  1. Name an immigration law and statute number, that the Right wing base has bothered to read that is not being enforced by the government.

  2. Title 42 suspends all title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right is using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspends 8 US code 1325; the misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty for crossing the border illegally. And 8 US code 1326; stiffer penalties for crossing the border. That leaves out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stops legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42. Makes it difficult to enforce immigration laws when Republicans are fighting in court to undermine our legal enforcement. With title 42 suspending enforcement that means many immigrants recross multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns is about 40% of border crossers. We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000 a 20 year high. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020. It has remained a 20 year high and increasing ever since under Trumps failed policies and Title 42.

  6. Did I hear the Right wing congressmen say I don't care about the record levels of border crossings at our northern border?

  7.  @patriciahayden8955  Trust me this is the short answer. Trumps policies were violating 40 year old US immigration laws and international treaty obligations on the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. This is a result of the the Rights agenda to undermine legal asylum that they feel is a loophole in our laws. 8 USC 1158 is our asylum law. The Right call it an open border policy, catch and release. That change in policy took us from a 17 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years, where we had a more orderly process, prior to Trump and his policies. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of southern border crossing to 977,000 a 20 year high. That was after his child separation policy that violated the law and was reversed in federal court, and caused an increase in unaccompanied minors. then remain in Mexico, a violation of USC 1158 section 1125, used to slowed the flow of legal asylum at ports of entry. Forcing them to wait in Mexico at the hands of cartels traffickers and other crimes. Causing more children sent unaccompanied. Increasing trafficking instead of brining them in where they are to be detained in our safety, by our laws and treaty obligations. Then title 42 that stopped all immigration, Republicans continue to use it past it's use to continue to undermine legal asylum. Causing the issues we have now.

  8.  @deborahkulha5945  No it wasn't, don't lie to me. He asked him if the border was secure, because the Right wants to ask questions to build a narrative for the low informed. This hearing was not about finding solutions or about securing the border it was trying to lay blame for a border crisis the right caused. The officer was adding context to make the congressmen understand they are understaffed to handle surges in certain sectors, and the need for congress to provide funding, and the Right keeps refusing that funding.

  11.  @merlinbotha363  LOl that is the problem the Right keep undermining the law, not only can they no longer cross legally, but now they can't come at all. Try and get a grasp as to what is actually going on. You can't on one side say you support legal immigration and support republican policies at the same time.

  16. That's because the Right wing base doesn't know how our border laws and voting laws work.

  19. As a tax payer I don't pay for congressional hearings to push right wing rhetoric and false narratives. He should be adding context to an answer when the Right often lie and use false information in question being asked. The Right wants a yes or no answer to fit the narrative they want. The rest of us want oversight.

  23.  @kimbee1964  asylum seekers fall under separate set of laws for humanitarian process. Canada's laws would be no different then ours.

  24.  @kimbee1964  the process would be to cross the border and make the request. At that point they are interviewed to see if their request qualifies to be able to see a judge or deported.

  25. The only purpose of this hearing is ti build a false narrative and not secure our borders. The Right has no moral compass.

  26. Because this was about pandering to a low informed base pushing false narratives.
