Are you suggesting that we just open the borders to any person that lives in a dangerous place? My goodness, the world is a dangerous place. Chicago has had 234 murders this year so far. I vacation regularly in Mexico and I don't have a problem going to most places--there are dangerous locales in the US as well. We can make OUR country better, but we must regulate the number of immigrants to the US to a level where we can ADEQUATELY absorb the influx. That is not to say C'mon In and then deplete the treasury providing for them.True enough. We have policies in place that address immigration. It has to be legal and orderly and not put American interests in jeopardy. The current non-policy is worse than what we had. It created the problem. The asylum seekers should stay in the first safe country they come to until their case is reviewed in an orderly process. Releasing them without court dates does nothing but kick the can down the road and now we do have a problem in our borders that we could have handled had they not invaded the country illegally.Requesting asylum is a legal right under American law
Disagree on that - we had no real "policy" - other than brutality to try and deter them. And it left Biden with a huge bottle neck he was not well equip to handle or did not think through (much like Trump did not think through his "policies" on immigration). I will give Biden, as a new president, a few months to get a plan in place.
Problem is...WE likely are really the first safe country. Mexico is not. Mexico is very dangerous, beset with violence and traffickers. Didn't they recently find a mass grave with the remains of migrants in it?
