Yes, the statute serves no purpose any longer. The world is full of corrupt governments that make their people suffer. How did that become our problem? Let the people in these countries solve their own problems rather than trying to escape to the USA.Going through these threads on the separation of children and adults, it seems to me asylum seekers are using children to divide Americans. It also seems they are abusing our generous asylum policies to sneak into the country.
And as usual, it's divided on political lines. On the left, the tears flow over children being separated from their so-called parents, and on the right, tough love is the only way to have a long lasting solution.
But the solution to both of our concerns is just to end asylum in the US. Yes, we tried to be nice, we tried to be caring, but our empathy is now being used as a tool against us.
After getting rid of asylum, no more will these children be our concern. We won't have to be criticized about separation of children and adults because they won't be in this country. And if we are to have any kind of asylum, it must be done via mail. You can still apply for asylum from your country, but you need to request an asylum application from Washington DC. We will mail your application to you, and you can send it back postage paid. If you and your children are caught on US land, your application will immediately be rejected.
There, problem solved. Next?
Agreed. As long as we give them a place to go, they will have no desire to address the problems in their countries. Just pack your bags and hop on a train in Mexico to the US border.
I also don't see anybody trying to change the process outside of Trump. So let's just get rid of it. Asylum should be rare and only to select people who are in war torn areas, or perhaps to our overseas military who happen to find love in another country. Outside of that, gates closed as far as I'm concerned.
