Of course it does.Families fleeing violence are NOT required to come to the United States. There are destinations much closer and much safer to drag children too.I'll be happy to address your questions after you address mine.

I looked at the post you made that I responded to an noticed a dirth of ?'s. In fact, just one.
Q: While you're at it, tell us when enough will be enough?
I am not of the belief that this is a zero sum game. We always have room for some and of those sum, are asylum seekers. This is long standing law - both federal and international. We have always been a haven for the persecuted. I don't feel that should change - it's foundational in our nation. And, as I said - it is the current law.
Now I ahve answered your singular question.
Your turn![]()
If you read the second paragraph it contained 3 questions, pardon my poor punctuation.
I have no problem with asylum seekers, however they can apply form their home countries. And international law requires them to apply in the first country the come to that offers it, that could be Mexico, or Belize
which is much closer. There's no reason for them to just show up at our border in mass and overload our systems. If they do they can wait their turn. If they cross illegally they can be prosecuted. A kid is NOT A VISA.

A kid is not a VISA.
But a kid is not a political tool either.
Families fleeing violence are not going to leave their kids to face that violence. If they did they would be piss poor parents.
They have right, under our law and international law, to a hearing. You can't deny that. Yet Trump's regime is barring them that. That would be against the law. Would you not agree?
It doesn't matter.
Flee violence to a country only 100 miles away, or closer. But they chose to jeopardize the life of their children by taking a thousand miles or more is abuse.
