I despise gang bangers, yet, I had to take care of them at my job. I didn't judge them or treat them any differently than I did any of my patients. They were people in a vulnerable state and still human beings. How would you want to be treated if you were cold and hungry and had just lost everything, maybe even a loved one? What if it was your kid outside in the rain cold and hungry?

It should be the same with desperate people trying to escape deplorable situations. We should help them. It doesn't mean that they should be allowed to live here, but lets treat them like human beings. We are all creatures of one species that live on one planet. Hate is not the answer. It's a cancer of the soul.

Who has said they hate the people in the caravan? Not one person in here. How are they being treated inhumanely? If people are going to make claims then they should back them up.

There is nothing illegal about someone from another country requesting asylum in the US. You are the one who doesn't understand or have respect for the Constitution and our laws.

Nothing wrong with disrespecting the many asylum seekers that absolutely know that they dont qualify before even asking for asylum.
Nothing wrong with not respecting or wanting your so-called asylum seekers who throw rocks at our border patrol officers.

It is in fact impossible to respect any parent who would use their children as human shields.

There is nothing illegal about asking for asylum.

What you don't understand is that the vast majority in these caravans don't qualify for asylum. There are even invasion cheerleaders who coach them on what lies to tell in an effort claim asylum. You also don't understand that for years, we did catch and release. People were given court dates to make their asylum claim to a judge. The vast majority never show up for those court dates. Don't you think that those in the caravans know this? To them, the whole process is a joke. Make a false claim, get a court date, never show up and never have fear of getting caught and deported.

It's long past time to put an end to all that nonsense

I don't assume I'm omniscient. I don't know who the people in the caravan are, and I don't accept the word of anti-immigrant bigots like Donald Trump. If someone hasn't personally spoken with these people to hear their story, they have no idea whether or not they qualify for asylum.

Please cite where Trump has stated he despises legal immigration. IMO, it's bigoted when people put the needs of illegals in front of Americans.



This congresswoman announced she was going to the border to see why it was taking so long to get the migrants processed, smh. She managed to "help" five. FIVE. Perhaps she discovered that to process the migrants properly, and lawfully, it takes more time than she thought. Idiot.

Speaking of our immigration laws:



https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-...1324a-offenses




Bringing Aliens to the United States -- Subsection 1324(a)(2) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever, such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien.

Code words used to describe anyone who believes that there is a difference between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants.

As far as speaking to them.
They were offered asylum in Mexico. On one hand the left says that Mexico isn't a sheet hole. On the other the left says Mexico is so bad that it isn't safe. Now which is it?

How about they only want the USA because of the huge benefits we pay out to asylum seekers compared to what Mexico offers?

Per the bolded --- Give us all a break

There is a difference between being anti-illegal alien and anti-immigrant. Trump, like many of us, is the former. Stop pretending to not know the difference This might come as a shock to you but legal immigrants don't like illegal aliens. Does that make them bigots?

Most of us can figure out that this caravan is 80% young males who have no claim to asylum. It isn't rocket science.
