Being in a state of poverty is not a legitimate reason to legally seek asylum. These people must be turned back and not allowed entry, as allowing them in would incentivize this and more would come.

No, a Democrat open borders judge did not issue the Flores settlement. It was a settlement, that means that both parties to the case agreed on how to handle it, the presiding judge did nothing more than sign the agreement reached by the parties- no ruling was issued.

Why should the republicans "come to the table" when it comes to amnesty? After all, the dems won't "come to the table" when it comes to E-verify and funding the wall. Sorry.

Ah...now you've resorted to invoking Godwin's Law. You lose.

So...you won't mind one bit if they all relocated to your community? After all, you are cheering on their arrival. Are you getting your home ready to take in some of them? Does the thought of them coming to your community make you squirm? I noticed you avoided addressing that. Do you have a problem with thousands settling where you live?

How do you know they are all "unarmed"? You are very naive if you think that are all sweet, innocent people. In fact, none of them are sweet and innocent. Sweet and innocent people don't force their way into another country like they did to Mexico.

It's not a loophole - it's the way things are until the US is successful in reaching a first safe country rule with Mexico.

A loophole is a way to get around a law, in this case there is NO law supporting your claim to get around.
The Trump administration was trying to negotiate this with Mexico earlier this year, under what authority could Democrats go to Mexico and reach a deal with them?
It is a loophole. And asylum claimers who crossed Mexico should just be returned home as inadmissable.

e-verify was part of the 2013 immigration reform act, there were over 60 bipartisan senate votes, enough to pass it but Boehner refused to introduce it in the house. And then in 2018 fourteen Senate Republicans oppose Trump's immigration bill: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...tion-framework

You can't put the failure of Republicans to do anything about immigration on Democrats, Republicans clearly want the status quo and there's no reason that Dem's should bail them out.

The settlement could be altered, the original judge was asked to alter it and refused. The final agreement was under Democrat Clinton administration. You seem to gloss over leftist are the ones that caused the lawsuits to prevent immigration enforcement in the first place.

Obviously, you did not understand my reference to the Wehrmacht. Try again.

*pheasants
maybe stick with the theme you started


Sure, "this" group, what about the next group, and the groups after that, and what about all of the previous groups and loners..how many amphitheaters could they fill up? Meh, forget amphitheaters, they are way too small. Let's talk filling up cities instead. The number of illegals that are currently in this country is estimated at 12 million to 20 million (and could be even higher). 12 million would match the current population that is in NYC and LA. 20 million would match the populations that are currently in NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix and Philadelphia. (pffft amphitheaters)

Flores has been revisited several times, but I have no idea what you are talking about when you say that the "original judge was asked to alter it", and how could a judge alter a settlement without reopening the matter and having both parties stipulate to the change? Maybe I'm missing something here which is why I am asking you for a source that supports your allegation.
