Right. So they're abusing the system by claiming asylum and then disappearing into America hoping for a magic, blanket 'amnesty for all' that eventually will happen.
The asylum loophole needs to be closed, and it's simple how to do so. Asylum can only be requested at a US Consulate aboard. End of story.
Nope. By international law, asylum can be requested at any border. In almost every nation in the world. You don't ever want to visit the ones that don't abide by the law.
The reason is very simple; if you intend to exterminate someone, it's always better and easier to do it inside your nation than outside. It's impossible to walk into a consulate if the entrance is barred. That's what always happens early on when an oppressive leader takes over a country.
That's the thing about walls. They are better at keeping people in than keeping them out.
The ranks of the caravan have been growing daily and at last estimate it is about 7000 people.
Imagine 7000 people that are poor, desperate, don't recognize or care about laws marching down your street.
That would be a pretty scary sight to behold.
The question is what will happen when this horde makes it to our border? Will they be turned away or let in? Will each person have their case for asylum heard and granted?
Here is a question for the Liberals that welcome these people. If they are truly fleeing from and seeking asylum from violence then why don't they seek it in the countries they are walking through?
Here is another question. If we allow the 7000 people into the country what are we going to do the next time when 10,000 storm the border?
Why would I need to room a family of 9? What makes you think a family of 9 will be allowed in?
I have no idea why you want them here. I guess you need cheap labor to mow your lawn and clean your toilet. You're probably a child molester too - why else would you want children being trafficked across the border?
Mexico should round them up and ship them back south. Last time I was in the Chiapas region of Mexico, near the Guatemala border, Federal police routinely boarded the busses I was on to check passports and IDs looking for illegals.
Problem with that is it appears the Mexican police are escorting them north.
One reason I like Fox in general is because they highlight the nonsense of opposition media using their own video. The montages of every network parroting the same buzz words and catch phrases is enough to convince the most skeptical that they are all coordinating their message according to 'orders.'
I wish I had paid closer attention last night (I was busy cooking) but I heard someone at CNN say they weren't going to show pictures of the caravan any more, giving some lame excuse. The real reason is their narrative is biting them in the arse as more Americans become alarmed at the mobs.
Do you have any idea how far away these people are? Why the uproar?
And no, I don't think they will get here before the midterms.
Sure we should have a plan IF they make it the remaining huge distance.
But right now, it's a big non-issue.
Neither the Huns; nor the migrants, are at the gate.
