Liberals still insist there's no emergency, it's not a major problem.
The fanatics point out "These are legal asylum seekers", as though that made it OK for them to sweep through American cities and overwhelm the facilities.
OK, so let's change the definition of "legal": These supposed "asylum seekers" can't get in to the United States until their case is called before a U.S. Immigration Court to decide its validity. They'll have to wait somewhere south of the border until then.
If Mexico doesn't like that, then I suggest they do something about it. Hundred of thousands of "asylum seekers" pouring into Mexico is not our problem. We simply don't have the courts and detention spaces etc. to handle so many. Mexico let them into their country. It's their turn to handle them. Start building detention cnters, soup kitchens, etc. etc. Or maybe just tell the "asylum seekers" they can't cross from Guatemala or wherever, into Mexico. If the "asylum seekers" want to come into the U.S., they'll have to take a number and stand in line. Somewhere else.
'We’ve never seen anything like this': As Trump threatens to close border, migrants overwhelm Texas cities

* Border Patrol agents expect to see more than 100,000 apprehensions and encounters with migrants in March, the highest monthly total in over a decade.
* Vast majority of those crossing between ports of entry turn themselves into Border Patrol agents, seeking asylum.
* On Friday, Trump threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border if Mexico didn't stop undocumented migrants from coming.
EL PASO – Under a bridge connecting the U.S. with Mexico, dozens of migrant families cram into a makeshift camp set up by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The families are there because permanent processing facilities have run out of room.
Seven hundred miles east, busload after busload of weary, bedraggled migrants crowd into the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas. Organizers there are used to handling 200 to 300 migrants a day. Lately, the migrants have been arriving at a clip of around 800 a day, overflowing the respite center and straining city resources.
“It’s staggering,” McAllen City Manager Roy Rodriguez said. “Really, we’ve never seen anything like this before.”
Along the Texas border with Mexico – from El Paso to Eagle Pass to the Rio Grande Valley – masses of migrants have been crossing the border in unprecedented numbers, overwhelming federal holding facilities and sending local leaders and volunteers scrambling to deal with the relentless waves of people.

This BS needs to stop and I hope Trump does everything possible to end this or we will lose our country.
This country is supposed to be our refuge and asylum. These people need to go home.
I bet the big corporations that back all these liberals are the ones behind this mass immigration. It gives them cheap labor, and the democrats in power by increasing their voting base with every child born from these immigrants, illegal or not, on American soil. They are hell bent on turning Texas and Florida blue forever with all of this mass immigration, and with those two states, along with California and NY, they will have the electoral votes needed to make sure the president they pick to do their bidding gets elected.

Trump is the only political official reported to be hiring illegal immigrants.
Bummer.
