That poster just admitted that it was a direct, not-so-veiled accusation of racism.

He’s a liberal, like you. That’s what they do.

The first step would be to require all of them to watch Roy Beck.
I think Trump has the right idea. Given that 80% of the asylum claims are bogus, and so many don’t return for their hearings, they should wait in Mexico pending a hearing. It would be to America’s benefit.

And P.S. Liberals fight tooth and nail to keep illegal aliens from being deported, no matter what, anyway. So once they’re here with their bogus claims, they know they’re here for good.
Asylum seeking is not a legal immigration process where one applies from their country fills out papers and waits to be accepted either. Asylum seeking may not be an illegal thing to do but it's not the above process. What bothers me but apparently not the one you replied to is that 80% of them are lying and making bogus asylum claims statistically. And what's with the Spanish speaking reference? It's a fact that most illegal aliens and asylum seekers are Spanish speakers but what does that have to do with anything other than playing the race card?

They're children! They have no idea what asylum is. They probably were kidnapped from back home and forced to come here because border patrol would be less likely to stop an adult with a child than if they traveled alone.

You can take a pile of manure and spread it over your garden but you still have the manure. Demented repulsive Biden seems to be particularly adept at being the manure-spreader-in-chief.
You are not being honest...Actually Biden is cleaning up the problem Trump created by separating kids from their families

That's exactly what Obama did with the surge under his administration.
Spread them out and they become "forgotten citizens".

Leaving immigration up to each POTUS to enforce leaves the rest of us who have to deal with it and the cost at a disadvantage. And it has created massive problems.

The save the world liberals and the cheap labor conservatives are getting exactly what they want in a do nothing house and senate.

Too bad the rest of the USA has to deal with the problems on a daily basis. My state welcomed illegals and didn't keep track of the cost for many years. They probably couldn't tell us the cost to the taxpayers today.

Everyone knows that these people are coached by the criminal traffickers making thousands per person. They’re given a script of exactly what to say in order to be classified as seeking asylum.

Kidnapping might be one of the reasons but I suspect that with most of them their parents sent them up here knowing full well under Biden's policies that they would be allowed into our country or their parents deserted them long ago and are here illegally themselves.

From my personal experience working at the border right now, half of the migrants or asylum seekers in 2021 are from Brazil, Armenia, Haiti, India, Cuba, and former Soviet Bloc countries.
