Going through these threads on the separation of children and adults, it seems to me asylum seekers are using children to divide Americans. It also seems they are abusing our generous asylum policies to sneak into the country.
And as usual, it's divided on political lines. On the left, the tears flow over children being separated from their so-called parents, and on the right, tough love is the only way to have a long lasting solution.
But the solution to both of our concerns is just to end asylum in the US. Yes, we tried to be nice, we tried to be caring, but our empathy is now being used as a tool against us.
After getting rid of asylum, no more will these children be our concern. We won't have to be criticized about separation of children and adults because they won't be in this country. And if we are to have any kind of asylum, it must be done via mail. You can still apply for asylum from your country, but you need to request an asylum application from Washington DC. We will mail your application to you, and you can send it back postage paid. If you and your children are caught on US land, your application will immediately be rejected.
There, problem solved. Next?
Problem in no way solved. Stop being a simpleton and try again.
How is the problem not solved? Stop the problems before they get here. I think that's a pretty good solution.
You think that because you are a simpleton. Your ill-considered idea would only take an option away from a truly compassionate nation helping those who truly need it. The rest will just continue to enter illegally the old fashioned way, likely at greater risk to themselves and ICE officers.
Yes, it would take that option away. That's the idea. The program is now a problem, so get rid of the program. We tried compassion. It isn't working. They are using our compassion against us. How many times does your GF have to cheat on you before you break up with her?
He/she likes that sort of thing.
What sort of thing?
