How many of those kids are you going to foster?
Step up and be humane since their parents are scum.
WALK THE WALK
Their parents are scum, though? What makes you pass that judgment on all those people you haven't met? There is a refugee crisis happening in Central America and as the best place to go, yes they're trying to come here for some stability and safety and a chance at a better life. Instead of dealing with the exploding violence and drug cartels down there at the source and recognizing it for what it is, our government is calling them animals and accusing them of infesting our country.
Don't you buy that, too, TN. That's not what Americans do.
Yes, they are scum.
Please show me how families are being torn apart from seeking asylum.
I have heard its only from them ILLEGALLY entering the country.
"seeking asylum" seems to be a talking point with no one willing to back it up.
I have honestly asked for a link like 10 times the past week or 2. Never get a response.
You're right. They are taking advantage and it has worked for years, so they come across the border, sometimes directly into the arms of a border patrol agent and sometimes not, but as soon as they are caught, they say the magic word "asylum." Some deliberately cross with border patrol agents waiting and make that claim. That's how asylum seekers have been entering Canada from here, btw. Technically, every one of them has violated the law by "entering" the country illegally, even if it only to stand on our side of the border and tell a border patrol agent they are seeking asylum. Why don't they apply at a port of entry? I don't know. Maybe it takes weeks/months/years for a decision? There aren't enough judges, that's for sure, and Trump doesn't want to hire any, either. He said that straight up yesterday.
I still think we should have a law saying we will not entertain a request for asylum if the immigrant enters illegally. I know we'd need an exception for emergencies like boat people or whatever, but for the most part, a lot of folks from Central America are gaming us.
That doesn't make them scum. That makes them human for wanting a better life.
