Maybe this will cause the GQP house to get off their assess and actually negotiate an immigration bill...


A federal judge on Tuesday struck down a Donald Trump-era policy used by U.S. border officials to quickly expel migrants because of the covid pandemic, saying the ban had little proven benefit to public health even as it shunted migrants to dangerous places.

U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in the District of Columbia vacated the order known as Title 42, effectively restoring asylum seekers’ access to the borders for the first time since the Trump administration issued it during the earliest days of the pandemic.


The decision — which takes effect immediately — knocks down one of the last remaining barriers to asylum from the Trump administration, advocates for immigrants said. It also poses an immediate logistical challenge for the Biden administration after two consecutive years of record apprehensions on the U.S.-Mexico border, with the possibility that the numbers could grow.

Biden officials have long worried about a mass rush to the border creating an emergency similar to the one that occurred in Del Rio, Texas, in Sept. 2021, when thousands of migrants crossed illegally and overwhelmed U.S. agents, creating a squalid camp on the banks of the Rio Grande that embarrassed the Biden administration.
Sullivan’s ruling also comes days after top border official Chris Magnus resigned under pressure after clashing with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security had no immediate response to the ruling.

Great, we need a few hundred thousand more "asylum seekers" wandering around our streets".
 
Federal judges can do whatever they want! They're not elected you know, they're appointed.
 
Not as much as we need more Americans to get off the sidelines and see employment.
Oh, well gee, what a great idea! I can't think of a single time when pointing at a million people and saying "do this!" didn't work brilliantly!

So, after the fantasies and nonsolutons are cast aside, come on back and let's talk reality. .

I have no idea WTF you're blabbering about. BLS says we have 5 million unemployed so why do with need more "asylum seekers"?
 
Of all the ways to get more immigrants (of whom we do indeed need many more), the asylum process is the absolute worst.
 
Maybe because they are willing to do the work the unemployed are not.
Got anymore cliches? Why would that make a difference - We have no idea who they are or what they were in their old country, nor where they ARE.

They’re the same people we are but they speak a different language. Maybe if they came with subtitles it would be easier for you. I’ll ask at the meeting tonight, let you know tomorrow😜

I hope BP agents are ready for another human tidal wave.

they arent. it's not a tidal wave like the caravans it's a constant stream by the thousands day and night
BP are basically travel agents/ "are you comfortable? would you like a pillow? heres your phone and your ticket
stay in touch"

World wide problem that requires grown up solutions to lessen. But that’s not how we roll politically these days.

Maybe republicans in congress will finally address immigration?

Sure. "ENFORCE LAWS ON THE BOOKS".

But the Dems will want AMNESTY ("path to citizenship")

I know you don't. It was a post for others to laugh at to laugh at you.

Dems don’t want amnesty. The last time the US did amnesty, was al Reagan’s doing.

What laws on the books are you talking about, that aren’t being enforced?
 
With 3.5% unemployment, we do indeed need them.
No, we don’t.

Low unemployment is how you raise wages, and in any event very few of these people possess any job skills to speak of relevant to the US labor market

We don’t need any more immigrants, in fact we need much fewer, we should be canceling visas by the tens of thousands and returning people home. Recent massive lay offs in the tech industry should mean we should be canceling all the H1B visas previously issued for that sector
