Your last three sentences are evidence-free assertions, and btw, conflict with the law. In reality, all those who cross our southern borders are genuine asylum seekers fleeing the worst kind of persecution, unequaled since the Holocaust. Not really, the previous sentence is BS, but see how easy it is for me to make assertions without evidence.If you care whether you are ever taken seriously by more then the hard left on the immigration issue, you will at some point have to stop equating the morals of illegal immigrants with legal immigrants. And stop referring to illegals as refugees. They do not fit the legal definition unless they are actually facing persecution where they came from. As for the Visa overstayers, those laws should be enforced as well. And making it about Trump and Carlson is not going to win the argument. Trump is out of office and Carlson holds no office. As for Cuban migrants, they fit the description of refugees as they were facing persecution. Same with the Vietnamese who fled here as South Vietnam was being overrun. Ukrainians fleeing the present Russian invasion also qualify. Those sneaking across our southern borders are simply coming for welfare entitlements, free healthcare, and free smart phones. Their asylum claims are largely bogus. They are simply being instructed to declare that so they can get released inside the US and assigned a court date they never plan on showing up for.
One can cross the border illegally and still qualify for asylum. That’s the law. But if you have such incredible insight into the minds of those who come here saying they need protection, there is no need for asylum officers and immigration courts to waste their time and our money examining their claims. Share with others your insight into the minds of migrants. Perhaps you can teach others to be human lie detectors at a distance, without talking to those whose lie s one is detecting. We can then cut the DOJ’s budget significantly.
