No one said that they are all going to qualify, just that they are allowed to apply. She specifically stated "Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime". If someone comes for work, files for asylum with no other reason, they will be denied. 99% of this group might not qualify under the guidelines and she would still be correct.
Correct, but nobody said applying for asylum is a crime?
So? There is an effort to try to paint them all as criminals. She pointed out that some are simply trying to apply for asylum and that's not a crime.
Let's not leave out domestic help for cheap...

The best answer to the Immigrant issue is simple, if you're here illegally you get:
No welfare
No legal support
No Social Security (can't believe that bs)
No jobs
No child here illegally can attend a public school
Anyone found hiring illegals:
First time is an "educational" fine, with mostly "Here's how you avoid hiring illegals, verifying information and what happens next..."
Second offense is fines per employee per day and more education on "what's next".
Third offense fines the upper management of offending company 10k per illegal employed and.. more education on how to avoid doing so and how bad life is going to be if they do it again.
Fourth is criminal charges against all parties involved in the hiring.
You have to couple this with a VERY robust system to punish those that refuse to hire people who ARE legally here/citizens and are minorities to keep the idiots from using that avoid hiring minorities. It will take work but it will solve the biggest problems.
You would remove all incentive for people being here, wouldn't really need a wall even.
What do you call it when someone takes a statement, change it into something that wasn't said, then bash it?
I thought it was an inept government that was corrupt and it was gang violence that caused the high murder rate, not a genocide. Do you have proof of that.
Trump has done something that should have happened years ago. We have such a backlog of "asylum seekers" that over 80% never show up for their trials and have already moved into sanctuary cities.
Maybe you are so poor that none of this matters to you because you don't have to pay for it. But somebody does.
Maybe you are so clueless that these people by the thousands migrate into all states putting a burden on whatever state they migrate to providing for their children, their education, healthcare, housing, food stamps etc. while their own children go without because there isn't enough money often to take care of everything. People throughout the states are seeing the real estate taxes and other taxes rising because of the influx of immigrants. This isn't Rock Candy Mountain where handouts grow on bushes. For cripe sakes. School houses need upkeep. But if you are having to pay for extra social workers, translators /aides to deal with it you don't get the upkeep on the school houses. Is that so hard for you to understand ? And the result is all us real estate owners are seeing our taxes go through the roof and our own home grown kids are not benefiting from them. Got It?
There is A major crisis at the Southern border. These people have been well warned. You don't charge into a country and expect a welcome mat at your feet. ENOUGH! This **** need to stop NOW.
You just see potential democrat voters, and don't give a damn about the laws of the Nation. Party first, am I rite?
If you have to ask you are proving it again.Which point of yours did I prove?
Yes and clearly you do not.Do you know what a bigot is?
Did I say there was?Is there such a thing as justifiable bigotry?

This gal is so stupid, the people who look up to her or thinks she's smart make me shake my head.
Incorrect. She was pointing out that people are acting as though these people are acting as though they are all criminals because they came to request asylum. This is not a moral comparison and it's absolutely absurd for you to continue trying.
Let's review:
You have not disputed that its a red herring issue, whose legality was never questioned.
You have not disputed that the structure of her tweet is can't be a legal argument.
You have not disputed that the structure or content of her tweet (an analogy) on its face was the inverse of a rational argument - implying that because people who clearly deserved an opportunity for sanctuary (Jews) got it, then somehow so should a bunch of folk with far less justification.
You have not disputed the deductive process - that her rhetorical gambit only makes sense if she thinks that the caravan plight is equivalent.
All you have done is deny.
Sad really, because her tweet forces one to conclude that either she is stupid or delusional or both.
I worded it badly.This is not actually true. It's still not legal to cross the border. It just tends to be forgiven IF asylum is granted. Also, most cases of this happening (that I have read about) have the person or group crossing detained until the request is processed.
I worded it badly.
Something like "Crossing the border illegally does not prevent someone from requesting asylum." would make more sense.

A message to Renae, and Lindsey Graham and Fox. As the Simon and Garfunkel song put it ("The Boxer"?) "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." Your headline, FOX's headline, and Lindsay Graham's comment of course included Jews, but none of the other populations she mentioned as analogous to the present time.
Just another way to bash an intelligent woman who laid out her argument well. Welcome to "Hillary-bashing, The Sequel." Think of it: she's an outspoken female, young, and from a presumably secure seat. So there are years ahead of mindless, snarky, or exaggerated criticism. We have already heard about her clothes and shoes. Nice start. And she has brown skin. To quote another song, from my parent's time, "who could ask for anything more."
And, of course, Graham referred her to the Holocaust Museum. Unfortunately, it has (or had when I visited) a display in its basement about Jews turned away from the US, apparently due to biases in the State Department at the time. Sound familiar? The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees which set up the system for dealing with refugees that US laws are modeled on, referred to the holocaust in its language. So what is happening on the border has valid prequels in our history. She was right. Deal with it.
A fake attack IMHO, she did not compare them to Jews Fleeing Nazi Germany. All she did was protesting the fact that people in the Republican party are trying to criminalize people trying to apply for refugee status who come from Middle/South America. Giving examples of other people fleeing violence does not mean they are going through the exact same thing as the Jewish people, just talking about the correct fact that trying to claim refugee status should not be criminalized by Trump and his foreign demonizing lot.

Y'all the only ones bringing Trump in here, no matter how many times I state I didn't vote for him, not fan.. hell I was attacking him in the primaries as a bad choice. Don't know why you people insist on bringing him up all the time.Ocasio-Cortez could probably eat alphabet soup and crap out something smarter than Trump.Then again,so could my dog.
I think this is a great comprehensive approach. Except I've move up criminal charges to #3

I dont think we should just let everybody in. I don't support open boarders. People on the right need to get a grip, and stop talking like illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, want to be immigrants, and asylum seekers are destroying America.
This conversation isn't just a matter of law, but of fear, paranoia, changing demographs, and some white people being uncomfortable about all those changes
