No, but you can damn sure bet that some parents who are deported to face fear and likely death, and know that their children as safe in America and will most likely stay…will shrug and accept. Because the kids are why they did it.
I’d have second thoughts about my child’s new homeland if the last view I had was her in a cage stuffed with other kids and clutching her only possession-a foil sheet. This is so obviously Trump saying “We will kidnap your children and cage them like dogs if you come here.”
Why would someone kidnap a child to claim asylum? If someone claims asylum, it isn’t like a magic word that lets anyone into the country in a manner immune from review by authorities.
So if some dude just wants to work in the U.S., to the extent that they can sneak across the border and find work illegally, well, I understand that. By why would someone kidnap a child, turn themselves into U.S. authorities at the first chance they get (which is basically what has to happen for asylum cases), and live in limbo for months and months with a kidnapped child waiting for their claim of persecution to be adjudicated? It makes no sense whatsoever. You’ve made up a really, really stupid and imaginary risk for something that makes no sense.
You might as well say that them 'messicans are gonna dress up their drugs and mary-wanna to look like babies so that brave U.S. police will let them through the border without being checked, and then go on to rape our women and vote in California elections.
I’m imagining all across the country, alcoholics are calling their sponsor and friend for support while they try to resist the urge to drink. Maybe their problem is that they are decent human beings, so what the heck, go ahead, get shit faced.
When this shitstorm passes, you can sober up, you did it once, you can do it again. And if it doesn’t pass, then why bother?
Ok, please tell us all why you want to have open borders?
I will admit that yes, the USA has all the resources it needs to accommodate millions more people. Yes, our people per square foot is not nearly as bad as most other countries. The average home in the USA is bigger and houses far fewer people than in other countries.
BUT, we like it that way. Your right, NIMBY is out there. I am not into crowds. Crowded beaches,pools (this one in Japan), parks, schools, roads, etc… People want quiet neighborhoods not ones teeming with people. We want some space. We (well alot of people) want a large home with a backyard for all our stuff. We dont want to pay the massive taxes needed for all the infrastructure.
What your thinking is a very massive reconstruction of this countries social and economic system. How do you propose we get that to happen?
We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don’t take our trips on LSD
We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like livin’ right, and bein’ free
I’d say they would be permitted to mount a collateral attack on the presumption that they understood what they were waiving.
I’d say that it’s fair to detain them and process their new asylum claim.
I’d also say that maybe we could break free some of hat Border Wall money to fund ALJs on site (or via closed circuit TV) to make some threshold determinations.
