You are breaking federal immigration law by stepping one foot into our country, and you are breaking federal immigration law by claiming you are seeking asylum when you are not in fact seeking asylum.
You are incorrect in most instances. Although the law gets messy, yes.
It may have been a crime to cross the border illegally, but even if you do, you are allowed BY LAW to request asylum and if you do, you are LEGALLY ALLOWED to stay until your hearing.
Note that the R party refuses to pass bills that would fix this.Because the R party WANTS more illegal immigrants, to hurt the dems and to help R businessmen and farmers like Trump, who hires illegals.
WaPo:
"Under U.S. immigration law, migrants fleeing persecution can request asylum regardless of how they arrive on U.S. soil."
and
"Those who are apprehended after crossing the border illegally or who are being processed for removal from the country can apply for defensive asylum."
I understand that if you cross and claim asylum you can stay, though every clear-eyed American is well aware that people crossing are not seeking asylum is the truest sense of the word. We play dumb, and ignorantly buy what they are selling at the expense of the citizens of this country. There are mechanisms that can be implemented tomorrow at the border that would be legal, thus there being more "law and order." Stop them from coming into our country to begin with, and don't give them a chance to even ask for asylum. I also agree with you that businesses and farmers should be punished for hiring illegals :)
I understand Godwins law and how mentioning that Germans rulers name kills a topic.
But I have to ask this question: Do you think the run up into Hitlers rule was as comically, insane as what we are seeing out of this obese orange guy? I would have thought it was tame and the whole authoritarian stuff kind of snuck up on people.
Selling Bibles to pay fraud debts? Flying in rich guys to beg for fraud payment money ? Bragging to the nation that you won your local senior golf club tournament? Gag order to stop endangering citizens and court employees and family members trying to do their jobs? Firing longtime party workers to install family members to steer donations away from your party and into personal legal use? Gold colored mother freaking sneakers?

I think just about everyone agrees asylum law is broken and not working. Asylum is being abused by hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
the problem is that the Rs want the chaos to continue. They said exactly that.
not clear what executive orders can do. They are a Constitutional gray area. Congress is supposed to step up and pass laws, but the Rs won't let it. The Rs want the problem to continue. Fix that.
But no, of course you can't seal the border. It's 2000 miles long, Americans who own land on the border won't sell without a long fight, and believe it or not, people in Central and South America have ladders. And many or even most arrive in airplanes anyway.

if you ask for asylum you are generally entitled to stay in America until you get a hearing.
it seems the number of you people who understand this is next to zero.
I'm not saying the law is a good one, but that's basically the law.
It's you people who don't want to follow it.

Some more good news that once again shows that the polls are underestimating Democratic Party voters. Lots of examples showing this.

emocrat Marilyn Lands defeated Republican Teddy Powell in a special election Tuesday night for a state House seat in north Alabama that drew national attention.
Lands, a licensed professional counselor, flipped the seat from red to blue by besting Powell, a Madison city councilman, 62 percent to 37 percent with 92 percent of the precincts in District 10 reporting, according to unofficial results posted on the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office website.

The problem is that a compromise bi-partisan border bill between one group that wants illegal immigration and another group that wants zero illegal immigration results in one still allowing some illegal immigration. That is not acceptable to the latter. And speaking of ladder technology, well we have non lethal projectile technology.

Trump has massively overperformed his polling in the last two elections. Biden had a larger polling lead than Hilary and barely scraped by with a win. I appreciate your optimism always but I can’t bring myself to meet you there. Voters are not logical. They have short memories. Apathetic. I know so many Biden 2020 voters who are switching to Trump. Why? Couldn’t say.

no, the problem is what the Rs said: They want more illegal immigration because that will hurt the Dems. Full stop.

Dude you guys are freaking killing yourselves already on it.
Hard to believe anyone could think these two parties are different. Both right wing conservative war parties, both against universal healthcare and POC
Also, any proctologists in the house? I need a rear end job.
