new asylum policy....

'Zero Immigration'. Problem solved.

Works pretty well for Japan. Maybe they're on to something.

I believe I speak for most liberals when I say that we expect refugees and people seeking asylum to be treated humanely, to be given due process, and for our nation to attempt uphold its values as being generally open and empathetic to the oppressed, the poor, and the downtrodden. Just like the Statue of Liberty says.

They are being treated humanely. Just because leftist hacks say they aren't doesn't make it so. Hell, they are getting better treatment than they got in their own third world shit holes.

What I do not appreciate seeing is conservatives dehumanizing these people, painting them in the worst possible light at every opportunity, and using xenophobic Nazi codes words like "illegal aliens" and "invasions of brown people from the south!"

No one is doing that. What I do not appreciate are all the leftist lies, the false narratives and the attempts to pretend illegal immigration is not a massive problem.

Not a practical solution. Zero chance of it becoming law.

Pass it as a 'stop gap' measure. Then, it IS the Law. At some point, maybe a rational Policy will emerge as we battle 'Overpopulation' and 'Degradation of the Planet'.
We don't NEED any more people. Automation, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence is the 'Future'.

"According to recent estimates, the 23 wards that make up the city of Tokyo had an approximate 2016 population of 9,262,046. The 23 wards made up the boundaries of the historic city of Tokyo, which was officially dissolved in 1943 when it merged with the prefecture. Today, Tokyo extends way beyond the original city boundaries, and is one of the largest urban sprawls in the world, which doesn't make it easy to explain exactly how many people live in Tokyo."

Sounds like a great place ... NOT to live.

So tell the best and brightest around the world to go start their businesses in other countries. How does that benefit us?

the best and the brightest aren't entering illegally......

the best and the brightest aren't entering illegally......

He's talking about zero immigration.

In principle, I do not believe the United States has to accept all refugees who would like to come here, and I do not think it is a bad idea to expect them to apply for asylum in other countries and not just rely on the goodwill of the United States.

there you have it then......even the rabid left agrees this solves the problem.......

using xenophobic Nazi codes words like "illegal aliens"

????.....why do you pretend that a legally accurate description of who they are is "Nazi"?........is that part of the fascist propaganda that you lib'ruls are trying to spread?......

The written and passed law is the guideline not executive branch orders.

Are you also for enforcing the written and passed law for immigration?

Apparently not.

[CFM]

Of course, allow asylum seeks full access to portals with guaranteed clean and healthy centers.

Deport those who have deportation orders that they have ignored.

If those centers weren't better than what they're leaving, they'd go back.

[Darth Omar]

You are not. They are allowed to apply for asylum and then prove their case in court.

But they are supposed to stop at the first asylum-country and petition for asylum there.

Unless they are after something besides asylum.

problem solved?......

Great idea. However, doesn't Congress have plenary power over immigration and the Executive Branch the authority to enforce the laws?

Is this an Executive power of enforcing the laws?

[Lord Yurt]

The written and passed law is the guideline not executive branch orders.

Isn't the Executive Branch constitutionally allowed to enforce immigration laws?

[Lord Yurt]

'Zero Immigration'. Problem solved.

Why are you so stupid?

[Lord Yurt]

sorry, but executive orders are legal and effective.....

All of them and any of them?
