    Yes. Why do people MOVE from crowded Cities to the Suburbs? Why do people like Open Spaces? Why do people NOT like living like Rats on top of each other?
    Gee. Really tough questions.

    "Maybe"? In other words you don't know, and still you say Biden is lying.

    Trump instituted REMAIN with Mexico - they stay there while they are getting vetted for asylum claims.
    They dont stay in "poverty or cages" either - more Biden lies.

    Again with the lies, and yet you claim it is Biden lying. Do you have a clue as to what the unemployment rate is in Mexico? Do you have any f**king idea where the refugees are living at, or under what conditions? Of course not just like the true braindead toady you are.

    I'm all for asylum and legal entry, but not "catch and release" and illegal immigration
    Dems want to obscure the differences
    Bull shit.

(Matthew 25: 31-46) “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” God calls us to protect and seek justice for those who are poor and vulnerable, and our treatment of people who are “oppressed,” “strangers,” “outsiders,” or otherwise considered “marginal” is a test of our relationship to God, who made us all equal in divine dignity and love. Our proclamation of the lordship of Jesus Christ is at stake in our solidarity with the most vulnerable. If our gospel is not “good news to the poor,” it is not the gospel of Jesus Christ (Luke 4:18).
    So, I have to ask a few questions on this one. How broadly are we defining a valid asylum claim? A lot of the world is in a pretty bad state, at least compared to the First World. One could argue that the majorities of the populations in much of Central America and Africa could reasonably make a claim in favor of relocating here for a better life. If we accepted all those who would like to come here who did not carry a highly contagious disease and did not have a criminal record, you'd be looking at dozens of millions of people. What would you consider a reasonable limit to entry? Is there a valid numerical limit in your opinion, or is the limit based on something else?

We won’t accept the neglect of the well-being of low-income families and children, and we will resist repeated attempts to deny health care to those who most need it. We confess our growing national sin of putting the rich over the poor. We reject the immoral logic of cutting services and programs for the poor while cutting taxes for the rich. Budgets are moral documents. We commit ourselves to opposing and reversing those policies and finding solutions that reflect the wisdom of people from different political parties and philosophies to seek the common good. Protecting the poor is a central commitment of Christian discipleship, to which 2,000 verses in the Bible attest.
    It sounds like this is a far cry from the left that used to shun "legislating morality." If you're claiming that spending for the poor is a moral duty, why not apply morality to other facets of policy? Is it moral to have policies that encourage having children out of wedlock? Is it moral to have a society that is blasé about sleeping around?

    ...because it's more than "1%". Granted, because of the nature of the industry, it's hard to gauge what the actual rate is, like any other illegal activity. We can only go by the cases we catch.

    It's no different from the gap between the recorded rape rate and the actual rape rate. We know the former but can only infer the latter.

    Depends on the immigrant, although some of this is related to government loans that only immigrants have access to. Also, immigrants are quite diverse. Some groups are far more industrious than others.

    It applies especially to DACA recipients.

    Blaming Trump for holding Mexico more accountable is like blaming a landlord for evicting a drug dealer.

    People can always go to Canada if we won't let them in. Brazil is another option.

    But this does go back to an important point. Signing onto international agreements often puts national interests below globalist ones. We should withdraw from many of the asylum related agreements, so that we can have a policy more suited to our economic needs.

    Australia has an immigration policy that is far more economically driven than ours, and few people call them racist over it.

    DACA is a whole other can of worms. The more lenient we are on the applicable situations, the more it encourages defiance of immigration policies.

    You didn't say anything about detainment. I didn't either. I was correcting your inaccurate statement that the US doesn't have to let in people who are seeking asylum.

    Citizens like you. Who do nothing but take. Lazy fuckers. I have a great idea, how about for every hard working motivated immigrant we let in, one of you useless "citizens" get the the fuck out?

    Yes, I have. Saying DisneyLand is crowded is like saying water is wet. It's designed to be crowded.
