When faced with Democrats that oppose Trump's autocracy, or his racist targeting of immigrants of color, the new wave of conservatives rant about open borders. I haven't heard any Democrats argue in support of open borders, but I have heard many argue in favor of the rule of law. NW and his fellow traverlers have disparaged those seeking asylum as "illegal immigrants." But the law is clear.

From the decision by Judge Tigar:

Quote:
Congress has clearly commanded in the INA that any alien who arrives in the United States, irrespective of that alien’s status, may apply for asylum – “whether or not at a designated port of arrival.” 8 U.S.C.
§ 1158(a)(1).
...
The rule barring asylum for immigrants who enter the country outside a port of entry irreconcilably conflicts with the INA and the expressed intent of Congress. Whatever the scope of the President’s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden. Defendants’ claims that the rule can somehow be harmonized with the INA are not persuasive.


You can read more of the reasoning, but this is from the decision.

Do get it right, you keep fucking up.

mac: "NW and his fellow traverlers have disparaged those seeking asylum as "illegal immigrants." "

They only become illegal AFTER they SNEAK into our country, not before.

And it's not like we're trying to be the world champs at border security, that belongs to somebody else, and they can have it.

Completely unclear on the facts. Those who cross without permission may still seek asylum. Notwithstanding Trump's extra-legal efforts to stop them.

As illegals, but that doesn't mean they'll get it,,,,,,,, that's called clarity.
You keep changing things and mentally meander about to suit your own discussion.

And there in lies the problem - and as you stated, Trump wanting to change the law.

Now that it's clear to all that want to cross and cross illegally, just claim asylum and hope to be let loose in the US until their case can be heard, some years down the road. It's nuts!!! So Trump is trying to keep anyone from crossing illegally, which makes complete sense. If one crosses illegally, and can't claim asylum, that should help with managing the whole process.

Ahh, I have no trouble with Trump trying to change the law. That would require working with Congress rather than issuing Executive Orders that are so badly drafted that they are overturned. Working with Congress wouild almost surely mean opening a path to citizenship for those who have been here a long time, and Trump's hard right immigration guy, Steven Miller, won't go there.

Even Fox news reports that 83% of the public support a pathway to citizenship. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-83-percent-support-pathway-to-citizenship-for-illegal-immigrants

I would support that, and addtional staffing to check the legitimacy of claims to asylum. That is hardly an open border.

Mac,

If congress could change the law in the next month so that only those crossing the border legally could claim asylum, would you support that?

It seems to me that now that the "cat is out of the bag", any of the 11 million illegals in the US, if caught and detained by ICE could now claim asylum, potentially creating an impossible backlog.

If all illegals are granted a path to citizenship in the future, what will that mean to those considering entering illegally and how will that impact future border security?

While "the wall" may not be the definitive answer, nevertheless, coming up with someway to absolutely control our borders seems like an important goal.

While liberals may not like Trump's methods or solutions, at least he has the balls to try and solve the problem. All other presidents have done little or nothing to address the problem. One of the main reasons Trump got elected.

techno...c'mon man, you're smarter than that. If Trump had "balls", he'd craft a comprehensive plan, and get it through Congress and fix this mess. Instead he's spending hundreds of millions making it worse. I know it riles up the natives, and that seems to be his modus operandi , but its not a solution to anything and it's not going to deter someone who is fleeing a horrible situation....

Techno—I told you what I would support—a comprehensive immigration reform passed through Congress and signed by the President. Something like the bill that passed the Senate, and would have passed the House if allowed to go to the floor, but Tea-baggers and cowardly Republican leadership held up.

I’m well aware that you are a hard opponent of immigration, and far less rabid than many. But Trump doesn’t have balls—eyewitnesses say otherwise. He just has contempt for law and legal process. I repeat, the prosecute them all sentiment that Sessions embodied and that seemed to attract you is not only wildly expensive—it is broadly opposed.

Fleeing a horrible situation??? so you walk through two countries to get to the US?? It's not Asylum ala carte

Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes


They are not asylum seekers, they want to live in America and are willing to chance life and limb because of the ridiculous message America sends them.......mostly because of liberals and spineless republicans...Thank god we finally have a President with a backbone...
