A third bus of migrants from Texas arrived in Los Angeles Thursday, Mayor Karen Bass confirmed. The bus arrived at Union Station, the largest railroad passenger terminal in the Western United State…
I wonder how long it’ll take both sides to figure out that this issue has been going on for decades,? The immigration system is so broken it’d blow most peoples minds. nobody’s facing the real fact. We’re creating our own problem. Part of the problem is the immigration system is broken , it should be streamlined to make it easier to figure who shouldn’t should be here.
The other part of the problem is we allow weaponry to go to Central and South America which arms the cartels. They use the weapons to fight wars amongst themselves and threaten the populace. The cartels make the drugs, which are sent to the US which we buy which creates a bigger problem. So now the people in those countries flee here. Then we refuse to acknowledge on why they’re even fleeing to begin with.
Really should be stream lined. Problem is we can only reasonably take a tenth or less of who wants to immigrate, and the illegals just claim asylum when they get caught
Targeted and legitimate threats against their life.
So you know for a fact that none of these people have ever been targeted or threatened by gang members? Or, is having a gangster wave a gun at your toddler not targeted enough? Since it has to be targeted, I imagine you don’t think fleeing an advancing military force, like many Ukrainians have had to, is enough? It might be worth thinking about that Einstein was a refugee in this country. He wasn’t treated any differently than any other German Jew by the Nazis, so bear that in mind with your “targeted” requirement.
Right now, there are 1.6 million pending asylum claims, it’s being heavily abused.
Brazil alone has nearly 230 million people. The total population of Central and South American countries is about 600 million people. That means less than 0.3% are seeking asylum. This seems reasonable to me. Given what you know about the countries these people are coming from, what is the percentage you would expect to be fleeing violence?
I’m gonna need a source for that claim of abuse. What are you basing that on?
As to the poem, it’s not just a poem. It espouses the principles America was founded on. If you don’t like it, have you considered leaving?
The point isn’t to stop the gangs and violence, it’s to take in the people fleeing that violence so that they do not get killed because of that violence. These are people with skills and a desire to make a better life for themselves, they have a place here, and there are not that many of them no matter how big you want to that “1.6 million” figure sound by skipping the context of the total numbers.
You’re clearly not interested in actually thinking about this, or you’d be engaging more. Answer some of my questions with facts and figures, and we can continue.

What circumstances do people have to flee to be granted asylum here? Or do you think there should be no asylum, regardless?
Side note, do you remember the quote on the Statue of Liberty?
Targeted and legitimate threats against their life. Right now, there are 1.6 million pending asylum claims, it’s being heavily abused.
And while it’s a nice poem, it does not work in real life when everyone north of the Darian Gap wants in.
Edit: Source on the 1.6 million claim. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/26/us/asylum-backlog-highest-record/index.html#:~:text=US immigration courts have seen an over seven-fold,backlog grew to over 750%2C000%2C per the clearinghouse.

I at least found a similar source for your claims: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/26/us/asylum-backlog-highest-record/index.html

1.6 million of them? If 1.6 million people are being individually targeted, the problem won’t be solved with asylum.
