Hello Aaron,
AI>> Asylum seekers arriving at the border on American soil and asking
AI>> for asylu is perfectly legal. That is how it's done. Then they
AI>> have a hearing and the
AT> There has been a change to this. Individuals who cross through a third
AT> country, but do not apply for asylum there first, will lose their
AT> right to apply for asylum in the USA. The move was challenged in the
AT> US Supreme Court, and was upheld.
Indeed this part is new since Donald Trump put forward his new policy.
It flies in the face of American and International law.
AI>> Nobody is sneaking.
AT> Haven't you heard about the underground tunnels? Human trafficking
AT> cartels? Wall jumpers? Swimming across the Rio Grande? This is all
AT> stuff that I'd call "sneaking."
This is a different and very real issue. It's the main reason I recommend against the wall that people will go over, under or around regardless of what it costs to put up, it gets you nowhere.
AI>> Democrats are Americans, just like you. I don't think they are the
AI>> enemy yo seem to think they are. They are different sure, but they
AI>> want law & order secure borders the same as you do.
AT> You lost me at the "law & order" part. Democrats are aligning with BLM
AT> & ANTIFA.
People who support BLM are Americans too, and these people are standing up for law & order and I don't think you need to fear an anti fascist ideology.
#Antifa was one of Donald Trumps silly tweets, one of many.
AT> There is non-stop violence in Portland, Oregon (of all places.) The
AT> Democrats want police defunded,
Rubbish. This is not now and never was a Democrat policy.
AT> inmates released early, and cheaper street drugs.
More rubbish.
AT> It's not the version of "law & order" that I had in mind.
I am aware.
Ttyl :-),
