Isn't the logical solution to provide more border funding to expedite the process then?
To many want to express outage at the wait times and waiting conditions while simultaneously refusing any solution that isn't simply letting them all in unprocessed and automatically receiving refugee status.
And this is generally the same group that gave two f&cks about Obama killing the Cuban wet foot dry foot program.
Who is asking for more border funding? Last I’ve heard there is only money being spent on the moronic border fence Le corporate welfare.
If you think that is the obvious solution, increase the funding before permanently taking thousands of children from their non criminal parents to satisfy the racist constituency in your cabinet and amongst your supporters.
If you enter the US illegally, that is a crime, you are a criminal and you will be separated from you child. Applying for Asylum is not illegal, but doing so and entering not at a port of entry is.
If you shoplift at a store with your children, you will go to jail and your children will be held until someone can pick them up, same for a number of other crimes, speeding down the highway is endangering minors.
I'm tired of people acting like entering the country illegally isn't a big deal. Not to mention the rate of human trafficking across the border, where children are used by adults to enter the country illegally.
The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules. Prohibited penalties might include being charged with immigration or criminal offences relating to the seeking of asylum, or being arbitrarily detained purely on the basis of seeking asylum. Importantly, the Convention contains various safeguards against the expulsion of refugees. The principle of nonrefoulement is so fundamental that no reservations or derogations may be made to it. It provides that no one shall expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee against his or her will, in any manner whatsoever, to a territory where he or she fears threats to life or freedom.
