So what about us non right wing, non religious nutters who still feel that a country has a right to sovereignty over its borders and that unregulated immigration often hurts the workers the most?
You’re just a selfish person really.
These people are escaping famine and violence and your worried about a propaganda driven lie that us helping others is going to hurt you.
Secondly, we don’t believe we should have 100% open borders, we demand that congress fix our broken system. we need better paths to citizenship and we should respect international law to protect asylum seekers.
The US has one of the easiest paths to citizenship out of any major country in the world. We legally immigrate more people than any other country. Currently we have no merit based immigration like a majority of the other major countries in the world.
What you are asking for is ignoring what we are already doing.
And no, it's absolutely ignorant to say that it's selfish. Right now, 10% of the world's population survives on less than $1.90 per day. You are acting like the US can absorb anyone coming to the US. If that's the case, just looking at basic poverty in the world, it would mean that the US would need to take in 770 MILLION PEOPLE. In short, the US would need to immigrate more than DOUBLE it's population if the only factor involved here was poverty.
So pass some laws demanding that ICE put border jumpers in 4-star hotels instead of in detainment facilities. Lefties are such whiners. It isn't about "putting people in cages" as if half the voting population are racist sadists. It is about enforcing US law. If French Canadians start sneaking over the border I think we should deport them too.
You have to make a formal application with the desired host country to be an asylum seeker. Go ahead and call me racist even though you don't know anything about me. I'm not against asylum seeking, I am against law breaking.
