Thank you border czar

... Let's NOT get silly there, mates.

Rather obvious that Dear John means ILLEGALLY crossing the border.

But we can all thank Border Czar Kamala for NOT closing the
border and allowing the illegal migrant surge...

That’s a question that I would like answered. What laws are actually being broken if someone crosses the border from Canada or Mexico into the United States? Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Well, they better do something soon before our not so popular and mostly unwanted guests get wind of this. Believe it or not, most of these folks mean us no harm and just want to work. And we have plenty of jobs for them to fill... and yeah yeah yeah, I know the number is not 100% accurate, MAGAs.

I stand by my comment, so get off your high horse. Those who do everything they can to get here legally aren't criminals, but those not coming in properly is a criminal and is breaking the law. Which makes biden/harris/myorkas a part of a conspiracy to bypass established laws to get into our country illegally. You might as well call them mules because that's what they are.

I would agree if you changed your statement to "Every person who illegally crossed the border is a criminal. Period and end of story."

Those that crossed the border seeking asylum and are here awaiting their hearings are NOT criminals. Those that entered the country under temporary provisions, such as the Haitians in Ohio, are NOT criminals.

I agree with you but that is not what John said.

The folks guilty of misdemeanors or felonies under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1325 and 1326 are criminals.

1325 is illegal entry. 1326 is illegal re-entry.

No wiggle room in that statement.

I had relatives/ancestors who crossed the border to seek refuge in America. I’m pretty sure most of us did.

According to John, they were/are all criminals.

Sure, some are criminals, but the vast majority are not. The same as what we will always have here with or without them.

Trump isn't the only MAGA spreading hysteria this election cycle.

FACT IS, Trump/Vance are now losing on the economy and inflation, so the anti-immigrant fascist hate rhetoric is increasing, circa early 20th Century Europe.

We see the comments right here and in this thread.

My forebears most certainly were NOT criminals when they arrived in this country,

your forebears didn't sneak in. neither did mine.

losing on the economy? you can show polling on that, yeah?

anti-immigrant is nonsense. it's anti-illegal entry .. there's a difference despite what the Democrats claim and want.


let's also mention that both US and International law requires people seeking asylum to apply at the first safe haven they reach .. not on purpose keep gong till they reach America.


half of these people at a minimum will never qualify for asylum. some of them know they won't because they know they have criminal records and some have been denied asylum already. they aren't allowed to apply again at all in many cases and at best must wait a period of years before they apply again.

any of these people applying again when they know don't qualify are lying on the asylum application. that alone makes them criminals.
