The hypocrisy of Mexico as it allows its people to flow illegally into our country, and its rancor with Trump for enforcing U.S. immigration law, is unreal. In Mexico, it is a FELONY to enter the country illegally, and anyone who helps an illegal alien is a criminal themselves. Furthermore, Mexico requires immigrants to be "useful to the country" and have the ability to support themselves and their families - and can imprison anyone deportee sneaking back in (even once) for 10 years.

Huh? That wasn't the point. The point was that the earlier immigrations to which the other PP referred entered the country legally, in compliance with U.S. law. (And even though Ellis Island was a crazy zoo of activity, for most people it was a couple hours and then you were standing firm Lower Manhattan.) |
Yes, but the dopey Trump supporters ate up all of the fake news and it’s a huge priority for them. How can there be so many stupid people in the US? It’s really mind-blowing. |
+1 Liberals are breathtakingly simple minded. |
Agree. Their grasp on things are unbelievably simplistic. I remember arguing about Obamacare: Their mantra was "it's good for everyone to have insurance. Why wouldn't you want that?" and MY response was that it was impossible to 1) insure a greater number of people, 2) require insurance companies to provide more extensive coverage, and 3) have it all cheaper. Just as one example. |
Wow, it seems like US could learn a thing or two from Mexican immigration policies! |
Right? Enact strict policies like this and the migrants will head straight to the Canadian border. Smart. |
Are NoVa liberals okay with the horde flooding the schools? They already destroyed several Fairfax County schools by making the standardized test scores plummet. |
Awwww poor Cameron and Chloe ![]() |
They're planning on turning themselves in to ask for asylum. That's hardly "sneaking." Have you actually talked to any of them? Or listened to reporters' interviews with any of them? Heartbreaking stories of murder and rape and threats and traumatized children. But when you have no heart then it can't be broken. So good on you for your callousness toward fellow human beings. |
Actually securing the border would help fight the opiod crisis. 95% of heroin consumed in the US comes from Mexico. Stronger border security would aid in cutting the supply chain. And the drug cartels are not imagined boogeyman. There is a real enemy south of us. Yes, many are families fleeing for a better life but you would be burying your head in the sand not to acknowledge the level of crime that crosses the border as well. |
I feel very sorry for these people. I truly do. But in all honesty what exactly do you propose we do? Would you propose letting anyone into the US who has heartbreaking stories of murder, rape and threats of traumatized children? Because that is happening all over the world. |
+1 If they qualify for asylum under the existing laws of the country, then they should receive asylum. Those are the rules. Acting like the Mongols are coming, when it's really 1,000 poor women and children, is just fearmongering. |
From what I know about asylum, you're supposed to turn yourself in to the first safe country you enter. Country-shopping isn't the point of asylum. If that's true, the fact that they traversed Mexico without turning themselves in will speak against them. |
Turning a blind eye to the suffering of people is not what Great America about. We certainly can be as bad as Saudi Arabia - but I hope that's not our ideal. |
