But what about the strawberries? Who is going to pick up the strawberries? One or two raped girls on Martha's vineyard are not a big deal as long as they can get abortion in a timely manner. |

Now here is a perfect example of actual refugees, who have followed all our laws and come here LEGALLY.
The refugee-admissions program is a highly regulated system under which refugees living at camps across the globe can be nominated to come to the U.S., though they must undergo years of security and medical vetting before being allowed to move. It is entirely separate from the asylum system, which handles people after they have made it onto U.S. soil. Refugees Settling Into Home in Upstate New York: ‘We Need Them as Much as They Need Us’ |

As someone famously said... they are not sending their best.
And, on another note, how many chances do we give these illegal migrants who repeatedly break our laws??????? The undocumented noncitizen unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, and without being inspected, admitted or paroled by an immigration official. Baltimore police arrested and charged the Mexican national with driving on the highway without a license in April 2012. The District Court for Baltimore City convicted the noncitizen in September 2012 of driving on the highway without a license and assessed a fine of $165. BPD arrested the Mexican national again in September 2013 and charged him with driving on the highway without a license. Later that month, the District Court for Baltimore City convicted the Mexican national of driving on the highway without a license and sentenced him to 60 days in jail. In July 2018, the District Court of Baltimore City issued an arrest warrant for the Mexican national for the offenses of rape first degree, rape second degree, sex abuse of a minor: house/family, assault first degree, assault second degree, sex offense second degree, sex offense third degree, sex offense fourth degree, and sexual contact. ERO Charlotte arrested the noncitizen in October 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and served him a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. ERO Charlotte transferred the Mexican national to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office in Charlotte pursuant to an extradition request by the District Court of Maryland. ERO Charlotte lodged an immigration detainer on the noncitizen. In December 2018, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office extradited the Mexican national to Baltimore. The 8th Circuit Court for Baltimore City convicted the undocumented noncitizen of sex abuse minor: house/family in August 2021 and sentenced him to 25 years of confinement followed by five years of supervised probation. The court suspended 22 years and 4 months of the Mexican national’s sentence. The remaining charges were dismissed. The Baltimore City Jail transferred custody of the Mexican national to ERO Baltimore in August 2021. Later that day, ERO Baltimore transferred him to ERO Washington, D.C. due to lack of detention space. In September 2021, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Arlington, Virginia, ordered the noncitizen removed to Mexico. In October 2018, ERO Washington, D.C. removed him from the United States to Mexico via ICE Air Operations. The undocumented noncitizen unlawfully reentered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, and without being inspected, admitted or paroled by an immigration official. The Baltimore County Police Department issued the Mexican national a citation for trespassing on posted property Sept. 15, 2023. The arresting officer conducted a want/warrant check on the noncitizen, which returned positive. The officer contacted the Law Enforcement Support Center, which referred the case to ERO Baltimore for further investigation. https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ero-baltimore-arrests-mexican-national-convicted-sexual-abuse-maryland-minor |

| The US must control both its Southern border & its Northern border. Our border with Mexico is about 2,000 (1,993 miles) miles long; our border with Canada is over 5,000 (5,525 miles long) miles long. |

| Every time Democrats have proposed immigration reform legislation, the GOP shoots it down because it doesn't include public executions for minors or building the Great Wall Of Texas (and Arizona, and California). The truth of the matter is that immigration is far too valuable as a political sledgehammer to the GOP - they have absolutely no interest in fixing something with which they can scare their idiot base. |

Well, well - it looks like Democrats are finally realizing that asylum laws need to be tightened up (in a big way). Too bad it took blue cities being inundated with illegal immigrants to make them aware of what's been happening at the border for many years. And of course, progressive Democrats are probably not going to go for this - anything that smacks of too much common sense will never pass muster with that crowd.
For several weeks, a bipartisan group of senators has been trading proposals on changes to the asylum system. Unlike in previous efforts to reach a bipartisan immigration compromise, Democrats in the group haven’t conditioned their support for a deal on legalization for the population of immigrants living in the country illegally, such as the immigrants known as Dreamers who were brought to the country as children. Moderate Democrats and some of Biden’s top advisers in the White House believe that, with recent pleas for help from blue-state governors and mayors facing large migrant populations resettling in their cities, the politics on the issue have shifted. In the past few weeks, White House officials have quietly been reaching out to prominent immigration advocates to prepare them for compromises they might find unsavory. Republican lawmakers and White House officials have separately homed in on the change to the initial asylum screening standard as a key step to quickly weed out strong asylum claims—and deport those who don’t qualify. The current standard for asylum claims is an immigrant’s “credible fear” of persecution in their home country, which is seen roughly as any chance above 10%. Raising that bar and mandating more evidence from migrants would block more people from the asylum path. The idea was also included in an initial border proposal released by Republicans in early November, a sweeping opening-bid offer that largely mirrors a House GOP border bill known as H.R. 2 that passed the House in May. That measure includes other ideas such as continuing to build Trump’s border wall and forming safe-third-country agreements to send asylum seekers to other countries instead. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/senators-top-target-in-border-talks-tighter-asylum-rules-for-migrants-57a35a98?mod=Searchresults_pos1&page=1 |
