PALM BEACH, Florida (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump was reportedly “hopping mad” on Saturday after a surprise ice raid left his Mar-a-Lago retreat with no employees.

The ice agents conducting the pre-dawn raid swept through the opulent Palm Beach club and left guests with no one to prepare their food, wash their dishes, or clean their rooms.

When informed of the news, a furious Trump reportedly barked at his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his sons Eric and Donald, Jr., ordering them to hurry to Palm Beach and wait on tables.

A spokesman for Mar-a-Lago called the situation “dire,” warning that the resort had lost almost as many staff members as the White House.

That’s a column written by a COMEDIAN, and is an attempt at humor.

And you people have the nerve to blame RUSSIANS for disinformation. And the red state rubes for falling for it. Ugh

Um, you're the dumb one if you didn't see the word "humor" clearly written in the URL. I thought it was pretty funny. And most literate people know that David Borowitz writes satire.

Like most satire, it's funny, because there's a lot of truth there.

Still haven't heard what the answer is.

They keep saying that asylum seekers have a right to request it--and that they should be allowed to go through the system. So, they go through the system and the judge says they are not entitled to asylum. But, they don't leave.

We have hundreds of thousands coming across the border seeking asylum--what is the answer? If we must let them in and they are not entitled to asylum, what are we supposed to do? Unlock the doors and turn off the lights?

Ask Anne Frank her opinion. Oh wait you can't. The US denied her visa request.

The problem conservatives do not address is that CBP has essentially shut down the legal border entry points to asylum seekers. They are purposely slow rolling the processing of claims. They essentially tell the person presenting themselves legally “No you can’t apply. Go away.”

So when you say “Apply for asylum legally,” you are being disingenuous. The Trump Administration has effectively shut down the legal avenue. That’s why you are seeing illegal border crossings for asylum seekers spiking like crazy.

It’s a manufactured crisis. Just resume business-as-usual at legal points of entry (take their claim, get them in front of judge/case workers, make an administrative decision) and you’ll see the illegal crossings go down.

Further, allow asylum seekers to apply at embassies. This currently isnt allowed under US law.

and you KNOW this HOW?
I am a moderate Democrat and you are going to ruin the country with this BS

I know this from reports I’ve read on NYTimes, WaPo, Slate, listen to podcasts, etc with people providing legal aid and humanitarian assistance to asylum seekers. For example, at many Texan ports of entry the CBP essentially hands out lottery numbers. Then they have to stand at the crossing to see if they are lucky enough so their number is called. Many asylum seekers have been waiting for weeks just to plead their case to a CBP Officer. Even then, many of those officers just say “No” without letting the asylum seeker make their case to a judge or case worker. CBP processing of asylum requests have slowed to a virtual trickle.

So stop telling people to do it “the legal way.” It has purposely been slowed down by Trump. And it’s causing more crisis, more panic, and more illegal entries at the border. This Administration is not interested in helping people do it legally.

Let’s see if any conservatives can respond to your post full of common sense and humanity.

Slowed down? The CBP is busy taking care of all the people who are claiming asylum. That means they are claiming danger or persecution in their home countries. They did DNA testing last month--a third of the kids were not with family members.
Meanwhile, CBP is being demonized while they are trying to keep order--and drug dealers are still coming.

You don't like it, tell your reps to change the laws. If they think poverty is a reason to give asylum then pass a law that says that.

I agree with pp. You are misguided and drawing a pretty poor analogy.

When these migrants are facing possible extermination by a country due to who they are, then we can draw a comparison.
That is not what is happening now.

The analogy is fine.

Here is another analogy that works. It's in the poem "Home", by Warren Shire:

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well
your neighbors running faster than you
breath bloody in their throats
the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory
is holding a gun bigger than his body
you only leave home
when home won’t let you stay.

No arguing with stupid. You obviously know nothing about the Holocaust.

Okay, that made me LOL!

Are you kidding me? People leave home for all sorts of reasons. People immigrate to the US for school, for money, for love, for money, for a change of scenery (like my dad), for money, for better weather, and often times, for economic reasons.

And, yet, the vast majority of those coming will not meet the requirements for asylum. Because, their claims are bogus.
Economic security is not a reason. They need to stay in their countries and work to make their home a better place.

Actually, I do. It's actually you who seems to know nothing about the Holocaust.

Great liberal Franklin Roosevelt denied the visa request for many Jews. He and Churchill were as anxious as Hitler to get Jews out of their countries
Why else their push for Israel?
