[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send all 4,000 to Takoma Park.  Let’s see if all those yard signs are really how people feel.[/quote]

This!!!!  Except hopefully it’s closer to 10,000 in a few weeks.  Keep them coming.  3.5 million have crossed the border.  It’s laughable that someone cares about 4,000 out of 3.5 million.  [/quote]

What is your solution to asylum seekers?[/quote]

NP but if they are from Mexico then we follow the asylum laws.  If they are from a different country and passed through Mexico or other countries before coming here then we follow the law and send them back to the first country they entered and have them apply for asylum there.[/quote]

Except you're going to have to change the laws first.  In some cases we cannot kick them out without giving them a hearing first.  And we can't give them hearings because there aren't enough judges to hear their cases.  And that leads to a massive backlog in cases.  Which means we can't do anything for months, or even a year or two.  And we also don't have enough places to put them while awaiting their hearings.  So they get turned loose and told to come back when their hearing comes up.

Republicans won't authorize or fund more judges to clear the backlog.  Probably because they think it will just speed up entry of foreigners.  Nor will they fund facilities to house them until their hearings come up because that's "free shit for illegals."  But they also won't do anything to change any of the laws that put us in this conundrum in the first place.

So there we are.[/quote]
