[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal here:

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.[/quote]
and you KNOW this HOW?
I am a moderate Democrat and you are going to ruin the country with this BS[/quote]

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.[/quote]
