[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?[/quote]

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

You really are misguided.[/quote]

DP.  How is that misguided?  Because it doesn't fit your narrative?[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]
