Geez. Yes he hired illegal immigrants. Now let's move on to solutions for this crisis of illegal immigration that both liberal leaning, illegal immigration supporting, prominent newspapers have acknowledged.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

Again no actual solutions. Just one off quips (that aren't clever)
Okay. Prosecute to the fullest every employer for hiring illegal immigrants. Now what is your solution to the crisis of 76k+ per month at the border?

Practice what you preach, honey. It's hard to take you seriously when you give your Dear Leader a pass on what you accuse Democrats of.

Fantastic. No ideas.

The president sn't my dear anything.

What great ideas do you have?

There is a lot we can do or at least try:
-Implementation of a safe third country agreement with Mexico
-Put judges on the border/have them conduct the initial interview instead of BP. Most fail to get asylum so if they make the initial interview more stringent we will spend less money for these people moving through an asylum system they will ultimately fail
-no release into the interior of the country while your case is being heard, no granting of work visas unless you are granted asylum
- if they have been released previously, have law enforcement check on them at the address listed. Chances are they are staying with their illegal aunt/uncle/cousin/sibling/parent
- drones, facial recognition at the border

And finally... a physical barrier to keep them out in the first place

- Mexico already offered them asylum. They refused and rushed the US border - watch the footage.
- Do you really think that those whose asylum claim was rejected will turn around and walk back to their country of origin? Really? No, they will go look for a hole in the fence and get in the US. Watch the footage.
- There are not enough facilities to keep them in. Thousands were released in Texas just <> a month ago. Watch the footage.

You know what your problem is?
You are assuming that you deal with law abiding people who respect the law of this country. They don't. They don't have any respect for the US law or for citizens of this country who have to pay for them. They don't respect YOU.

Agree with your last sentence. We need to keep them out in the first place.

If we had a safe third country with Mexico, it wouldnt matter if they turned down asylum in Mexico. Just the fact that they touched Mexican soil first would be all that is needed to send them back to Mexico or deport them home.

We do have enough space to hold them if build more facilities and utilize the ones we already have.

This problem needs more than one solution. They will crawl under or jump over the fence. We also need to be able to send them back quickly when they do that. Fine/Jail employers who knowingly hire them. Track people who come here on visas to ensure they leave. Expand facial recognition at airports and land crossings so that we know who is coming in and that they left. All these things need to happen, not just one thing

Correction to the posters above. The "Mexico offered them asylum but they refused" is not true. There were many journalists who looked into this, along with many lawyers who were trying to advocate on behalf of the migrants who found that the narrative and reality were worlds apart. The migrants were getting stonewalled by Mexican officials and could not get anywhere with the asylum process.

Not surprised.
Economic migrants are not eligible for asylum.
You are right. Liberal narrative of letting them all in and reality are worlds apart.

The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so. It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up. Instead we should be looking to help those countries. But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.

Nope, that "Mexico offered to take them in" narrative was utter and complete bullshit. Numerous reporters and others tried following up on that and even went with refugees as they tried getting visas and legal asylum in Mexico and saw that they were getting absolutely nowhere with Mexican officials. There were many reports on this, video accounts of their attempts to get papers, et cetera. Mexico was refusing them.

Even if so, why should we except hundreds of thousands of economic dead weight migrants who don't even speak that language that they need to get employed in the US?

Your great grandparents quite likely came to America as economic migrants unable to speak the language.

You missed. I am the first generation of my family living abroad. I came here legally loaded with high potential - high education, clean criminal record, no socially dangerous diseases.
An this is how it suppose to be.
And if my grandparents would be blessed to immigrate to this country they would not have a dime of freebies that ''refugees'' get plenty of these days. They would have survives on their own the best they could - just like millions of others who immigrated back in a day. You missed again.

Why is that so many fail to meet the requirements for asylum? If you want to let more millions in, do you really still expect to provide government programs to cover all of their needs? How exactly will that work?

Asylum is rightly a very narrow definition and should remain that way

But international law requires that we let everyone make their case, so they are coming. What we really need is more detention facilities and a rapid adjudication system. That will be more effective and more humane deterrent than a wall.

No, it doesn't. There has to be a documented knowledge of a military conflict or political/sex minority/religion minority oppression BEFORE asylum seekers are let in. That's how foreign countries' citizens get asylum quotas.
Otherwise the whole world will be here claiming asylum and living in the US until their case is processed.

Uh yeah, it's called politics. Did you expect Democrats to play nice after the Republicans and their enablers spent the last 10 years pursuing their conspiracy theories like Benghazi. When you're incompetent, a compulsive liar, and most people hate you, it's hard to get what you want. I'm an independent (former R), and can't believe that 40% of Americans approve of Fox news and this idiot.

The vast majority of people entering illegally do so at points of entry or get caught nearby. Very few actually cross successfully unnoticed. At least this is what I've heard from advocates and providers working in south Texas in the immigration advocacy community for the last two decades. So, why invest in a wall that isn't needed?

This makes no sense. The illegal entry goes down where there is a wall. They tell us most illegal DRUGS come through the ports of entry--but, not people.

Yeah because we are the wall. It's much easier to be gracious and pretend to be open to all refugees when you have a safe third country agreement with your only neighbor who happens to be just as prosperous as you are. You'll notice that as soon as Haitian refugees started flooding their border once Trump was elected, Canada started sending dignitaries to Florida and other Haitian communities in the US to persuade them not to come to Canada. If Canada bordered Mexico they'd probably have a wall already.
