WTH is wrong with people here???
Why do immigrants think their voice matters more than anyone else and include that as some qualification to speak on immigration policy? My family is a family of immigrants too. But so what?

Also Biden needs to close all legal entry points on the Texas border. Just shut it down and route everything through a normal state. It’s 280 billion in trade that could go to another state. Biden needs to wake up.
San Diego is completely overwhelmed right now. That other poster is right about asylum policies needing to change.

Yes, it is indeed.
This is what Biden, et al, want. Unabated illegal immigration.
Actions like this simply prove it.
The fifth circuit blocked it.
Ummm.....
Who sued so that Texas could not take this action?????
Ummm... Do you know anything about the Fifth Circuit? Anything at all?

DP...it allows the "texas authorities" to sweep up anyone who could be a migrant. ie anyone who looks Latino. Regardless of being a born American, a legal immigrant or someone who crossed illegally. IOW, no due process and it is the beginning of "brownshirts" basically.
Texas does not have the resources to do massive sweeps that you dream about. But according to the law they passed, if someone crosses they can be immediately returned to Mexico. There is no due process needed for jumping the border. Deporting people that are here illegally is righting a wrong.
What has happened is that Texas is filling a void that Biden created. Texas has been begging the Biden administration to get a handle on the invasion of illegal immigrants and has been ignored.
Biden didn't create this problem. We've been in need of immigration reform specific to migrants seeking to enter through our southern border for decades. Some policies that were put in place as short term fixes have been reversed or not extended in recent years and that has made the problem worse some of that blame may fall on the Biden Administration but we need to focus on long term solutions through comprehensive immigration reform. Per US Immigration Law, asylum seekers have to be present in the US in order to apply. This law needs to be changed to allow asylum seekers currently residing in North, Central, and South America (or anywhere in the world if feasible) to apply through US Embassies in their home countries. This would require a large investment in people and resources in those countries but no more of an investment than what the US taxpayer is currently facing with any solutions that involve speeding up the asylum application process and housing/supporting the migrants while they're here. Secure the border completely, stop allowing migrants seeking asylum into the country until their asylum claim is processed, and offset these
measures with investment abroad to allow for a proper, speedy, and humane process of granting or denying asylum to those that apply. There is no legitimate and humane long term solution that involves hundreds of thousands of people making long and dangerous journeys through our southern border to take advantage of our flawed and slow asylum process.

And mexico won’t accept deportations from Texas. So Texas would quickly move into the same “catch and release” system that they’ve been belly aching about.
I think the bolded bit is key here. Why are we not demanding better from Mexico? The influx is partly their fault.
