It stands out because it is very unusual. The vast vast vast majority of immigrants don't and wouldn't behave that way. These are mostly hard working people. I don't know the solution to this problem but lying about who these immigrants are and what they want is not it.

Almost all undocumented people want them deported too because it makes them look bad and because they are preyed upon and often aren’t willing to go to the police. I feel like sanctuary cities in terms of not cooperating with border patrol feeds into white liberal guilt or something.

I really can’t figure it out. My very large extended Latino family wants them deported ASAP. Perhaps because we still often listen to news from Latin America and release there are so many criminals fleeing to the US. Fir example in El Salvador the new president has instituted a severe and draconian crack down on gangs in El Salvador. If you are a gang member who brutalized your neighborhood, extorted business, raped so many teens and young women you are being rounded up and sent to a maximum security prison. 75,000 gang members have been arrested and the result is the murder rate was one if the highest in the world a few years ago of over 100 murders per 100,000 people down to 2.3.

So all the young men with gang tattoos from El Salvador coming to the US seeking asylum are really not who we want coming. El Salvador is now a very safe country so almost no one should be getting asylum from there.

Do you have a sure-fired way of vetting now?

What is a sure fire way of vetting? There are jerks that are born right here that would flip off the cops. That happened because those people are jack asses not because they are migrants.

If a migrant cannot be vetted, he/she should NOT be released into our country. Period.
And, this is about way more than the fact that he flipped off the cops. Not only did he arrogantly flip off the cops, but he was one of the gang that assaulted them first. And, some of those arrested had previous arrests. Why have they been allowed to stay in our country - at taxpayers expense - and not be locked up or deported?

In a post 9/11 world, of course those immigrating to the US should be vetted. That is a no-brainer. This being said, we should continue to welcome migrants from ALL parts of the world. Properly vetted immigrants from places such as Liberia, Bangladesh, and Moldova should be welcomed in proportionate numbers along with those that are from countries where it is geographically feasible to come here seeking a better life. Our failures to enact more appropriate immigration policy and our failures to enforce policies that are in place are long standing failures with no single politician or party being on the right side of the issue.

They should be welcomed LEGALLY.
The US should be the ones to determine who is welcomed here based on what is best for the US's interests.

No rational person would argue with this. Our laws pertaining to asylum seekers can make for some gray area in this regard but that's just one facet of our immigration system that needs to be updated and properly enforced.

I disagree with you regarding the bolded.

There are a plethora of comments here on DCUM condoning the act of entering our country illegally. Perhaps those people are not rational. If they aren't, there are sure a lot of them.
