I wonder how long it’ll take both sides to figure out that this issue has been going on for decades,? The immigration system is so broken it’d blow most peoples minds. nobody’s facing the real fact. We’re creating our own problem. Part of the problem is the immigration system is broken , it should be streamlined to make it easier to figure who shouldn’t should be here.
The other part of the problem is we allow weaponry to go to Central and South America which arms the cartels. They use the weapons to fight wars amongst themselves and threaten the populace. The cartels make the drugs, which are sent to the US which we buy which creates a bigger problem. So now the people in those countries flee here. Then we refuse to acknowledge on why they’re even fleeing to begin with.
Really should be stream lined. Problem is we can only reasonably take a tenth or less of who wants to immigrate, and the illegals just claim asylum when they get caught
Targeted and legitimate threats against their life. Right now, there are 1.6 million pending asylum claims, it's being heavily abused.
And while it's a nice poem, it does not work in real life when everyone north of the Darian Gap wants in.
Edit: Source on the 1.6 million claim. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/26/us/asylum-backlog-highest-record/index.html#:~:text=US%20immigration%20courts%20have%20seen%20an%20over%20seven-fold,backlog%20grew%20to%20over%20750%2C000%2C%20per%20the%20clearinghouse.
1.6 million of them? If 1.6 million people are being individually targeted, the problem won't be solved with asylum.
