There is no burden of proof to ask someone questions. And the last two years has shown you don’t have to meet any burden of proof or even evidence before you go fishing after possible crimes.
You can’t have it both ways, or shouldn’t.
Didn’t the Mueller find evidence of Russian attempts to interfere and weren’t indictments filed for more than a dozen Russians and wasn’t that the #1 instruction (crime) given to Mueller?

He is authorized to look for signs of interference by Russians and collusion between the Trump campaign and to go after any crimes found.
You are talking about after the fact indictments of Russians. Those indictments were not used to support beginning the investigation, obviously. There was no list of probable cause or reasonable suspicion or anything to back up supporting the investigation…or (ironically) to create a dossier? It was just go ahead and investigate and if you find any crimes, prosecute.
Now…we are supposed to have some sort of probable cause to stop people and ask questions at the border?
There is not “civil rights” credibility here.
Of course they’re after-the-fact indictments. His instructions were to investigate.
Blame Rosenstein I guess.

You complete me.
What a horrible judge of character.
And that was when he had good people to pick from. I don’t think there’s enough good people left to keep his cabinet filled If he make it two terms.
The certainly aren’t all legit asylees nor are they all waiting at ports of entry.
If we’re going to have a conversation at all let’s have an honest one.

I blame Trump for not firing Jeff Sessions as soon as he recused himself. He should have said he wanted a full time attorney general and Sessions wasn’t it.
Why do Illegals seem to have the same rights as Americans?
Why aren’t Democrats more worried about the privacy between
a Lawyer and their customer being broken?
I guess that those Rights don’t really matter?
Just think Americans! If you’re talking to your lawyer, there is no more secrecy,
and the Democrat Politicians can go to the lawyer and break laws, and get
information of what you told the lawyer about you!
is that what you consider human trafficking?
You are gonna have to come a long way in order to have an honest conversation about this.
Do you accept that the majority of these people are requesting asylum at the ports of entry? I’ll give you that “all” are not going to ports of entry. Let’s agree on what is a reasonable percentage of people are bypassing the ports and attempting to cross through the deserts or over the mountains.
The numbers would certainly show otherwise. Tens of thousands are crossing the border illegally and then presenting themselves to the BP claiming asylum.
Trump tried to put a stop to that with an EO saying that only those coming through legal ports of entry would be eligible and it was shut down by a single liberal judge who as I recall wasn’t even in a border state.
Right now the projections for the year are somewhere around 3x the previous record number of “families” attempting to enter the US claiming asylum. That would put us around 530,000-600,000 new cases in one year alone and until the border is secured that number is only going to grow.
There is no possibility of the courts every catching up and we’ll go from 5-7 years before cases can be fully litigated to more than a decade backlog in short order.
The nation cannot sustain that level much less the increase in illegal single males that will soon follow.
Immigration has been very good for this country but only controlled legal immigration that allows adequate time for the newly arrived to disperse, adapt, and assimilate.
As it stands the US accepts more legal immigrants every year than any other nation on earth. Add to that half a million or more illegals, the same number of “Asylees” and refugees and we’re at numberst that are completely unsustainable.
These points don’t even begin to address the costs they are burdening the taxpayers with from welfare, to healthcare, to social services and education.
The last thing this country needs is ti import more problems when we can’t even begin to adequately address the problems we already have.
Where was all this logic and commons sense 25 years ago.
And by the way he wasn’t hired to investigate the President.
Where is the bottleneck and how do you address that?
A wall doesn’t reduce the number of people seeking asylum. We will still have those people waiting to present themselves.
Of course it would since it would control the flow of those getting into the country to claim it.
It’s not a “bottleneck” it is a complete overwhelming of the system.
We lack the courts, the detention facilities, the judges, the ability to provide basic care, food, housing, health screenings and care where necessary for the volume coming in.
