Why did the Democrats consistently lie about the border?

[Eagle-Keeper]

Not what I asked, nice dodge. Also, does it bother you at all that the Democrats consistently lied about the border for the past four years?

[Nemesis]

Logical but nothing legally binding.

There is nothing stopping a US citizen claiming asylum in another country. It would be up to the receiving country to determine if the claim is true.

Interestingly enough A small number of US citizens have been granted asylum in the UK.

Hundreds of US citizens apply for asylum in UK with one in seven claims granted

[Eagle-Keeper]

I’ve made this observation numerous times that asylum is an inherently subjective process as is based upon someone’s claims none of which can be empirically verified. Regarding US citizens seeking asylum elsewhere the fact is everyone of them could be rejected outright. Here’s why:

The grounds upon which a person can claim asylum are narrow. Criteria for who may claim asylum vary by country, but generally the United States is not considered dangerous enough to warrant asylum.

The United States makes for an interesting case because persecution does not exist equally across the country. Someone can move between states and find different levels of legal and social acceptance. Given the patchwork, most American asylum claims fail.

Noted you say “give then a decent life”.

You did not answer the question…I will make it more clear
What countries do they pass, that will give them a fighting chance to live a better life than where they left??

[Axxowiz]

We can only hope they run on that platform again (all are welcome no documentation needed) and add a dash of wokeness in it.

If they haven’t learned by now they won’t, and the illegals they have let in are turned off by woke politics.

@Eagle-Keeper

God knows how many countries they were passing over to get to the US.

That is a good point…but it is fairly obvious why they choose the USA. There are more opportunities here then other countries. This is something that we used to be proud of.
We need the influx of people coming here…we just need to streamline the process along with making sure those with sketchy backgrounds (Felony level) are not allowed to get in.

Why have we not done that? Why do we not prosecute those employers that hire the ones that are not vetted?

[WuWei]

Not the criteria.

What countries do they pass

There were people coming from nearly 200 ■■■■■■■ countries showing up at the border seeking asylum. God knows how many countries they were passing over to get to the US.

Their own for one.

Good.

@Smyrna

We already see. Your lib, non-law abiding mindset is responsible for millions, upon millions, upon millions of illegal aliens illegally crossing over into the US. That stupidity is costing this nation hundreds of billions of dollars “we the people” do not have.

It is estimated about $25 billion comes into SS coffers from undocumented workers.
Then there is the billions of dollars those same workers pay in state and local taxes.

Here is an idea…insist pubs and dems craft an immigration law that actually works?

@JayJay

Can we see your detailed calculations of this “hundreds of billions of dollars” in additional costs?

And of course you have weighed in ALL the factors you need to weigh in order to come up with accurate “cost figures”, right?

I hope it is t from the DOGE website…

You don’t care about the truth and I don’t even know why I’m responding.

What a shocker that a far right anti-immigration hate group would come up with big numbers for costs.

Meanwhile all the undocumented who work pay into Social Security and Medicare but can never collect either.

Opportunity is not a criteria for asylum.

That’s a hoot, Trump acolytes concerned about lying.

If they’re working, they give made up SSNs (because they don’t have real ones), and their employers withhold FICA taxes (because that’s the law). Because they don’t have real SSNs, there’s no way for them to collect. It’s free money for Uncle Sam.

[WuWei]

Mmmmmm. So you’re guessing?

[Steel-W0LF]

Or they are paid under the table and contribute nothing, and drain public resources.
