Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

You original statement was "it is not illegal to cross the border and ask for asylum." Why do you keep on talking about asylum? Is it illegal to cross the border without permission? Of course it is.

"Defined under 8 U.S. Code § 1325, improper entry occurs when an individual enters, or even attempts to enter, the U.S. at a time or place that isn’t designated by immigration officers, avoids being inspected by immigration officers, or uses willfully untrue or misleading information in order to enter the U.S. under false pretenses."

Applying for asylum is a separate issue. If it is illegal to do one then it illegal to do both. You are trying to separate the two.

Any questions Agip?

most of the problem here is the hundreds of thousands of people crossing and asking for asylum. That's created a backlog of over a million cases that the US is legally required to judge on. Which is why the immigrants are allowed to stay. They are legally required to be allowed to stay.

The change has been that many/most ask for asylum. they've learned that is a trick to be allowed to stay. They didn't used to ask for asylum, but they learned.

it's all the same issue, sally. It's not separate. Asylum is the crisis.
CNN:
Nearly 1.6 million asylum applications are pending in US immigration courts and at US Citizenship and Immigration Services – the largest number of pending asylum cases on record, according to analysis of federal data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

Then Biden goes and grants TPS to a half a million Venezuelans, and lo and behold a bunch more show up the next day. He’s put out the welcome mat, which is why so many more have come during Biden’s tenure than under Trump’s. He isn’t turning away anyone (99.97% are being allowed in).

New Records Show Biden’s DHS Accepting 99.97 Percent of Recent Aliens Applying for Entry Using CBP One

DHS vetting resulted in only 698 rejections out of 225,000 invited to cross the border into the United States, according to new records obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies through ongoing FOIA litigation.

He’s on track to have almost as many in a year as Trump had in four years.

The problem is your source.

The Center for Immigration Studies is an anti-immigrant think tank.

A country isn't a country if it doesn't have a border. Basically everyone at last night's debate said that, and they're completely correct.

Why should we allow millions of unskilled economic migrants to pour across the border? Why can't we be more like Canada and only have talented immigration while also securing the southern border?

A couple of professors of mine in college (from a wide range of countries: Korea, Russia, Uruguay, etc) had to wait a very long time to get citizenship while the unskilled illegals are basically getting it as soon as they arrive: the work permits are setting the stage for them to be fast-tracked to a green card. Since when is a PhD less valuable than an illegal migrant who'll live off welfare?

Demonstrate where their assertion is incorrect.

Lebanese are VERY low IQ. It shows.

please address the asylum issue. If you do not, you are just blowing smoke.

btw, there is some interesting research that suggests letting highly educated people in as immigrants isn't very useful. Because they have money but no connections and often little english. So they basically retire, instead of the shame of taking work at a lower level of salary and much less prestige.

whereas if you let in a poor guy from Venezuela...dude is going to work very hard his whole life and be a productive citizen.

interesting counter-intuitive finding.

You’re not an immigration lawyer I take it 😂😂😂😂

Is it illegal to cross the border without permission and kill a border guard while crossing and then afterwards seek asylum?

LOLz at the R debates... did you catch Pence mentioning he sleeps with his wife? Clown show, and it'll be much worse when the biggest clown of all rejoins the circus. Are they trying NOT to beat Biden? lol

the GOP war against law enforcement and the military continues.

The Republican-led House voted on Wednesday to reduce the salary of Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III to $1, as right-wing lawmakers tried to transform a Pentagon spending bill and a series of other funding measures into weapons to take aim at President Biden, his agenda and his top officials.

The SPLC referred to Maajid Nawaz as an "anti-Muslim extremist" and Ben Carson as a "white supremacist". They are a complete joke.

Pence seems gay. His response just seemed like it

Lloyd Austin is vastly overpaid at $1 per year.

Good DOG, you are stup!d !

You actually typed that.
Have you ANY idea how stupid you sound to people who know about this issue?
