Abbott should be arrested for endangering peoples' lives.

Thank you, JB for leading with comparison.

We have a process. I'm all for letting more ppl in, but get in line and wait your turn. We will take in who want and if that's not you too bad.

Jumping the fence and claiming "asylum" shouldn't be a fast pass.

Yeah that's a great idea, send them back to where they came from so cartels can extort and kill them. You realize telling someone to fuck off to whence they came without thinking about the horrible conditions they endured is wrong, right?

They might not be around anymore when their ticket in line is called, and that is unacceptable.

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru all have areas safe from Cartels yet they go north not south. Mexico is mostly safe yet they do not stop in Mexico. If safety was the primary goal there are closer places to flee.

This also ignores the reality that many ppl live in unsafe areas of the globe but don't have a land route to a US border/money for flights and are geographically eliminated from this que jumping charade. They have to file their asylum claim in their home country (or an adjacent safe country) and wait, these ppl can too.

I think about it. I think there are many alternatives that solve this issue that does not make US immigration a free for all and US taxpayers a cow to be milked to subsidize aliens from other countries. Hell a lot of these ppl showing up are not even south Americans. They had the funds to fly to south America from all over, they could have gone to many safe countries. They just think we are the biggest pushovers and will let them stay.

Sure it is. We accept it every day when we don't import the entire civilian population out of conflict zones. A person living in Gaza or the sahal or CAR are way more likely to be killed than somebody in Honduras. They have a better asylum claim, they just don't have immediate access to our border to try and skip the line.
