National Emergency

That would be a do-over. Our first immigration acts were draconian effects to eliminate virtually all Chinese immigration specifically, and try and get rid of all the Chinese immigrants who were already here.

The Page Act of 1875 basically prohibited Chinese women from immigrating to the U.S.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 essentially prohibited all Chinese from immigrating to the U.S. and went even further by making it illegal for Chinese nationals to become naturalized U.S. citizens, a ban which continued until the 1940s.

Other Asians were picked up by later legislation, culminating in the Asian Exclusion Act.

Borders do, and international airports are borders, complete with immigration, customs, and border control facilities.

There are over one hundred international airports in the U.S. (Not counting the ones in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.)


All of which have exactly the same duties and responsibilities as our border with Mexico.

The fact that they (sometimes individually) handle orders of magnitude more immigrants and refugees than the entire border with Mexico is one which you don't want to acknowledge, but that doesn't change it being a fact.

This shows up the alleged extent of your border "emergency" for the poor fabrication that it really is.

Sorry about that.

I've acknowledged it several times. I'll do it again. What happens at the airport has no bearing on what happens at the US border.

A statement which makes no sense at all in the context of international airports.

You are saying, "What happens at the U.S. border within the airport has no bearing on what happens at the US border.".

That's how silly you sound to everyone reading your responses.
 
Quadraginta has sufficiently decimated the would-be argument that was being proffered, as indicated by the single-word deflections and weird ad-homs that followed.

The problem is even Trump understands planes just fly over walls, so he can't secure them thar flying machine ports.
 
Hope the mods forgive me but I am going to post a large image.

Baylor, perhaps you might like to explain to the nice Border Control folks in this picture at LAX why they are NOT anything to do with US Border Control. They seem to think they are. ;)

Every airport is a component of the US border and therefore what happens there has a bearing on what happens at the US border in sum over any given interval. That's inescapable.

But this is the same situation at every international airport in the world. They all are border control points for the countries they are located in. The USA is no exception.

That Baylor seems to think they are not border control points, or at least the US international airports are not, suggests a significant and even alarming blank spot in his understanding of the issues of immigration and border security. It is almost like he has never been outside the USA, and thus has never experienced this. Most puzzling! :confused:

The topic of this thread is the emergency at the US-Mexico border, not airports.

So you sound like a pseudointellectual with all these stupid "gotchas."
