Will Democrats ever concede on immigration?

[Emily's Cat]

But it's not illegal to apply for asylum. None of those people have a visa.

Asylum seekers should be housed in relatively self-contained areas while awaiting a determination. Let's make "Asylum Cities", they can have basic housing, cafeterias, convenience stores, heck even some entertainment. But controlled access, and they don't get to just wander at will through the US until they're cases are determined to be legitimate asylum. Once a legitimate asylum is determined, those families should be distributed pretty evenly throughout the entire US, not concentrated in grouped areas. Assimilation is important, and setting up ethnically homogenous clusters prevents that.

Sort of a ghetto?

Really? Have you seen who your president is? That ship has sailed.

Isn't he the guy actually enforcing immigration law?

In the same way these guys are enforcing "printer maintenance", sure.

That's to say, not very effectively and they're doing more damage than good.

I dunno. The numbers suggest otherwise. But I'll end the derail.

In camps. With barbed wire fences. And searchlight towers. With armed guards.

It'll be fun!

What numbers? Also, how is this a derail? It's about immigration.

What numbers are you using to suggest that this whole thing is a net positive for America? Be specific. You made a claim, back it up.

Illegal crossings along U.S.-Mexico border plummet to lowest annual level since 1970

Illegal crossings along U.S.-Mexico border plummet to lowest annual level since 1970

And that's the only metric we're using? Not cost? Not innocent human lives ended? Not how many American citizens have been picked up and terrorized? Not the impact it's having on our economy? Just that the border crossings are lower?

I don't understand how that makes America better when we're in the situation we're in. Prices are skyrocketing, but it ain't because of immigration, is it? Doing all this ◊◊◊◊ is actually making our lives MORE expensive, but I forget you're a racist so the only metric that matters to you is "less brown people". Literally the definition of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

And dogs! No....wait...they'd only eat them. Nevermind!
