I appreciate these debates. The FP showing that we CAN sit down and have these really hard discussions. Having said that, while I truly FEEL for those sitting in the panel who are in legal limbo in this country, we do not run this country on feelings. We run it on laws. Circumventing the laws is what has landed us in the chaos that we are living in now. It is legal to seek asylum, but what does that mean? These people are patently advocating for endless, eternal, open immigration. Why have a border? Why have laws? Every time the pro illegal immigration advocates and activists claim that undocumented immigrants do not qualify for tax funded, social services and other state and federal moneys, they know they are engaging in disingenuous and misleading rhetoric. They don’t, but most have children once established here, and this makes them eligible for 18 years. The ones that become eligible this way, do claim those rights. In addition, all those who request asylum qualify for both private and government stipends and in some states, mandated housing/ shelter. Thus, come up with better arguments to justify their stays, which rightfully or not, Americans are increasingly resenting especially in the wake of the rough economy and housing crisis. Finally, but important too, the Tijuana girl justifying her father’s crossing the border illegally over escaping violence was not completely honest (or maybe she’s genuinely unaware). It is very rare for the corrupted police or other violent organizations to randomly “kidnap” a man, especially in the time frame that this might have happened. If it does happen, the victim is either wealthy or a criminal. So which one was it. One allows you to freely and comfortably stay where you were, the other deserves none of my sympathy. I know this first hand as a Tijuana girl myself. 🤷🏻♀️
