    We need way more judges who can decide these cases more quickly. Why won’t congress act?

    The flaw in basing this on income is that ignores the cost of living in places like California and New York City. I couldn’t buy much of a house in California based on my income alone. Ditto for New York City. A co-op in the New York City, which is smaller than the apartment my late in-laws had a rest home in Florida, costs over $1 million plus a hefty monthly fee. The poverty rate for people in those ares is under measured. A $100 thousand annual income in Florida is worth more than the same income in New York City.

    People on Fox News say a bottle of ketchup say a bottle costs $8 in Manhattan. I don’t know if that’s truth or hype, but if it’s the truth, that’s a minor example. They talk about $30 pizzas too.

    Reinstitute the 60 executive orders Biden repealed that Trump used to control the border. Build the wall. The money was appropriated and the materials were delivered, but Biden let it rust and sold it for scrap. Biden took office with the situation at a level of control. He reversed it all because it was Trump policy.

    Texas is getting the situation under control, but the Biden administration has fought the state in court at every turn.

    The Biden administration does not want to control the border. That is obvious.

    How about kicking those who don’t show up for their court date out of the country as soon as they are apprehended? Naa, we don’t want to do that because they’ll vote Democrat, even before they become citizens.

    How about outlawing sanctuary cites and states which prevents ICE from deporting criminals instantly?

    Personally, I think this is great because every Illegal immigrant in American now wants to leave Texas and head to New York to get free money without any I.D. I am thinking of doing this myself! If Adams thought he had a migrant problem now, lets see how this slows the influx!!!

    If there was some other way to interpret that when I’m talking about applying for asylum at a legal port of entry, then please share it.
    And btw I’m not confident the cartel accepts food as payment.

    "We can't understand why these migrants are flooding the border! It's not like our policies and statements are encouraging it! It's all Trumps fault!"

    According to Mello, every single one of these people is a legal asylum seeker.

    So I did not "literally" say that any travel in cartel territory benefits them. I did "literally" teach my 5 kids not to use the word "literally" improperly.

    While not all travel benefits the cartels, those you call asylum seekers (The artists formerly known as illegal immigrants) are at their mercy. Food and medical benefits incentivize illegal immigration and allows more cash to flow back to the cartels. Paying for their food leaves more cash left over to pay their debt.

    First of all, why? Why is it on us to allow these people to flood in in the first place? We should have a system where people apply from their home country, and we'll look over their paperwork, then decide whether or not we need them to come here or not.
    This country needs to get away from these 'savior' complex policies, and only let in people who will improve the country, and not always take from it!

    Please, get hold of your emotions and allow logic to guide you instead of your 'feelings'!

    He's a Democrat, and Democrats want open-borders, and the entire third-world to flood in. It's the quickest way they can create the world-largest socialist country.

    The price is high because of taxes, regulations and Bidenflation.

    Employed people who contribute by paying taxes are supporting people who don't contribute.

    NYC migrant families could make up to $15K per year under controversial $53M pre-paid credit card program

    A family of four migrants with two children under age 17 will get $15,200 a year under the Big Apple’s controversial new $53 million program to dole out pre-paid credit cards to asylum seekers, The Post has learned.

    I think it's $53 million dollars of taxpayer money going to people who didn't pay taxes.

    100% bullshit. But thanks for showing you're racism.

    Those of us who oppose the massive invasion of illegals would be just as opposed to it if they were white as snow.

    Unless you'd like to prove that we'd have a different attitude were they a different color.....which you can't so you're doing nothing more than playing the race card like a good obedient lefty.

    Uhh no, that's not how that works, you can look it up yourself, a "rebuttable presumption" is a legal terminology that presumes something to be true unless proven otherwise. Also the burden of proof would be on the person making the request for asylum, and not DHS, Border Patrol, or any of the US federal agencies. In other words, they(the migrant making the request for asylum) need to provide proof that they A. Did not enter the country illegally through the southern border or adjacent sea, and B. Applied for asylum status in the country they traveled through to reach the US. If they cannot provide said proof, then their request for asylum is not accepted

    https://whlawoffices.com/blog/what-is-a-rebuttable-presumption/

    Personally, I find your level of rational gymnastics astounding, when you can so easily look the subject up and see for yourself that we are not currently accepting requests for asylum from people who cross into the US from the southern border illegally, and haven't been for some time now. As for the date range, it literally started in May of 2023 and remains in effect to this day. The policy has been challenged in court multiple times, but still remains the current policy.
