• The manifesto

    From Dale Shipp@1:261/1466 to Tim Richardson on Tue Aug 13 03:50:02 2019

    For one thing the guy's so-called `manifesto' runs all over the place.
    It defines no clear, direct political side; either democrat OR
    republican!

    If you have a copy of the manifesto, I would like to see a link to it.
    I have not been able to find it. I have only seen reporting about it.

    He doesn't just target `hispanics' he also targets `average
    Americans'. He also calls for a `decrease in the general American population' without stating which part of the `American population'
    should be `decreased'.

    Please post where he says that. What I read is a quote from the
    introduction that says "this attack is a response to the Hispanic
    invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply
    defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by
    an invasion."

    He called for `universal healthcare' and `universal income'; both of
    which are liberal socialist democrat issues! (Surprise!) But you didn't see any leftie media mention THOSE points.

    Again -- post as to where he said such. I'd like to see it if he in
    fact said that.

    They would LOVE to tie Trump into one or both shooters, but it doesn't work!

    All that is being said is that the El Paso shooter is echoing things
    which Trump has said repeatedly.

    BTW...did you know he tied his `manifesto' to the environment by
    naming it (get ready) "The Inconvenient Truth"! (Shades of Al Gore!)

    I doubt that -- he named it "The inconvenient Truth" but anything else associating his manifesto to the environment must have come out of Fox
    News.

    There's more of a `democrat' leaning to it than republican..

    Neither. It is a leaning to white nationalism which is not part of
    either party doctrine -- although Trump seems to go out of his way to
    excuse or encourage such sentiments for his own political gain.

    the US, the fact of the matter is that the hispanics were here before the
    USA existed. Most of the southwestern US states are former
    states/provinces of Mexico - northern California being a significant
    exception, it's a former colony of imperial Russia, as was Alaska.

    "If 'illegals' are freeloaders, why does ICE raid workplaces? (and why
    aren't employers charged?)"

    Different rules for different folks.

    For example, the other day, ICE arrested and detained 680 undocumented immigrants. But the employers remained open for business, not having
    been found of any wrongdoing. Why the difference?

    Those who were working at those places were not able to show they
    were here legally, and were thus detained. The employers may have
    had papers given to them by undocumented immigrants that were fake.
    Had the employer made fake documents for its employees who were not
    US citizens, then ICE would have had grounds. But how is ICE able
    to determine who created the fake documents?

    The laws dealing with this were passed before the digital revolution.
    They need to be upgraded. But nothing can be done due to the stupid ideological warfare between the two camps in DC.

    They're taking the free ride when it comes to paying for visas and/or overstaying their visit. That occurs while all other humans on the planet are working for extremely low wages, trying to save up for lawful immigration to the US. Freeloaders: they enter for free.

    what ""free ride""?? they're working aren't they? that makes them not freeloaders...

    and if the companies know their employees' status, why aren't they being charged? they should be easily capable of keeping up with an expiration date and let their employees know that it is coming up... they should also be able to use that date to refuse those employees access to the workplace to work but should still allow them access to the pay they are owed for their work...

    That occurs while all other humans on the planet are working for
    extremely low wages,

    are you saying that freeloaders make more than others?
    are you saying that immigrants are willing to accept lower pay than others?

    trying to save up for lawful immigration to the US. Freeloaders: they enter for free.

    no one said anything about how they entered... remember, too, that they have a year to apply *after* they have entered the country NO MATTER HOW they entered...

    What about those who marry a US citizen to get here?
    Are they also `freeloaders', as you suggest?

    What about foreign students who marry US students at university?
    Are they also `freeloaders', as you suggest?

    The US has funny rules. If foreigner marries US citizen he/she
    meets in US, it is marriage scam and foreigner is sent back to where
    he/she came from. But if foreigner is student who meets US student
    at university, that is not marriage scam and foreigner allowed to
    stay with US mate as valid married couple.

    So. Who are `freeloaders' - and are who are not?

    That's not free; they have plenty fees to pay to legally migrate to the USA with their new spouse. So no - those who marry a US citizen to get here are

    Nope! Those are people who are paying the fees. They're not freeloaders
    either.

    People who lack the integrity to enter the USA through one of the many ports
    of entry are freeloaders.

    (Sigh!)


    Nobody is *afraid* of letting Hispanics or any others `into the USA'!


    I love how the lefties try to feign blindness or ignorance to the facts. Its interesting to note lefties getting up in front of cameras and microphones and stating `their' version of "...we are a country/nation/system of laws!"... but then declaring a city or state....or a municipality a `sancuary'place.


    In the recently-executed crackdown on illegals holding employment here in the US (illegally)....various `lefties' pre-warned illegals of the impending
    raids.


    What the lefties who did that (and the lefties who inhabit the Fido echoes)
    are either failing to see, or are deliberately ignoring, that amounts to `aiding and abeting in criminality'!


    Firstly....there were laws passed some time ago against employers knowingly hiring or employing `illegal' aliens. When was the last time anyone heard of
    an employer being prosecuted to the full extent of `the law' for that offense?


    Secondly....any politicians who pre-warned anyone of pending ICE raids on
    their place of business or other location...are guilty of aiding and abeting those who are committing crimes.


    Before one of the lefties in here goes off on a rant about it;


    Entering the US without coming through one of the ports of entry, with the intent to thwart the procedure set up for lawful entry into the US...is a crime!


    Taking employment in the US without a lawfully obtained permission to work here...is a crime!


    Any person who warns of an impending ICE raid for the purpose of enforcing US immigration laws, is aiding and abetting criminals.


    We are a system of laws!


    When leftie wants to make points with those they think will aid them in their greatest endeavor (gaining all the power they possibly can)....they will go to any lengths; pretend we have no border laws....ignore the 12 million or so
    `law breakers' we have running around the country.....even go so far as to do everything they can to thwart the lawful enforcement of our laws.


    But when its to `their' public image advantage....they fall all over each
    other to get to a mic in front of a camera and spout that old standby `we are
    a country/system of laws'!


    Lefties don't give a shit about the number of jobs Americans need that are being held by `illegal aliens'. A vast majority of the large companies
    illegals are working for contribute to `democrats' or republicans who may as well BE democrats (for all the use they are).

    That's not free; they have plenty fees to pay to legally migrate to the USA >with their new spouse. So no - those who marry a US citizen to get here are >not freeloaders.

    If a US citizen meets a foreign citizen in the US, and marries
    that individual, it would be deemed a sham marriage. However, if
    a US citizen meets a foreign citizen outside of the US, and marries
    that inividua, it would not be deemed a sham marriage. The reason
    for this is because the foreign citizen is viewed as having come
    here in order to obtain citizenship in an underhanded way.

    What about foreign students who marry US students at university?
    Are they also `freeloaders', as you suggest?

    Nope! Those are people who are paying the fees. They're not freeloaders >either.

    If a US citizen meets a foreign citizen in the US at a university,
    then why is that not viewed in the same light as if a US citizen meets
    a foreign citizen in the US? Are you saying that all a foreign citizen
    has to do in order to obtain US citizenship is become a student at at
    US college or university and marry a US citizen who is also a student?

    People who lack the integrity to enter the USA through one of the many ports
    of entry are freeloaders.

    It has nothing to do with entering ports of entry.

    A US citizen who marries a foreign citizen in the US is viewed as
    a sham marriage, the foreign citizen being sent back to wherever he/she
    came from.

    If both the US citizen and foreign citizen are students at a US
    college or university, and get married, their marriage is viewed
    as valid and the foreign citizen can stay, going on to become a
    US citizen himself/herself.

    In fact, two foreign students can marry at a US college or university,
    have a kid who is a US citizen, then fly back home and await their turn
    to come back.

    And to think that kid almost became president.

    Piyush "Bobby" Jindal. Grew up to become Governor of Louisiana.
    Would have been president, had it not been for Donald J. Trump.

    They are committing crimes. And those who enter again and again the same
    way are `knowingly' committing multiple crimes.


    I've noticed the harder Trump tries to enforce our border, enforce our immigration law (which many *democrats* voted for and helped pass!), the
    harder he tries to rid the country of those here illegally......the more the democrats (and some republicans) do to stall it.


    Thats gonna be a real big factor in November, 2020.

    Tim, are you using a QWK reader or something?


    Yeah...I probably didn't bring up the name I meant that remark for.


    Mark said "if they're knowingly doing wrong they should be charged,"


    Illegal aliens definitely *know* there is a system in place to legally enter this country, or apply for entry. So does the Congress.


    The BIGGEST problem is we have had presidents, and still have members of both houses of Congress, who will NOT enforce our laws.


    It is the height of hypocrisy when you see politicians in front of microphones with cameras rolling saying things like; `we are a country of laws'! `We are
    a system of laws'!



    how can illegal aliens be expected to know the laws here when they entered AT>illegally? When I illegally enter countries, I don't usually study their AT>legal system extensively while planning my trip. :)



    We have a system of laws that govern the *legal* application for entry; also for immigration; and rules and procedures for applying for assylum here.


    Sneaking in across a desert area, climbing over a fence, mobbing a border station and running into the country, then scattering in all directions, is
    not part of the lawful procedure. Nor is defrauding the system by using children not even related to those arriving in order to gain entry. That is also `illegal'.


    Laws were passed quite a few presidents ago making it illegal for employers to hire anyone here illegally. But they do it anyway. Up till now I've never
    heard of anyone being prosecuted for that. Were the entire owner and administration group of the poultry processing companies recently raided and
    so many illegals arrested prosecuted such that they paid a substantial fine *per* illegal employed, PLUS their business closed down....fewer and fewer employers would hire illegals....and fewer and fewer illegals would enter the country illegally.


    The vast majority of them are only coming here for jobs (which Americans
    need), and don't want to become part of this country. If they did....they wouldn't arrive here waving the flag of another country.

    The BIGGEST problem is we have had presidents, and still have members of both houses of Congress, who will NOT enforce our laws.

    I don't know what you mean? How can Congress enforce the law? I've been
    hearing stories about liberal criminal court justices & city officials who won't enforce the laws- those who refuse to cooperate with ICE, helping illegals escape through back doors, etc.

    Sneaking in across a desert area, climbing over a fence, mobbing a border station and running into the country, then scattering in all directions,

    These things you've mentioned are things that our liberal friends have suggested are "legal as long as they apply for asylum afterwards." I could probably rob a bank and it's ok as long as I "apply for asylum afterwards."

    Yeah....well here's some info that throws water on that suggestion....be right back; I gotta hunt something up.......


    Ok, here's some info that knocks the liberal's `innocent migrants' notion into a cocked hat:


    First of all very few Americans know the real extent of fraudulent ID use by illegal aliens.


    Through Freedom of Information lawsuits it was learned that around 39 million Americans had their identities stolen by illegal aliens working in the United States during Hussein Obama's administration.


    There is (or was) what is known as a `no match' letter that was sent to employers who had employees who's SSN info didn't `match' up with known or pending SSN information.


    When Hussein Obama implimented the `Defered Action fo Child Arrivals (DACA) he discontinued the `no-match' letters practice.


    As a result there were MILLIONS of SSN's that were fraudulently used for employment....credit cards....loans....etc etc.....


    A little known fact.....every year there are untold numbers of taxpayers made to defend against the IRS over unreported income. Income they didn't know they were (supposedly) making due to someone out there using their SSN and

    Social Security numbers of young people are especially valued in that young people don't use their numbers until they begin their employment history in their late teens or early twenties.


    By then....an illegal alien has been using their SSN fraudulently for many years already.


    The BIGGEST problem is we have had presidents, and still have members of both houses of Congress, who will NOT enforce our laws.


    I don't know what you mean? How can Congress enforce the law?


    They will not stiffen the laws already in place. They will also not stop confirming judges they know will come up with some work-around decisions that circumvent the `intent' of laws that are already in place.




    I've been
    hearing stories about liberal criminal court justices & city officials who AT>won't enforce the laws- those who refuse to cooperate with ICE, helping AT>illegals escape through back doors, etc.



    Sneaking in across a desert area, climbing over a fence, mobbing a border station and running into the country, then scattering in all directions,


    These things you've mentioned are things that our liberal friends have AT>suggested are "legal as long as they apply for asylum afterwards." I could AT>probably rob a bank and it's ok as long as I "apply for asylum AT>afterwards."


    Like stealing coffee and donuts from a 7-11 and saying you intended to pay `afterwards'.


    Leftie liberals like to tell people `illegal immigration' is a "victimless crime".


    It's not!


    BTW....I have certain info that sheds light on why Mexico does nothing to stem the flow of illegals across our southern border. Gotta hunt it up.

    A border crossing in the U.S. will be subject to the authority exercised through the Department of
    Homeland Security, a U.S. governmental federal agency, through various administrative and
    enforcement divisions. Accordingly, a border crossing which occurs in the manner generally meant
    by this terminology, which is to say illegally, will accordingly come under the
    coverage of the U.S.
    Border Patrol, as is tasked with preventing such occurrences.
    If the particular instance of an unlawful border crossing occurs with success, then the illegally
    resident immigrant to the U.S. can then become subject to the effort of deportation proceedings
    transacted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). --- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32

    As you can see it is a more complicated then you have indicated.

    All of this can be verified as the correct procedure at the following website https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum/affirmative-asylum-pr ocess
    or in smaller form
    https://tinyurl.com/y7ep3q26

    The Affirmative Asylum Process

    The following steps explain how you apply for asylum in the United States through the affirmative asylum process. The information in this section will not apply to you if you are seeking asylum through the defensive asylum process, meaning you are in removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

    For information about the defensive asylum process, see the Obtaining Asylum
    in the United States page on USCIS.gov.

    STEP ONE: Arrive in the U.S.
    To apply for asylum in the U.S., you must be physically present in the U.S.


    STEP TWO: Apply for Asylum
    To apply for asylum, you should file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and
    for Withholding of Removal, with USCIS within one year of your last arrival
    in the United States (unless you qualify for an exception to the one-year filing deadline).

    Do not submit a completed fingerprint card (FD-258) or fingerprint fee with your application. Your application will be accepted without the fingerprint card attached.

    More information about how to file your application can be found in the instructions for Form I-589 (PDF, 156 KB).

    For information on asylum eligibility, see the Asylum Eligibility and Applications page on USCIS.gov.


    STEP THREE: Fingerprinting and Background/Security Checks
    You should read the ASC Appointment Notice and take it with you to your fingerprinting appointment at the ASC. You do not need to pay a
    fingerprinting fee as an asylum applicant.

    If you are also requesting asylum status for your spouse and children and
    they are with you in the U.S., they will need to go with you to your ASC appointment.

    More information is available on our Preparing for Your Biometric Services Appointment page.


    STEP FOUR: Receive an Interview Notice
    Depending on where you live, we will schedule you for an interview with an asylum officer either at one of the eight asylum offices, the two asylum sub-offices, or at a USCIS field office (“circuit ride location”). For
    more information about USCIS field and asylum offices, visit our Find A USCIS Office page. Your interview notice will tell you the date, location, and time of your asylum interview.

    As of January 29, 2018, the USCIS Asylum Division is scheduling asylum interviews in the following order of priority:*

    First priority: Applications that were scheduled for an interview, but the interview had to be rescheduled at the applicant’s request or the needs of USCIS; Second priority: Applications that have been pending 21 days or less since
    filing;
    Third priority: All other pending affirmative asylum applications will be scheduled for interviews starting with newer filings and working back towards older filings.

    *This scheduling approach was first established following the asylum reforms
    of 1995 (PDF, 22 KB), and was in place previously for 20 years.

    Workload priorities related to border enforcement may affect our ability to schedule all new applications for an interview within 21 days.

    Asylum office directors may consider, on a case-by-case basis, an urgent request to be scheduled for an interview outside of the priority order listed above. Please submit any urgent interview scheduling requests in writing to
    the asylum office with jurisdiction over your case. Go to the USCIS Service
    and Office Locator page for contact information.

    For asylum applicants who live far from an asylum office or an asylum sub-office, asylum offices schedule asylum interviews at USCIS field offices ("circuit ride" locations) as resources permit. Please contact the asylum office with jurisdiction over your case for more detailed information.

    See Affirmative Asylum Interview Scheduling for more information.


    STEP FIVE: Interview
    You may bring an attorney or accredited representative to the interview. You must also bring your spouse and any children seeking derivative asylum
    benefits to the interview.

    If you cannot proceed with the interview in English you must bring an interpreter.

    The interview will generally last about an hour, although the time may vary depending on the case. You may also bring witnesses to testify on your behalf.

    For more information about your asylum interview, see our Web page on
    Preparing for Your Asylum Interview.


    STEP SIX: Asylum Officer Makes Determination on Eligibility and Supervisory Asylum Officer Reviews the Decision

    You must meet the definition of a refugee in order to be eligible for asylum.

    The asylum officer will determine whether you:

    Are eligible to apply for asylum,
    Meet the definition of a refugee in section 101(a)(42)(A) of the INA, and
    Are barred from being granted asylum under section 208(b)(2) of the INA.

    A supervisory asylum officer reviews the asylum officer’s decision to ensure


    STEP SEVEN: Receive Decision
    In most cases, you will return to the asylum office to pick up the decision
    two weeks after the asylum officer interviewed you.

    Longer processing times may be required if you:

    Are currently in valid immigration status,
    Were interviewed at a USCIS field office,
    Have pending security checks, or
    Have a case that is being reviewed by asylum division staff at USCIS headquarters.

    We will normally mail your decision to you in these situations.

    For more information on the types of asylum decisions issued by USCIS, see
    our Web page on Types of Asylum Decisions.

    Additional information on the affirmative asylum process is available on our Resources for Asylum Applicants page.

    You can check your case status online. All you need is the receipt number
    that we mailed you after you filed your application. Start here: uscis.gov/casestatus.

    Additionally...

    Under United States law, a refugee is someone who:
    Is located outside of the United States
    Is of special humanitarian concern to the United States
    Demonstrates that they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race,
    religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular
    social group.

    Is not firmly resettled in another country
    Is admissible to the United States

    You may apply for asylum if you are at a port of entry or in the United States. You may apply for
    asylum regardless of your immigration status and within one year of your arrival to the United
    States.

    I am not familiar with USA laws there, but don't you need a
    compelling reason for asylum to be granted after you ask for
    it? The whole purpose of asylum is to offer protection to people
    who is being chased by regimes that don't respect human rights
    very much.

    I would expect that if I crossed a border without invitation
    and requested asylum, they would ask me why I want it. I would
    also expect that if I told that the Great Leader of some
    communist regime wanted to imprison me because I wrote an ugly
    article about he, I would be granted asylum. What I am not sure
    I would get is asylum for being poor or unemployed in my country
    of origin.

    True.

    I would expect that if I crossed a border without invitation

    also expect that if I told that the Great Leader of some
    communist regime wanted to imprison me because I wrote an ugly

    Also true.

    What I am not sure
    I would get is asylum for being poor or unemployed in my country
    of origin.

    Also true.

    However, if your reason for requesting asylum was because the gangs
    where you were told you that you either had to let your ten year old son
    be initiated into the gang or that they would kill your entire family --
    that should be enough. In the regions where the southern immigrates are
    coming from, that is not atypical. The region is more controlled by the
    gangs than by the government.

    The USA is so liberal that we say what you just said, but then we turn our backs and let the fake refugees do as they please; even let them get away
    with murder because it's more liberal than putting them in jail.

    Meanwhile, people who really are trying to escape oppressive governments can't walk to the USA; so they die while the fake ones get a free ride.

    I'm not in agreement with illegal immigration, but due to our flawed liberal laws, the best thing for real refugees to do is to swim here from the middle east & enter from Mexico. With all the raping and pillaging being done by our central american neighbors, we don't have time to review any actual asylum requests. Sneaking in is perfectly fine and the time couldn't be better.

    Hello mark,

    I am not familiar with USA laws there, but don't you need a >RF>>compelling reason for asylum to be granted after you ask for it? The >RF>>whole purpose of asylum is to offer protection to people

    The USA is so liberal

    do you even know what liberal is?

    Yes.

    do you call everyone who is left of your personal views a liberal?

    Yes.

    do you even realize that the entire US political spectrum is much further
    right that it was in nixon's day?

    That is only true because Donald Trump's three rivals for the
    Republican nomination are no longer in office.

    The latest Gallup Poll results show the job approval among
    Republicans for Donald Trump at 88%. Richard Nixon's best showing
    was 84% (among Republicans). Not sure what job approval rating
    George McGovern had, but he was never a Republican or a president.

    if nixon was alive today, he'd say that our entire political spectrum is
    ultra-right...

    Donald Trump is to the right of Richard Nixon.
    Mike Pence is to the right of Donald Trump.
    Anybody to the right of Mike Pence is off the chart.

    "you kids" really don't have a clue what is liberal or conservative...

    Richard Nixon was paranoid. But that never stopped him from
    playing "Give My Regards to Broadway" on piano at the Grand Ol' Opry.
    I'm just glad he never tried to sing it, unlike Margaret Truman.

    you just like throwing terms around in some misguided attempt at stirring
    controversy to get a laugh...

    Richard Nixon was the only president in history who has performed
    live at the Grand Ol' Opry.

    do you even understand that:
    a conservative democrat and a liberal republican are virtually the same?
    the only real difference is the blue "D" or red "R" they carry?
    that those two views overlap in many ways?

    George Wallace said that. He was right then. But that was decades
    ago, and is no longer true today. What we have now is neo-cons and
    neo-libs. Both groups are right-wing, the only difference being
    neo-libs are slightly less authoritarian than neo-cons.

    do you even understand that there's more than just "left" and "right" in
    politics?

    Relative to what? That is the question. Otherwise, such labels
    are meaningless.

    once again, i invite you and others to visit the political compass site and
    take their test to see where you lay in the spectrum based on the questions given...

    https://www.politicalcompass.org/

    Did you take the test? I did. And the results showed I was
    certifiable. Not only that, but I was allowed to print it, and
    frame it, proving that I have been officially certified.

    i've posted it before but no one has responded that they did visit the site,
    that they took the test, nor has anyone even given a hint as to their score...

    Okay. Time for Show & Tell.

    This document certifies that
    Mad Cajun
    inhabits the left libertarian quadrant of
    The Political Compass
    Sunday 8 September 2019

    Economic Left/Right: -6.25
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08

    Your turn.

    could the test be better? sure...

    This is only a test ...
    This is only a test ...
    This is only a test ...

    there is no middle ground for those questions where someone may not know the
    topic and don't care one way or the other about it... is the test accurate? for what it endeavors to graph, sure... it works for what it is intended to do...

    There are other tests of this type that can be found online.
    One such test had a very strong slant towards libertarianism.
    Not very accurate, but loads of fun to take. :)

    i'm old enough to remember that virtually every pickup truck had a gun rack
    in the back window... when people fought with their fists instead of
    grabbing for a gun or knife... i'm old enough to remember carrying a
    hunting rifle or shotgun to school so i could hunt small game on the way home... i'm old enough to remember when helping others was a good thing... i'm old enough to remember when "red" was a sign of communism... i'm old enough to remember when the N-word applied to all races/colors/creeds and meant liar, thief, con-man...

    I'm old enough to remember having to tutor Native Americans whose
    only means of transportation to get to and from school was on a boat.

    > However, if your reason for requesting asylum was because the gangs
    where you were told you that you either had to let your ten year old son
    be initiated into the gang or that they would kill your entire family -- that should be enough. In the regions where the southern immigrates are coming from, that is not atypical. The region is more controlled by the gangs than by the government.

    So basically you want to allow anyone who can get to the US to be able to just become a citizen?

    I don’t have an issue allowing people in that the country has a “need” for their skills. I don't like the
    idea of just allowing anyone that can make up any story to just be allowed in. It makes for a bunch
    of minimum wage people that we will likely all end up paying for in the long run.

    The next statement is for every decision we make and isn’t directed at either party alone:

    Our country is going deeper in debt every year and until we balance the budget we need to think
    through the cost impact of these decisions or one day we wont have a country and all the cry
    babies saying how bad the USA is right now will see what bad really is.

    I never said anyone. I said those who have a legitimate reason for
    seeking asylum. In some cases that is a real fear for the safety of
    themselves and their children. The USA has laws that allow such people
    to appeal for asylum once they enter the country and for a judge to hear
    their case to decide if it is acceptable.

    It makes for a bunch of people who are willing and able to work and
    contribute to the economy. Who do you think picks your fruit and
    vegetables in the fields. Who do you think does the cleaning and other
    low level jobs in the hotel industry -- including Trump's golf courses.
    Once they are here, "these people" usually prove to be a benefit to
    society. They pay taxes, including social security and medicare.

    The immigrates are not the cause of increasing national debt. The cause
    for that are things like military spending and tax cuts for the wealthy.

    Hello Dale,

    However, if your reason for requesting asylum was because the gangs
    where you were told you that you either had to let your ten year old son
    be initiated into the gang or that they would kill your entire family -- >>that should be enough. In the regions where the southern immigrates are >>coming from, that is not atypical. The region is more controlled by the >>gangs than by the government.

    So basically you want to allow anyone who can get to the US to be able >AM>to just become a citizen?

    I never said anyone. I said those who have a legitimate reason for
    seeking asylum. In some cases that is a real fear for the safety of >themselves and their children. The USA has laws that allow such people
    to appeal for asylum once they enter the country and for a judge to hear >their case to decide if it is acceptable.

    Many people may have a legitimate reason for seeking asylum, but
    are unable to show or document their reasons. In addition, just
    because they have a legitimate reason(s) for seeking asylum does
    not mean the US will grant them asylum, or even give them fair
    consideration.

    The only thing the US does is allow them to file a claim, and to
    grant them an appeal if their original claim is denied.

    I don’t have an issue allowing people in that the country has a “need” >AM>for their skills. I don't like the
    idea of just allowing anyone that can make up any story to just be >AM>allowed in. It makes for a bunch
    of minimum wage people that we will likely all end up paying for in

    It makes for a bunch of people who are willing and able to work and >contribute to the economy. Who do you think picks your fruit and

    society. They pay taxes, including social security and medicare.

    Documented workers are fine, as they are doing so legally. It is
    undocumented workers that are a problem. Even more so, employers who
    continue to hire them, and not be prosecuted.

    The next statement is for every decision we make and isn’t directed at >AM>either party alone:

    Our country is going deeper in debt every year and until we balance

    No issue here

    I don’t have an issue allowing people in that the country has a “need” for their skills. I don't like the
    idea of just allowing anyone that can make up any story to just be allowed in. It makes for a bunch
    of minimum wage people that we will likely all end up paying for in

    If that were true I'd be fine but they make minimum wage and need government assistance which guess who pays for?

    Not sure what Trump has to do with this discussion other then to bring liberals
    together screaming at the moon and crying their eyes out. His opinion doesn't matter to me.

    The next statement is for every decision we make and isn’t directed at either party alone:

    is.

    The immigrates are not the cause of increasing national debt. The cause
    for that are things like military spending and tax cuts for the wealthy.

    If they cost me a penny I don't want them here, if they pay their way without government assistance and they don't work illegally I'm fine with them. Its really that simple.

    I want our budget balanced before we take on more problems and they are not all
    plus and no minus.

    If we stop spending on the military we wont be safe - not looking to debate that with you just pointing out that I disagree.

    Now this I agree with.

    If you are telling me folks coming in and earning minimum wage picking my fruit
    don't cost me more money on the back end when they get welfare and have health problems I don't buy it and Without a balanced budget why spend anything supporting folks that migrate to our country illegally.
