Important Topic

From a retired retired Border Patrol Agent, the job of the Patrol is not to process immigrants. Legal attempts are required to present themselves at ports of entry, anyone who enters or attempts to enter between is breaking the law and should be taken into custody and kept there until they are deported. Why are individuals entering illegally not being deported? Hold the Line,

Why do we even pay taxes? No borders, poor schooling, highways are a complete mess, cops that don't do anything. However, make sure Uncle Sam gets paid.

Nuff said , time for action
Support the Governor's that are showing they care, Better late than never !
Just MHO. Be safe

Get back under your rock and do a little research. I think you are not well informed.

What is so wrong with legal entry .. Geeze be nice
to much hate ... I just believe in law and order. IMHO it is the right thinking..

Corrected so we don't get into a pissing contest...



Peace

You were mis informed. IS the person who sails his boat back from Bermuda guilty of Illegal entry? How about the guy who sails to international waters and back in ? No, as long as he report once he arrives. Most who cross at the southern boarder self report to the 1st immigration officer they come to,and are not guilty of any crime. Those that don't aren't the ones you see, they are "underground". The ones that self report are seeking asylum under international law and are doing what is required of them. The US is not processing them , giving hearings and making final adjudication of their claim in a timely manor, and because of the back log, are releasing them, as they have committed no crime.

Understood how each of you stand !
Thank you..

It isn't where we stand but where the law stands. It is why there are secondary checkpoints north of the boarder. As long as the present themselves to immigration officials they are not breaking the law. If they try and proceed north of the secondary check point it can be presumed that they had no intention of reporting.
It is a direct response to slowing to a trickle, the number allowed to present at a "normal" crossing. IF we had invested in immigration judges and personnel the back log wouldn't be so great.
Those that come across want to stay, and stay with all the perks of being here legally, being able to get a job and not have to hide. One way to do that is through the asylum statute. That requires that the claims be reviewed as established by law, and those that meet the requirements be allowed in and those that do no be deported. Some one who presents at the boarder (either at a crossing or elsewhere), it will take about 10 years to have the case resolved, that is why we have a problem. People have always flocked to this country, but we have not kept up with the need for immigration judges or courts.
It isn't a Dem or Rep issue, neither side has addressed it in decades, and still refuse to do so.

Amen to most of that for sure!

Canada has rules on entering Canada and these laws are enforced. Immigration requires a trade and a job to go to.
Refugee claims must pass a detailed vetting. If there is anything that does not fit, the claimant is on the next plane out of town.
When a controversial person was elected, there was a rush for the 49th. It was reported that fewer than 1% qualified. Snoopy Cartoons were accepted and are in Eastern Canada.
When a person enters Canada at a CBSA crossing they can be searched at any time. If that person asks about immigration, a search is absolutely going to happen. Guns? Kiss them good-bye. You are in Canada when you cross the border. A criminal record of any kind will get a person a refusal to enter.

Well said and thank you for sharing,

That is more or less how it works down here, in terms of the law. Where it breaks down is there isn't the funding and manpower to carry out the vetting and separate the wheat from the chafe, until they get that sorted out, the people are in limbo. As I stated it can take a decade for the process to run its course. The answer isn't to change the law (wouldn't change much anyway) but to deal quickly and effectively with a refugee claim! Much less than 1% will meet all the requirements, but those that do, don't need more abuse from the world, they need a safe haven. The rest need to come in another way, apply for the visa "Lottery" or get one of the other visa categories to enter.
Most of us our families came from somewhere else, few of us can trace back 200 years in this country, so lets no be too hypocritical about who "belongs" and who doesn't.
