El Paso Border Shut Down and CBP One App Shut Down

All in the first 8 hours of Trump being President. Doing more for the border than Biden did in 4 years. My God it's almost like it's not impossible to secure the border, if you actually want to try to secure the border. I had forgotten what competent leadership in the White House felt like. Trump making it look easy.

El Paso Port of Entry, CBP One Immigration App Reportedly Shut Down After Trump Inauguration

Keep going Trump. Shut the border down.

 

And we will smoke them out. Make it impossible for them to find employment and live here. Make it impossible for their kids to go to school. Make them afraid to get medical care. And they will be deported.

I support putting in a three strike system. You get caught for a third time, you get life in prison and instead of working in the agriculture fields for low pay, you work in the agriculture fields for next to no pay as part of your prison work. The choice is theirs, they decide.

 

The emergency rule overrules that asylum right. And let me ask you this, why are they not applying for asylum in the first country with a stable government near their country of origin?

Asylum rules indicate that asylum seekers must apply for asylum in the first country they arrive in with a stable government. They don't get to "pick and choose" where they apply for asylum.

Asylum is also only for victims of political and racial/ethnic prosecution. "My country being a third world sh*thole country", while sad, is not a valid reason for asylum. The vast majority of asylum claims are denied, but it doesn't matter because most asylum seekers don't show up to their hearing. They've already achieved what they wanted, to get into the U.S.

And if they want to apply for asylum, they can remain in Mexico while they wait for their asylum hearing date. But no entry into the U.S. until the asylum hearing date.

 

Just remember, Trump is President now and is charge. I imagine Texas will be putting up the barbed wire and stocking the rivers with alligators again. Immigrants will have to decide if it's really worth the risk. I wouldn't risk it.

 

Not if the asylum claim has no ability to be valid. And immigrants have no right to enter the U.S. until their asylum hearing, assuming their asylum request is approved. Let's be brutally honest, very few asylum claims are valid, because most asylum claims are "my country is a third world sh*thole country". Asylum is only for political persecution and racial/ethnic persecution.

Immigrants are told exactly what to say to get into the U.S. Those immigrants then disappear and never show up for their asylum hearing.

And why are they not applying for asylum in stable countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Chile or Brazil? Asylum is not "pick and choose". You are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country you get to with a stable government.

The abuse of the asylum system is over.

 

For agriculture, use the prison population as well as the unemployment population. If people are going to get unemployment benefits, make them work for it.

If that doesn't cover it, then set up a temporary guest worker program, with the caveat that the immigrant can only stay while there is the need. So in agriculture for example, once the season is over, the immigrants are deported until the next season.

 

They are entitled to a hearing. They are not entitled to enter the U.S. until that hearing.

And answer my question, why are these immigrants not applying for asylum in countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil, Argentina and Chile? Countries that are closer to their home and countries that would be easier to assimilate into the dominant culture of the country.
