Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

Not a bad idea. Someone should step up and prevent leftists from throwing kids in cages.

Someone should stop the Republicans from tearing children away from their parents, putting them in detention camps, and then losing track of them.

What should we do with children when their parents serve jail time?

Soylent Green?

Maybe they shouldn't illegally enter our country and fake asylum claims, they wouldn't be separated, they only have themselves to blame. Present yourself at a border crossing station and these sort of problems can be avoided.

You haven't been paying attention again, have you? They come to legit border crossings and ask for asylum and they get separated. We lose track of where we warehouse their kids and they die. They're fleeing gang violence and murder,an political violence and murder which is why they ask for asylum.

No, idiot. Do what Obama humanely did, put them with relatives in the country, or find foster parents, or set a court date and let them go til then. By all reports that did in fact work prettywell.

Isn't foster parents what Trump is doing?

If it's OK for Obama to do, why isn't it OK for Trump to do?

No. They cross into the US illegally, get caught, and get separated.

No it's not. Trump is warehousing them in mass detention centers.

check out ehere they come in and where they are held. It's at legal border criossings. Not always but most of the time The caravans did not head toward the desert to come in. They came by highway to border crossings. The wall wouldn't have done ****.

It seems you are the one not paying attention.


If they come to legit crossing points, then how come so many are being arrested? The last few months have seen between 75k and 100k caught not at bordering crossings, Border Patrol is saying they only catch about a 1/3rd of the people illegally crossing the border .


How much BS can you squeeze into a single post?


You really do believe all the hype don't you? You do realize that 80% of the asylum seekers get turned away because they aren't having any of those problems, they want into the US for the same reason people have for decades, work, it has nothing to do with the violence you claim.

I wonder why these people don't stay in their own countries and demand change instead of coming here and demanding change to our immigration standards? They are quick to protest here with foreign flags, but can't muster the guts to do it in their own countries.

Where would I find such information?

Do you have a cite for kids staying at these centers for a long time and not being parceled out to foster parents?

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. I thought I would post an Ollie and C J post.

Do that, and then prove it is a lie. Should be easy for you, right?

The only liar here is you. You cannot point out anything untrue in our posts.

More lies. Everyone here, even the conservatives know if your posting your lying.

Nope.

Can You Request Asylum At the U.S. Border?
If you can't obtain a visa and successfully enter the U.S. before applying for asylum, you might have to request it at a border, airport, or other entry point.

By Ilona Bray, J.D.

If you can get a visa to come to the United States, such as a tourist visa, you can apply for asylum when you arrive, by telling the inspections officer that you fear returning to your country and wish to apply for asylum. However, it’s best to wait, and not to mention this unless the officer is acting like he or she doesn’t plan to let you into the U.S. anyway. If you start the application process now, you’ll have very little time in which to find a lawyer or prepare.

Preferable Option: Wait Until You’re In the U.S. to Apply for Asylum
If the inspections officer allows you in to the U.S., then you can apply for asylum by mailing in an application, with supporting documentation, on Form I-589. The form and instructions are available for free download on the USCIS website. However, if at all possible, you should get help from an attorney.

If You Must Request Asylum at the Port of Entry
There are many reasons to avoid requesting asylum at the port of entry to the United States.

One is that the inspections officers have the power to quickly find you inadmissible and deport you, in which case you will not be allowed to return for five years. This can happen if an inspector believes that you are making a misrepresentation (committing fraud), or misrepresented the truth when you got your visa, or if you do not have the proper travel or visa documents at the time you request entry.

This quick deportation procedure is known as “summary exclusion.” It can be applied to anyone except people entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (according to a 1999 decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals).

There is an exception to the summary exclusion process for people who fear persecution and request asylum. So, even if you do not have the proper documents or you have made a misrepresentation, you could still be allowed to enter the U.S. if you make clear that your reason is to apply for asylum and you can show that you’d be likely to win asylum.

Another reason is that the Trump Administration has begun treating asylum seekers as unlawful immigrants, and trying out a variety of policies to deter them, such as placing all of them into detention, charging application fees, or forcing them to wait in Mexico. We won't detail these here because many are the subject of ongoing litigation and might have changed by the time you read this.

After you have said you want to apply for asylum, you’re supposed to be immediately given a “credible fear” interview by an asylum officer. The purpose of this interview is to make sure you have a significant possibility of winning your case. Most importantly, the officer will want to be sure that your request is based on a fear of persecution. This interview is supposed to be scheduled quickly, within one or two days, but it has been taking longer.

If the officer isn’t convinced of your fear, you must request a hearing before an immigration judge. If you don’t, you will be deported from the U.S., and not be allowed to return for five years. The judge must hold the hearing within seven days, either in person or by telephone.

If the judge finds that you have a credible fear of persecution, you’ll be scheduled for a full hearing. In that case, you should seek an attorney. This proceeding will take place in Immigration Court, before a judge, and with an attorney representing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Detention While Awaiting Your Hearing
Most asylum applicants are held in a detention facility at this point. Depending on the latest policy it might be possible to request release, called “parole.”

The applicants most likely to be granted parole are those who can verify your identity, have family or other contacts in the area, can post a bond (money that's given up if you don’t show up for future hearings), and can show you’ll be financially supported until a decision is made on your asylum case.

If you fail to convince the immigration judge of your credible fear of persecution, you will be deported (removed) from the United States.

The only liar here is you. You cannot point out anything that I've said that is untrue.

It seems as if you are posting this article as contradiction to my post, but I'm unsure how it contradicts me.

Is it because the article mentions the possibility of people entering the US legally and then requesting asylum?

If so, are such people being separated from their children?
