re: Someone sent a plane load of illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard now with meme update

I don't even get the argument against what these states are doing.

First, there is some real fraud going on with people abusing the asylum system. We know these people are not in any way eligible for asylum but DEM politicians want to pretend this is proper. We all have to agree that 99% of these are economic migrants illegally entering the US with the only possible defense being outright fraud.

Second, the treaties that the US is subject to binds the nation, not individual states. So if we have to permit entry to process asylum cases as a nation, nothing says that Texas has to be where the processing occurs. Our own federal law also doesn't mandate this.

Third, what difference does it make, from a legal standpoint, if these people remain in a border area or another state? You can follow that up with a political or moral argument: what makes a border area so special that they MUST deal with these economic migrants (who are likely committing a crime)?

The basis of this "argument" seems to be that these people have a human right to travel to the US for improper purposes, only to be deported at a later date, and that only Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Florida may deal with these people. It makes no logical sense.
