re: Lt. Gov Billy Nungesser blasts Border Patrol operation in Louisiana: 'There's a better way

"We all want the criminals gone ... that they're pulling these people out of homes — I just don't know.

Speak for yourself dude. I want them all gone.

I'm sure the handful of people who actually give a flying frick about immigration post here and will celebrate the detaining of lawful immigrants (and anyone else) but the situation here sucks

---

It sure does suck.

Biden really 'effed everybody creating this problem that someone else now has to do the dirty work of cleaning up.

So the obvious lesson is, let's never hire anybody like that to run the country again.

quote:

Under U.S. law, anyone physically present in the United States can request asylum, even if they crossed the border without permission.
This is written straight into the Immigration and Nationality Act. It’s not a loophole, it’s the actual law.

After they are screened and processed as asylum seekers, they wait 3-7 years for a court date. So we need a way to unclog these immigration courts and speed this process up, as well.

---

So why wouldn't we just change the law? It's ridiculous as-is. Why not just change it so that only people entering legally can seek asylum? That's a much faster and easier fix, it doesn't leave anybody out who really needs asylum, and it's reasonable instead of being asinine. I count three wins there.

There also needs to be a feasible way for people already here illegally to obtain legal status.

---

No we don't. What makes you think that's something we need?

Make E-verify a federal requirement of employment. Many congressional Republicans have repeatedly voted against this to appease their donors.

---

You sure Republicans are the only ones? This is what AI says when I Google it:

quote:

---

Those who vote against mandatory E-Verify requirements often include Democrats, who raise concerns about burdens on businesses, potential discrimination, and centralized government databases; some Republicans, who see it as an overreaching federal mandate or economically harmful; and business lobbies/groups, who fear increased costs, complexity, and errors, while immigration advocates often oppose it for human rights or anti-immigrant reasons, despite the system's intent to enforce laws.

---

Seems to me that nobody wants to give up the cheap labor, not just Republicans.

There probably is a better way.


But this way is 1,000,000 better than Biden's way.
