Didn't say it wasn't happening, just not happening in the way I'm sure the media is portraying it.

So why the need to post a thread condemning actions that you just agreed might not be accurately represented?

sorry I can't debate anything with an SJW who bases all of their opinions on how they feel and not reality based on facts
The facts are in. US law allows for asylum and refugee victims to seek sanctuary within its borders.

Affirmative Asylum Processing With USCIS
To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

"Why did you come here? Where are the drugs? Are you MS13!!!!!! Answer me damnit!!!!!!"

"Sneaking" past our borders is not proscribed in our refugee/asylum treaties and laws, nor does it adversely affect a person's right to claim asylum.

I hope the proceedings are recorded/televised/beamed to all the countries south of Texas. Those who are considering coming illegally should think twice...and then NOT do it.

But in most cases, asylum seekers in the suit report being told that there wasn’t room for them to be processed at the port of entry. And that might very well be true. That’s what CBP agents initially told the few hundred asylum seekers who made up the remnants of the Central American “caravan” when they presented themselves to a port of entry in California — then proceeded to process most of them over the next few days, presumably as resources became available. And it’s the same thing the Trump administration told the Guatemalans on the El Paso bridge.
In many cases, though, it really does seem like ports of entry simply don’t have room to hold all the people who come in seeking asylum while they’re initially processed.
A PRESIDENT CANNOT . . .

Except that the law was changed recently by this administration.
From a conservative (I think) news source Trump keeps making it harder for people to seek asylum legally
These are not Mexicans, as a rule, but people from farther south.
And from Fox Trump rule changes turn away more asylum seekers
These aren't illegals. They're people who were permitted to APPLY to enter the US. The way they do this (legally) is to show up at our borders and ASK for asylum. Only now a set of new rules is making this harder to do and most efforts are now illegal...
...as these news stories say.
