That they think the situation in their own country is so perilous that it's worth the risk.
Joe needs to be held accountable for promoting such ideas. This has to stop, how many have died or ended up in human trafficking? The cartels are placing bracelets on them to track them.

My family is in poverty. My son is 15 and is being forced into a gang. I have the opportunity to use all that I have to hire (with others) a bus to take my son to the US border where he might be accepted in or not. Desperation maybe, but not child abuse.

"In" to where?

Pelosi is already stepping up to defend joe by blaming Trump, even though these kids didn't even come over the border until well after joe took office, and even though it's under his regime that kids are still being put in Obama-cages and wrapped in mylar blankets. But that's how the dem leadership handles a crisis. They blame someone who isn't even in office anymore.
Pelosi blames border crisis on Trump's 'broken system'

And someone is placing shirts on them. I wonder if those came from a gift shop somewhere along the way through Mexico:

I think that we are ignoring the main problems.

Biden will take care of lots of the issues by year end. Folks will again be in camps in Mexico, perhaps being operated by Holiday Inn or the US embassy. Folks will again be in facilities in the US, again with good conditions. Many more immigration judges will be confirmed and assigned, and the program to make sure that folks awaiting a second hearing will be re-instated. And yes, Mexico will again be pressured into making decisions regarding those crossing ITS borders, and pressured to prevent Central American refugees from coming to US borders. And sure, more will apply for asylum at US facilities in other countries. And yes, Biden will facilitate kids and mother being reunited in the US.

This will help end the US inflicted inhumanity. 80% or more of asylum seekers will be be deported as under Obama. Congress will NOT approve $4B of new foreign aid to Central America. The problem is not solved.
========================
QUESTION ONE
How many asylum seekers should be accepted under what rules? Should we admit 2 million Wiegers from China? Why not? How about a million Christians from the Syrian camps? There are many in the world at least as deserving as those living in the societies in Central America. And even if the crisis were as bad, why is the US that should accept the millions living under
these horrible conditions? We are not even a bordering country.

IMHO, Christians in camps in Syria, Jordan and other countries have at least the same rights to US asylum as 15-17 male teens from El Salvador. Agree? Disagree?

QUESTION 2
Let us presume that Biden moves back to the policies of Obama (no new rights for those in Central America). Let us presume that that he re-instates hotels or bases on each side of the Mexican border, and continues to pressure the Mexican government (there is no other choice that won't lose both the Senate and the House in 2022.

What should be the priorities with regard to immigration and immigrants. What are the next steps. For me, this is a no brainer. Let us have a DACA citizenship bill introduced in the Senate with no other issues other than DACA folks. If Republican want to vote this down, than so be it.
What are "Wiegers"?

I assume they mean the Uyghurs in China, who are right now going through what some people discribe as genocide.
Ah, yes. Those Weigers.

In complete transparency, if I never saw it spelled, I would spell it the same way. It is not pronounced how I think it should be based on spelling.
spelling of names from foreign alphabets is problematic

Well the Democrats quoted several doctors as saying that the separation of children and parents should be seen as child abuse that causes lifelong permanent emotional and mental damage.

Remember that?

Generally bullets cause even more damage. What's it going to be?

I can't be responsible for what happens in their own nations. As for gangs....east St. Louis is more dangerous than all of El Salvador.

If you want to make them safe...let's send the military and take over. If you want to eliminate gangs, that's the only conceivable way.

Sending money to these nations for doing nothing encourages corruption.

I don't think gangs will magically disappear overnight and I don't see any reason to accept a permanent excuse of "dangerous criminals".

I'm sure these illegal immigrants are eager for the free healthcare, education, housing vouchers, food stamps and much more Joe Biden has promised them if they make it to the US. Once they get here, you can bet the Biden administration plans to give them voting rights. Is this manufactured crisis an attempt to change the demographics of the United States in order to give permanent power to the Democratic Party? This border crisis is no accident! Does anyone remember this ludicrous speech from Joe Biden? His true colors are obvious. Wake up America!

Joe Biden: "Whites will be an ABSOLUTE minority in America - that’s a source of our strength."

I agree with Biden. Immigrants from all over the world contribute to all that is great about the US.

That’s not what this is really about.
Sure it is. The changing demographics away from majority white only favors Democrats because Republicans don’t have policies that bring the votes.
