      I mean, there’s no guarantee that people are asylum seekers.

      There are lots of people who cross the border from Canada illegally, which if they were asylum seekers Canada would be good enough. But if they are economic immigrants Canada isn’t good enough so they sneak across to America. That’s not legal. I’m Canadian, if I snuck through the forest to get to America and avoid the border checkpoint I would 100% expect to get arrested for many years.

      Illegally immigrating is a separate act from seeking asylum. You can seek asylum at any port of entry.

        We should deny all asylum seekers. According to the left we are a hateful, racist country. As such we can provide asylum since we’d be putting people in danger

            We’ve been told it’s unsafe for anyone who isn’t a white heterosexual male.

            As such they need to go somewhere else where they’d be free from danger.

            The real issue is asylum is abused to get into this country. As much as deli democrats hate this country. Everyone else sees it for the wonderful country that provides opportunity to people.

      Not at all obvious to me as to why that is. Being on the right of centre doesn’t mean I’m automatically going to vote for whoever the right-wing candidate is.

        An illegal immigrant (undocumented is just an euphemism) is a criminal. And she has shown she wants to import cheap abusable labor so American workers suffer.

        So she claims they are not. Its deriliction of duty.

          My point was that I don’t see how “we need to vote for Trump” follows from there. That would only hold true if immigration was the only thing I cared about.

            Its a pretty big issue. It affects so many things, like workers rights and wages.

            That and guns. Two super big wedge issues that the democrats simply are against
