Exactly what would you have done???

Opened the gates and let them all in??? Or stop them???

Those are the two choices.

Pfft, yeah. It's not like we could make an effort to process them or anything.

Yep, it would suck if we treated our fellow human beings with empathy and compassion. 

I agree Jor, 100%. It is what I would want for myself if I was fleeing poverty and violence myself. 

The right in America is falling for the very same vile crap despots and dictators use as far as rhetoric. 

Separating kids from their parents is sick. And they were not just tear gassing adult men either.

What you' re all overlooking -- these folks are willing to force their way across the border. What is their motivation???? Right now - they put themselves AND their kids at greater risk by trying to force their way across the border than simply staying in Mexico....

But noooooooo.... They gotta come here...


Why is that???

My guess??

I suspect you're right, especially about the last bit.  Anyone willing to walk 1500 miles for a job is definitely someone I'd be happy to have live next door to me.

Unfortunately economic advantage is not a legitimate reason to grant asylum.

In that you are correct...finally.

But our own laws permit them to apply for asylum and get a hearing and Fuckface Von Clownstick doesn't get to cancel laws because he is a racist pig.

Yes our laws do. 

However - when you try to force your way in - it kinda doesn't do your application any favors.

And why is the US the only country that is supposed to take applications for asylum?

Were it me I would be applying at every embassy of every country that I could think of.

How many applications has the Brit, Chinese, Russian ect ect embasssies taken? How many have they granted?

Betcha that' s an elite bunch...

So you haven't been paying any attention to what's been going on in Europe?

Got it.  Let me know when you turn off FOX and figure out what is going on.

We' re not talking about Europe.

We' re talking about Guadamalans and Hondurans in Mexico.


But thanks for the diversion.

The laws in Britain, Russia and China (full disclosure - I had to look up the last two) require a person to be physically in the country before they can apply for asylum.  In other words:

1.  You can't do it from an embassy.

2.  Walking from Honduras to any of the countries you mentioned is problematic, to say the least.
