Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:

•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)

•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)

•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)

RT if you learned something new!

@QasimRashid might want to add that any treaty we signed also becomes the law of the land but I'm not an attorney or whatever just a high school diploma down here trying to make sure the fascists aren't in charge

"Treaties are binding agreements between nations and become part of international law. Treaties to which the United States is a party also have the force of federal legislation, forming part of what the Constitution calls ''the supreme Law of the Land.''

@Gilda @QasimRashid Well, history demonstrates that treaties and "international law" work as well as the US balance of powers. It only takes one to stop acting as a gentleman and all falls apart. And it takes years to rebuild.
