Memo to the media:

Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

@rbreich I agree with the point but isn't the asylum process being abused? Should the world be allowed in to the U.S. by claiming asylum?

@kevinsickles @rbreich It's not abuse to use a system as it is designed. Most of the United States is empty, undeveloped land. We have space, and we should welcome new Americans.

@MzAprilDaniels @rbreich so welcome all migrants and send them to BLM land?

@kevinsickles @rbreich How come whenever folks like you hear that we have room to accept more people, you always have to imagine it in the stupidest, cruelest, most self-defeating way possible? You think we can go to the moon but we can't figure out how to house a bunch of desperate families? Why are you like that? What happened that made you so lacking in imagination and empathy?

@kevinsickles or more succinctly, how come you're such a quitter?

@MzAprilDaniels how many migrants have you accepted in to your home?
Show threadMz. April DanielsDec 29, 2022
@kevinsickles Yeah, exactly like that. What is UP with that? You know we have hotels and empty apartments and housing vouchers are a thing, but you pretend that you don't so you can try and imagine that other people are hypocrites for not being as heartless as you. WTF went wrong in your childhood, dude?
