they’re illegal aliens - not migrants.

entering the country outside of an approved border crossing = illegal. attempting to emigrate by illegally crossing the border into another country gets you locked up and deported back to your country of origin. non-citizens who illegally enter the country have no rights in the country they’re illegally entering.

there are perfectly legal methods of obtaining a valid visa or other immigration documentation. if you choose to ignore that and illegally enter the country you’re going to end up in a cage.

Bruh, try to understand this: The people who are facing dehydration, starvation, and heat stroke crossing the desert are not rich people. There are legal methods of immigrating to the US, if you have money. These are poor, desperate people. Even people who immigrate illegally with a little bit of money tend to favor flying in legally and letting their visa expire…not potentially dying while crossing the desert on the way.

Think about it, no matter how bad shit gets in the United States (whether R or D in charge), the only people who actually leave the US are people with means. Everyone else toughs it out, because they can’t afford other options. Shit never gets bad enough here for poor people to get up and leave.

Where these people are coming from, their lives are literally so fucking bad, that it doesn’t matter that they have no money to their name - they have to get out. They see no other options. Leaving and facing the US Border Patrol (or worse, Piss Baby Greg Abbotts personal army) is legitimately preferable to what they’re leaving behind.

Let’s treat them like human beings. Let’s try showing some goddamned compassion.

why cant they go south? several South American countries are doing pretty well. why do they need to flood our borders, and do it illegally?

Who’s it hurting? The more people we educate and bring up, the more capable at all levels our country becomes.

We’re a country of both laws and compassion, and we’re all team human.

unwilling to answer the questions, eh? figures.

it’s not America’s job to save everyone. it’s a waste of our tax dollars to be compassionate.

I come from a country that believes in second chances, taking care of your neighbors and paying it forward. That country’s America.

If you don’t like it, you can get out.
