I doubt the legality of this. A person who goes to the border has the legal right to apply for asylum. Itâs kind of meaningless.
Itâs meaningless ego-stroking to placate Donald after Jim Acosta and company utterly pwned him, and it will be blocked by the courts within hours.
What a complete and utter DICKâŚis this even LEGAL??? What a peckerhead.
âThe asylum section of the Immigration and Nationality Act says a migrant is allowed to make a claim up to a year after arriving in the U.S., and it doesnât matter how they arrive â illegally or through a border crossing.â
Trump seems to think that he can repeal laws with a stroke of the pen; he is going to find out that is not the way our government works. (Or so I hopeâŚ)
"Signs measureâ? How normalizing. What he is actually doing is signing his own attempted ukase in defiance of the measures paased into law by the Congress.
Rhetorical question: So what is the difference between a âtent cityâ and a ârefugee camp?â Is our solution to make states on our southern border look like Lebanon?

Sec. 208. (a) Authority to Apply for Asylum.-
(1) In general. - Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alienâs status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 235(b).
Administration officials said those denied asylum under the proclamation may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include âwithholding of removalâ â which is similar to asylum, but doesnât allow for green cards or bringing families â or asylum under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
That âmay be eligibleâ isnât worth the paper itâs printed on.
Donât use the word migrants to describe people seeking asylum. they are refugees. we canât have this kind of confused terminology in journalism. It plays right into the prejudices of the right wing
Question:
WHY do we need this with all those troops at the border? Or maybe WHY did we need all those troops at the border if this was how easy it is to stop the caravan?
As I understand it, this is going to be applied to the southern border. So a mother from El Salvador, whose husband and son were shot by gang members wonât be able to apply for asylum if she doesnât arrive (fresh-scrubbed and neat) at a port of entry, but some neo-Nazi who walks across the unguarded US-Canada border would be able to. Is that it, Donnie-Boy?
We donât need all those troops at the border. The mid-terms are over.
Laws? Hell, tRump thinks he can override the Constitution whenever it suits him.
Trump isnât satisfied just undoing everything Obama, he is now taking on John Adams proclamation that âWe are a nation of laws, not of men.â If we are no longer a nation of laws then we are neither, because Trump is clearly not a man.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
âKeep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!â cries she
With silent lips. âGive me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!â
I have my own problems with Emma Lazarus but that was beautiful poetry.
And that âproblemâ is certain to be a first world problem.
No idea what youâre saying, hence cannot comment.
Trump was crossing his fingers when he took the Presidential oath?
