U.S. Tells Caravan Seeking Asylum That Crossing Facility Had No Room For Them

After traveling through Mexico with great fanfare for a month under the Trump administration’s watchful eye, nearly 200 Central American migrants attempting to seek asylum in the United States were stopped in their tracks when border inspectors said that a crossing facility didn’t have enough space to accommodate them. …

Border inspectors also told a pregnant woman who was going into labor that there were no mangers available either.

(It’s amazing that so many conservatives can still keep a straight face while calling themselves Christians.)

Just so just we’re all on the same page:

1. Those “browns” are not welcome due to the whims of one man, DOTUS; the same guy who promised farm laborers to the good folks in Washington (Michigan) …
2. All applicable law has been effectively “bent” to adhere to the whims of one man: DOTUS. Not good. Fun Fact:
3. Real people treated as pawns. Who gains?

Gadzooks! Lard ho? All the same names, faces, characters, have shifted to the next big: POT! [shriek]

And now this:

I don’t understand why we don’t just tell these people, “Sorry. You need to request asylum in Mexico, because you can’t come across the US Border.”

Anyone crossing illegally, should just be physically tossed back into Mexico.

We are under no obligation to consider these people for immigration.

I think it would be nice if you’d learn the difference between immigrant and refugee/asylum seeker. There are international laws set in place since 1951 under the Geneva Convention, or would you like the US to officially bow out of all international conventions and treaties.

Yeah, actually we are. Perhaps you should learn something about this topic before you spout off about it again?

King James Bible, Luke 2:7 :

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

I don’t base my immigration position nor other political standards on the Bible, but President Trump claims to do so whenever he’s trying to round up votes from the religious right.

New International Bible, Matthew 23:23 :

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

King James Bible, Luke 2:7

I’m an atheist. Keep your degenerate superstitions out of public policy.

Learn to read, son, beyond the first line. Those are not my “degenerate superstitions,” but those used by the President and most of his enablers helping carry out his policies.

I don’t give a shit if Moses and the Archangel Gabriel brought you that superstitious crap on golden tablets. It has no place in public discource, which YOU are trying to promote. I don’t care about Trump, he’s an idiot, and I’m kind of shocked that you are supporting his line of argument.

All those illegals need to be prosecuted and thrown into the desert today.
