Neither is treating asylum seekers as criminals and separating parents and children.
If they came into the country without the proper paperwork and through the proper door, then THEY ARE CRIMINALS - having violated our laws to get in here. Separating children from the adults who are posing as their parents is definitively the correct thing to do. It also acts as a deterrent to those who are being told to come here with their kids and get a free life paid for by SUCKERS in America.
Can't anyone here see why this looks so bad?
We no longer care 'how it looks'. This is an invasion of foreign squatters you are advocating that we pay for and suffer.
But that's not the situation here - these are asylum seekers, parents and kids escaping oppression.
If they snuck into this country without ringing the doorbell and getting the correct visas and paperwork filed, they are CRIMINALS and are lawbreakers and should be treated as invaders and sent back after being DNA marked so that they can never apply to come into this country ever again.
They may or may not merit asylum. But while their case is pending, they are being treated as equivalent to criminals, with parents and kids separated.
Good. It's past time to de-incentivize the open border welfare state that the hordes of squatters and OTMs are told that can just come in here, get treated better than citizens and live off my dime.
Unless you personally are going to house and pay for all these "asylum seekers" while their "cases are being adjudicated" you can just go pound sand.
We're broke and in debt and we cannot afford to deal with all the millions of SOTB squatters and Reconquinistas here now.
