At least we had a southern border under Trump. I live in Chicago, one of our many Sanctuary Cities being ruined by the endless flood of illegals. No borders, no country. Does America even still exist as a country?

I encourage you to carefully check facts. Earlier this year, Congress was ready to pass bipartisan legislation to enhance border security. Then Donald Trump intervened to scuttle the legislation. Mr. Trump pressured Republican legislators to block passage of the bill, because Donald Trump did not want the problem to be solved while Joe Biden is President. Instead, Donald Trump wanted to use the border as a campaign issue. He deliberately impeded bipartisan legislation to enhance the border, so that he can point to the failure he caused — while falsely claiming that it is Joe Biden‘s failure.
We should listen to the Border Patrol. When people reach the border and apply for asylum, they should find themself in court in short order. Now they wait for years and years. The Judge who knows the laws of the US presides over the case, Amen.
The Border Patrol has requested legal help, not more ammunition. guns and torture.
The bipartisan bill was garbage that allowed something like 2500 illegals a day to enter. That’s not a secure border. No borders means no country. A society too full of rot to maintain something as basic and essential as borders is not a country. It’s a failed state in rapid decline.
By “illegals,” do you mean human beings? Seeking asylum is a human right protected under our laws.
The right to seek asylum — or safety from persecution — in another country was born out of the tragedies of World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust. In its aftermath, dozens of nations committed to never again slam the door on people in need of protection. The right to asylum was enshrined in 1948’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and then again in the Refugee Convention of 1951 and its 1967 Protocol.
The United States passed its own federal law in the Refugee Act of 1980, for people who are fleeing persecution on “account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” The Refugee Act is meant to ensure that individuals who seek asylum from within the U.S. or at its border are not sent back to places where they face persecution.
In today’s world, these protections remain critical, with more people forcibly displaced from their homes due to conflict, violence, and human rights violations than at any other point since World War II.
To be granted asylum, people must come to the U.S. or the border and must prove their case.
This is US law. There are people in this world who are being persecuted. US law allows for them to seek asylum in the USA. In order to follow US law to seek asylum, these human beings are required by US law to come to the USA or the border. People who come to the US border to seek asylum are obeying US law. Seeking asylum is a human right protected under our laws.

Elected officials and news outlets often mischaracterize those seeking asylum at the border as breaking the law or failing to seek protection “the right way.” However, under U.S. law, a person seeking asylum may do so by arriving at the border and asking to be screened by U.S. officials at a “port of entry,” or by entering the U.S. without prior inspection and then declaring their fear of persecution.

@seva
do you occasionally wonder WHY people leave their homes and their loved ones behind,
hoping to find decent living conditions and a decent future for their beloved children?
potus #45 called the countries these people come from "shit-hole countries".
has it ever occurred to you that US interference, aka 'regimes changes' have
- for many decades - prevented these countries from becoming democracies,
prevented them from thriving to offer their populations the same amount of
comfort and wellbeing that most US citizens enjoy?
totally unfair trade policies [such as US sanctions against venezuela, for instance]
have utterly devastating effects on these countries' economies, while the
US-declared "war on drugs" alone brought much violence to latin america ...
gangs "ask" families for their sons to join. if they refuse they must fear for their lives.
would you want your kids to grow up in such an environment?
plenty of US industries thrive on "illegal" labor, too. keep that in mind, if you will.
also consider that US tax fraud$ter$ cause much more damage than immigrants do!
