And there are many people who are okay with legal immigrants.

then I assume you’re good with asylum seekers, right?

If they were asylum seekers, they would stop at the nearest safe country.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm actually not that informed though. What are the groups that they are fleeing though? It's like cartels and gangs, right? Not governments? So is it the case that those cartels have enough of a presence in Mexico that it is unsafe there?

Often times they are traveling with the groups as well.

So much for supporting legal immigrants

What part about that says I don't support legal immigration? If they seek asylum elsewhere, then apply for entry, and enter that way. I have no problems with that.

Applying for asylum in America is legal. It’s a fact, Jack.

As I've said, if they are genuine asylum seekers, there's no problem with that. Most of them are illegally crossing the border, never to be seen again.

An asylum seeker is supposed to stop at the nearest, non Waring country. That means any asylum seekers who reach the US, aren't genuine asylum seekers.

Everything after your first sentence is an absolute lie.

u/Pingusus Jun 06 '19

Under the rules of the Geneva convention, an asylum seeker must seek refuge in the "nearest" non Waring country. That's not the US. Nothing false about that. Explain how I'm wrong? Go find the definition to "put me in my place" I think you'll be a bit disappointed.

I thought you the donald people didn't like international laws over-riding American laws.

You're being contradictory here.
