And so it begins.

....it seems the Biden crime family is trying to force a civil war with it's policies. Just my humble opinion....
Total bullshit. You made the non-humble and hystrionic argument that Biden's policies were the cause citizens needing high grade military hardware and training in assasinations and infrastructure sabotage.

That's not how we make policy decisions in America. We hold elections, and elections have consequences. You are a traitor to our democratic form of government to even suggest that assassination is understandable in this situation.

The violence underlying the posts of MAGAts like you deserve pushback from people on this forum and from Federal law enforcement personnel.

No, once again you fail to realize the dangers of this situation... in at least a dozen or more countries across the globe this very scenario has played out.... disgruntled population, adversarial foreign interests ect .... Add to all of that I'm not the first to recognize this possible scenario your federal government has employed this very operation in multiple countries. And no I want no part of this slow moving train wreck.....

Or did you just realize that maybe just maybe your safe space or for that matter "our" safe space is in real jeopardy? the possibility of a nightmare of that sort keep you up at night?..... I hope to God it never comes to our country.... I've witnessed enough shit.....
 
Thank you for this.
People must constantly be informed what an asylum seeker is and what the established laws are that cover them.
That said, I still harbor a desire that Biden use the threat of federalizing the Texas National Guard, as Eisenhower did against the state of Arkansas and its refusal to integrate schools, and that the DOJ starts charging governors with trafficking and let the courts determine if their charges are constitutional or not.

Yes, there is a real danger that MAGA—after being heavily propagandized by Russia and thwarted at the ballot box—will turn to violence, but none of that is caused by President Biden or the Democrats.

Asylum?? If Biden is going to play the asylum game then he is responsible to assure that the appropriate assets are available to adjudicate each case before releasing any seeker into the country. The law does not give Biden the authority to parole millions of illegals. Read the laws.

The law says that they must have their case heard in court. If there is a backlog, then there is a backlog.

They've tried to expedite cases at the border and have been blocked. Their current policy changes are being rolled out, even as they are also being challenged in court, that would expedite rejection for those outside of ports of entry.

But of course, the right refuses to acknowledge those efforts because they will only be happy with mass deportation, which will never happen and is not possible, and a complete and permanent closure of the southern border, which also is not feasible.

The spirit of the use of Parole;

The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the secretary of Homeland Security "discretion" to parole aliens into the United States temporarily "on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit." It explicitly adds that the secretary may not use this power for an alien who is a refugee unless there are "compelling reasons in the public interest" to do so. This is because we already have a U.S. Refugee Admission Program.

Parole was meant to be used sparingly. In most previous administrations, only a few hundred foreigners were approved each year after their applications were carefully reviewed. But Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been paroling pretty much everyone who turns up at (or over) the border. Once an alien is paroled, DHS feeds federal money to compliant charities and advocacy groups to buy phones, provide social services, and transport them all over the country. Biden apparently believes he can use parole at will—to allow millions of foreigners to enter the U.S.—without consulting Congress at all.

Close the parole loophole. Let the Refugee Admission Program do its job and leave BP to its. Mandate that NO unauthorized immigrant can be released into the US without finalization from the refugee admissions program first. Until that case is finalized the person asserting a refugee claim must remain outside the US. Entering the US prior to that finalization is an unlawful act which prohibits the unauthorized immigrant from being granted refugee status.
 
HR2 is a great bill. The Republicans should not accept any bill that doesn’t include these HR2 provisions:

(Sec. 102) This section requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume all activities related to constructing a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that were underway or planned prior to January 20, 2021.

(Sec. 101) This section expands provisions that bar certain individuals from applying for asylum.

Currently, an individual may not apply for asylum if that individual may be removed to a third country (i.e., a country that is not the applicant's country of nationality or last habitual residence) if that third country has (1) a full and fair asylum process that the individual could use, and (2) an agreement with the United States allowing for such removals. This section expands this provision by authorizing removal to third countries that do not have an agreement with the United States.

This section also bars an individual from applying for asylum if the individual traveled through at least one third country before arriving in the United States, with certain exceptions (e.g., the individual applied for and was denied asylum in that third country).

(Sec. 102) This section modifies the standard for establishing an asylum applicant's credible fear of persecution.

Specifically, to find credible fear, an asylum officer must find that the applicant could more likely than not establish eligibility for asylum. Currently, an asylum officer must conclude that there is a significant possibility that the applicant could establish eligibility for asylum.

(Sec. 103) This section limits asylum eligibility to individuals who arrived in the United States at a port of entry.

(Sec. 104) This section expands the types of crimes that may make an individual ineligible for asylum, such as a conviction for (1) a misdemeanor relating to the unlawful possession or use of an identification, (2) an offense for driving while intoxicated causing another person's serious bodily injury or death, or (3) any felony.

This section further expands this bar to asylum eligibility by broadening the definition of felony to include any crime that is punishable by more than one year of imprisonment. (Some states have misdemeanors that are punishable by imprisonment of more than a year.) Currently, a felony is generally not a bar against asylum eligibility, though certain felonies, such as one for a particularly serious crime, would bar an individual if the individual constitutes a danger to the community.

(Sec. 201) This section expands the category of non-U.S. nationals who are subject to expedited removal (i.e., removal without further hearing or review) and addresses related issues.

Specifically, this section requires expedited removal for individuals who are unlawfully present or who unlawfully entered the United States. (Currently, DHS may, but is not required to, apply expedited removal to unlawfully present individuals who have been physically present in the United States for less than two years.)

I’ve been preaching that since Biden overturned Trump’s remain in Mexico policy.

The left would have you believe that we have to accept anyone who crosses our border illegally.
 
Lively meeting this morning. Lots of good information.

1. Biden CANNOT nationalize the Texas Guard without express written permission of Gov. Abbot. Odds on that anyone?

Biden CAN invoke the Insurrection Act and send regular military. The only quick response unit the Army has is one Battalion of the 82nd Airborne. (18 hours from call up to on the scene.)

2. The Texas Guard consists of 1 Infantry Division with all ancillary support units. 1 Armored Brigade with support units. 1 Fighter Wing, 1 Attack Wing, 1 Airlift Wing with tankers and some ad hoc Special Warfare units.

I hope Biden's handlers don't do something stupid just to flex their muscles while hiding behind desks.

The other option is to keep them in a facility for seven years.

Mexico refused to take them anymore, not to mention many were killed with that approach.

There is no easy fix here. From what I gather, the right would just line them all up and shoot them or deport them all regardless of their migration status.....nothing is practical

1. This is just a talking point the right is using to get their base more riled up. There is no indication that the administration is even considering anything of the sort.

Biden‘s misplaced bravado, acting without thinking now has himself painted into a corner.

Spread the word we won’t allow access into our country and the caravans stop, simple as that.

Texas is interfering in federal business. Biden is acting as any President should.

Oversimplifying the problem doesn't fix the problem.
