I was wrong... Children shouldn’t be separated from their families upon entering US illegally

Then recalibrate. Just saying something is not correct does not make a discussion.

I already did. Here is my post # 40.

No, that's not right. I discussed this with another poster the other day. "First safe country" refers to an agreement between Canada and the US, an informal agreement among the G20, and a ruling by the EU's supreme court. It has nothing to do with the issues at the US's southern border.

Out of honest curiosity, where did you hear this?

So if a family jaywalks and is caught, would you have them forcibly separated? See, I don't think y'all's underlying motivation is the law. I think you use the law as smokescreen for...something else. You're probably a smart guy; you can figure out what that something else is without my help.

At least you admit your cold-heartedness.

If they were not in the US illegally in the first place there would be no issue. Interesting how you support illegals.

Nope. As has been clearly pointed out to you, the issue is not the law but the cruel manner of enforcement. Are you in favor of ripping families apart?

Interesting how you support illegals.

"Illegal" is an adjective. Fix your grammar.

No... they should be sent back to Mexico City, or the other nearest port of entry in Mexico, where they can apply for asylum there.

That is international law.

They must apply at the “first safe country”.

Mexico comes before the US.

Send the families back to Mexico.

That is their language and culture. From there, they can visit one of our friendly US Embassies, and apply for entry to the US if they so chose.

You are a smart man.

Send them back, but only after they have completed our legal system. You just can't send them back 5 minutes after they arrive.
How is the Democratic Party responsible for the debt this administration has incurred?

No need for the legal system. Send them back to Mexico. They can apply for asylum there.

Canada is considering bailing on that agreement. We've been getting so many refugees crossing from the US that our facilities and personnel can't cope with the flood.

ROTFLOL... too bad... eh?

And you folks have what... 40 refugees?

If you believe Mexico is so safe, then why are you so prone to turning away their immigrants?

We have the right to, control who enters.

Illegals are... illegal.

Time to send them back to Mexico. They can apply for asylum there.

Tell me, Zimmer, what will be the process for that?

If I'm a Latin American-looking man caught illegally crossing the border and I tell border patrol that I'm from Mexico, when I'm really from Honduras, what then?

You can deal with the Mexican authorities... and convince them... you really are Mexican.

I guess I stumped you with that one being that you didn't even answer it. :lol:

We are a country of laws, and of course you support our following those laws- right?

If I were a clear thinking, honest individual... which I am...

...You want asylum, go to the nearest safe country.

Why should Mexicans have a right to invade the US? We have embassies for those who would like to come to the US.

ROTFLOL... a strange admission for a Leftist.

What is a leftist, son? Am I some kind of a far left wing radical because I favor the following of American laws?
I always thought your political party was that of law and order..................

IDK what a citizen of Mexico would say about the subject. Playing your what if, If I were a US citizen of Mexican decent I would say send them back. Want to bet that the word is out that all they have to do is claim asylum to tie up the courts in the US.

What Mexicans are you talking about? Can we see them?

Are you going to answer my question? If you were Mexican, would you say (as you said), "Time to send them back to Mexico. They can apply for asylum there."?
