A majority of Trump backers say more immigrants would make life worse for people like them, while most Harris backers say life wouldn’t change.

    Border security is still the bullshit band aid to avoid actually fixing the problem. We created, funded and armed the cartels, overturned their governments, and destabilized their countries. And now we’re trying to pretend all this blowback has nothing to do with us.

    A lot of the problems with immigration stem from the fact that asylum seekers can’t apply for asylum until they’re present on US soil.

    If we made it so they could apply locally through their embassy or (GASP!) online(!) then they could just come here legally.

    This is a self imposed problem on our part.

      A vast majority need to do this because the governments where they are from will literally shoot them if they stay.

      Not denying that there are problems, but this particular rule isn’t unique to the US.

      See Canada, https://www.unhcr.ca/in-canada/seeking-asylum-in-canada/

      To apply for asylum, you must be physically present in Canada or be seeking entry into the country at a port of entry

      And Sweden, https://help.unhcr.org/sweden/asylum/

      Please note that you must be in the territory of Sweden, or at a port of entry (an airport, land border crossing check point or seaport) before you can apply for asylum in Sweden.

      That being the case, I guess I’m curious as to why this seems to be the international norm, and why countries seem to shy away in general from the idea that you are proposing (or perhaps I’m mistaken and there are countries which have already adopted your idea - in which case I’d be even more curious to see how it’s been going for them).

        Canada likely doesn’t have the same sort of problem because immigrants from other countries would either have to come in by plane or boat, or would have to enter the US first.

        Same deal with Sweden, they don’t share a border with a country from which people are fleeing.

          I know less about Sweden.

          For Canada, it was a very significant issue though, to the point that this got enacted: https://cgrs.uclawsf.edu/news/canada-upholds-safe-third-country-agreement-us

          IOW refugees who entered from the US aren’t allowed to make claims. (An exception exists for refugees who manage to get into Canada while evading detection and only apply after two weeks, IIRC.) So instead of making it easier, they made it harder. And keep in mind this is Canada, which already allows you apply for visitor permits, student permits, work permits, and even permanent residence/express entry online!

          In fact as per https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/asylum/claim-protection-inside-canada/apply.html you can already apply online for refugee status in Canada - provided you are physically in Canada when you apply.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
