I believe they should be paying for their chance at asylum.  The government should not be giving them anything.  They should not be eligible for any government provided anything for 10 years or more.  We have limited resources.  We have 300+ million people here now unlike when the statue of liberty was given to us by France when we were less than 100 million with near limitless, at the time, land for the taking(stake your claim just as civil war was ending).

The government isn't giving the homeless free lodging, food, medical care, (tent city.jpg from san fran, seattle, dfw, houston, etc, etc)so why should we provide for non-citizens and those that are not worthy of amnesty?  I know my non-bleeding heart opinion isn't shared here.

They are free to leave the facilities if they want, back across the border.  Concentration camp detainees are not free to leave.

once again, my mind is blown. 

are these human beings? should we treat them humanely? are we choosing inhumanity over humanity? currently, yes. there is an administration lawyer arguing that these children, separated from their families, should not be given toothbrushes or soap. 

who is in charge of that funding? who decided to slash that funding that is short? 

these people have next to nothing, and zork here wants to CHARGE THEM FOR THEIR OWN IMPRISONMENT.

jesus shitdicks. that's all you all are.

are these asylum seekers human beings? just answer that. fucking hell.

EXCLUSIVE: Polish MP Invites AOC for Educational Visit to REAL Concentration Camps

“As you should be aware, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) who led Germany, were responsible for the darkest period in my country’s and our whole continent’s history by devising a chain of concentration camps in order to exterminate those who they believed were subhuman, or a threat to their imperialistic machinations- this included both Jewish Poles and non-Jewish Poles and as a result we lost six million of our citizens.

“While under German Nazi occupation, a number of concentration camps were set up in my country, Poland. It has caused a deep wound that persists on our proud Polish and European history that we must deal with every single day, and that we reaffirm to one another can never be forgotten, and never allowed to happen again.

“This is why when someone cheapens the history, or uses it for political point-scoring, we become agitated and upset.”

They are free to wait on the Mexican side of the border if they so choose but instead are choosing to be given free room, board and government medical care in the detention facilities while their claims are vetted and processed. 

The United States signed an international treaty decades ago that agrees to take in and process asylum claims, regardless of their origin. Part of that treaty was that asylum applicants are not restricted on where they could seek asylum. That's literally the law.

I’d think internment camps would be sufficient language and historical use from the 40s here along with its own stigma. 

I do think there is a distinction and it’s not without a difference. 

But whatever they are, the conditions for the occupants are substandard for the United States. 

Why do the families need to be separated? Why can’t they have soap?  Why does it take as long as it does to process these people?

are we trying to scare people into not asking for asylum?

Is that for asylum seekers?  Do you have the main link for the article that is included with?  The graph I posted and linked via an article is about asylum seekers and the percentages of the total by year from 2000 through 2016 IIRC.

Humans who have the choice to stay to try for asylum or go.  If they choose to try the asylum route then they have to be vetted and processed since 50% won't be accepted and separated since 20-30% are bringing in children, potentially trafficking, not related to the adult traveling with them.  

The numbers are increasing within the last year or so.  Mexico must be a real shit-hole if these human people would knowingly choose a death camp concentration facility, albeit with free food, medical, housing, over staying put there while they wait on the hundreds of thousands of cases in front of them.  

Personally I'd rather pay more for avocados and have less burden on the border communities and elsewhere where the asylum seekers are dropped off after acceptance of their lottery plight.  A plight that costs the taxpayers on average $75K+ per refugee for their first five years of care/support/welfare/transfer payments.  Come if you can pay your own way, fuck this shit:

Quote

• The cost per refugee to American taxpayers just under $79,600 in the first five years after a refugee is resettled in the U.S.;
• In 2016, the State Department spent nearly $545 million to process and resettle refugees, including $140,389,177 on transportation costs;
• Of the $1.8 billion in resettlement costs, $867 billion was spent on welfare alone;
• In their first five years, approximately 54 percent of all refugees will hold jobs that pay less than $11 an hour;
• $71 million will be spent to educate refugees and asylum-seekers, a majority of which will be paid by state and local governments.
• Over five years, an estimated 15.7 percent of all refugees will need housing assistance, which is roughly $7,600 per household in 2014 dollars.

https://www.fairus.org/issue/legal-immigration/fiscal-cost-resettling-refugees-united-states

 

We don't owe these people, these humans, $75K+ per person(over their first five years per person on average).  We don't, or shouldn't. 

But I'm the bad guy for thinking that.  It doesn't say on the statue of liberty that we should pay their way after they get here, but apparently we are.  And that is why they are streaming into the country.  Why some, many, more if they knew how much it was costing us, are against it.

well shit, that didn't paste right.   my point is that it's not really that bad.  it's not the crisis everyone thinks it is or panics about or is afraid of.   basically the first half of that graph is the bush years, after the gridline is the Obama years, and then after the second gridline is the trump years.  as you can see, it's nothing to get hysterical about.  trump could have fear mongered with abortion, or regulations or any other issue but he chose Mexicans to take a stand against.
