Caravan

We choose to treat the children and families like this as a means of deterrence.  So before they even start, they think about what they are going into.  Says a lot about what they are trying to escape.   America and the way they know they will be treated is still the lesser evil.   So they try.  What should they do?  Leave their kids behind?  Who takes care of them then?  Will they even survive?  Say they get in and accepted as asylum refugees, how long are they going to have to work to pay the travel costs of bringing their kids here to them, not to mention the legal and governmental fees for doing that?  So yeah, they don't have much choice on bringing them into this mess or not. 

 

Then you have this group who denies what they are escaping, or claims others are jumping into the caravan for an easy entry, not really asylum seekers.  Maybe there are a few.  Take them in and figure out later through due process who stays and who doesn't.

I think it is damned sad that the whole country of 300 million people is at each other's throats about this group of 8,000 unarmed people trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.  It shows a total lack of self awareness for us to be willing to gas them, instead of fixing the system that handles this.  We are no longer the nation of problem solvers. 

Nobody sane wants open borders.  Background checks, character references, personal interviews to determine education, skill, and health levels should be done.  But then I find it ironic that those who fear immigrants also fear background checks and other measures to insure responsible gun purchases.   But they need those guns to protect themselves from the immigrants, right?   MS 13 and all. 

Sorry, but it blows my mind how this admin stirs all this shit up and doesn't even attempt to find a long term solution.  Just shut the borders down, fuckall the people who make a legitimate living trading or working across the border.   No, we need to set up a spectacle so we can look strong, while Putin fucks over his neighbors.  Red herrings are this admin's specialty.

Not to mention the Russian oligarchs sending the wives of their henchmen here to have anchor babies.  But hey, they pay well, right?

what a load of horse shit

The overwhelming vast majority of people in the caravan are single men, the women/family angle is a very small portion

wanting a better life/job while commendable is not asylum eligible, get inline with the rest of them

its 8000 today who knows how many more tomorrow to join the estimated 15+ million here already 

We do fbi background checks on gun purchases

The rules are that you apply for asylum in the first safe country...aka Mexico.

But we are letting them apply for asylum.  They just need to wait their turn.  It's not a free for all.  If they meet the criteria,then let them stay.  It's not hard.

I think you're conflating two different issues.  One is what to do with asylum seekers once they are in the system.  The other is how to treat people who are literally breaking through the border illegally.

I'm for keeping families together in the former situation, and firing tear gas, water canons, etc., for the later.

If that makes me a heartless bastard, then so be it.  

Contrary to popular Surly belief, there is an asylum system in place.  You may think it's antiquated and inefficient, to which I agree, but it does exist and should be adhered to by both the US and the asylum seekers until Congress gets off it's ass and changes it.

I generally agree with this take.  And your general take on immigration (reasonable work permits, tracking, taxing, etc.) is also very common-sense.  But also see below:

1 hour ago, Dahobbs said:

Agreed on this to an extent. But I'm confused by one point: Trump is literally preventing people from using the legally required method of claiming asylum by, among other things, closing the points of entry. While that may not justify breaking in, it sure as hell has to be considered when judging the actions of both the asylum seekers and the boarder patrol. Of course, I also take any statements made by this administration regarding immigrants and asylum seekers with about 20 spoonfuls of salt. You don't get to start a panic and then claim credit for breaking it up, which is what appears to me happened here. 

We, the U.S., are also acting in bad-faith here.

There is a system in place.  We should operate it -- properly and humanely.  And if folks don't pass either the initial credible fear portion or the final asylum process, then back home they go.  But we shouldn't manufacture a crisis where none need exist.  Seriously, even 8,000 people isn't some huge, unmanageable crush.  This should barely be a blip in our asylum application apparatus.  But it was manufactured to get the base frothing at the mouth.  And the tensions that are breaking out now are also manufactured.  If we simply had our regular asylum mechanisms in place, and told folks that it will remain as it has been, and they'll be reached in due time (but not an artificially lengthened time), then tensions would controlled easily.

Hell, look at Hayden's chart -- in the past decade, we've averaged around 60,000 refugee admissions per year.  It's just not that big an issue - it's .00017% of the US population being let in.  It's a demographic non-issue.

But that's not the game being played here.  Brown people are being used as a prop to further a nationalist, xenophobic agenda.  Stephen Miller is an evil little shit.  We're a dick country doing dick things because we're being run by fucking dicks.

Agree we should take those who deserve to cross. But I also think it would be a good idea to set up Asylum centers in Central America. Let the people apply and be processed there. Hell of a lot cheaper for them to do it there than coming up through Mexico. 

The UN or OAS can take the lead, let any country send people there to interview and process. During the 1980's quite a few Central Americans went to Australia and this trend continues today for certain South American countries. EU nations can participate. 

Each center should be a center for Multinational corporations that want to participate in a regional Marshall plan. Mexico and the US have started development initiatives in the region. These should be pushed.

Central America needs 1- Security, 2-Jobs, and 3- the capacity to kick the shit out of the Mara's which make today hell. While we are trying to rebuild parts of the world with little connection to the US we turned our back on our closest neighbors.

But we did.  What's done is done.

But "you break it, you bought it" comes to mind.  We have an obligation to work to cure the underlying ills that these folks are fleeing.  It's not even that expensive.  Hell, just refraining from fucking with these countries would be a strong step.  If we want to solve immigration on our southern border, it's interesting that the same thing is both the most effective AND most humane/decent option: help improve the countries people are running from so they won't flee them any longer.

Is there something specific you are referring to? Can you cite it? Because, I've looked, I really have no idea what you are talking about. 

Actually, I may have found it, but it seems you are misunderstanding the rule (http://theconversation.com/a-guide-to-the-geneva-convention-for-beginners-dummies-and-newly-elected-world-leaders-72155):

 

"During debates on asylum and asylum seekers it is often suggested that no one should claim asylum in the UK because the Geneva conventions (other treaties are sometimes cited, or the more vague international law) state that those fleeing must seek asylum in the 'first safe country' they come to, which would not normally be the UK. Is this true, or what is the legal position regarding this?"

* * *

The effect of the convention is that states are required to determine asylum claims made by anyone within their territory. The principal exception to this is where there is a safe third country to which the person can be sent in order for substantive consideration to be given to their claim. Removing a person to a safe third country will not engage the removing state's obligations under the convention unless doing so exposes the person to a real risk of refoulement.

There is no obligation under the refugee convention or any other instrument of international law that requires refugees to seek asylum in any particular country. There has, however, been a longstanding "first country of asylum" principle in international law by which countries are expected to take refugees fleeing from persecution in a neighbouring state. This principle has developed so that, in practice, an asylum seeker who had the opportunity to claim asylum in another country is liable to be returned there in order for his or her claim to be determined.

 

 

[InkaUtexas 25913]

Exactly. And concerning the 1980's, you can point at both sides of the Berlin Wall. The world is not a nice place, but the least we can do is clean it up when we leave. An interesting note, the final peace accords in El Salvador required the UN/EU to assist the development of a modern civil police force. This never happened. Nor did any reconstruction or investment. Sure, some say the Balkans took the world's attention at that time, but no one engaged. And the US dumping the gang bangers who grew up in LA back into their countries during the mid 1990's just added fuel to a simmering fire.

Well, considering that nearly 100% of families and children who have the benefit of legal counsel (a right guaranteed in our constitution, mind you) show up to their court hearings...

Quote

According to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), as of December 2017, 97 percent of represented mothers whose cases initiated in fiscal year (FY) 2014 were in compliance with their immigration court hearing obligations three years later.

Similarly, 98 percent of children in immigration proceedings whose cases initiated in 2014 and who had obtained counsel were in full compliance with their court appearance obligations as of December 2017.

TRAC data also showed, however, that 44% of mothers were not able to obtain legal counsel. Additionally, among the 57,678 cases of children that were filed before the immigration courts in 2014, 36 percent had not obtained legal representation by December 2017.

Human Rights First and other groups have noted numerous reasons that immigrants and asylum seekers often lack legal representation.

Many cannot afford legal counsel

There is only very limited government funding for legal representation.

Pro bono legal representation is scarce and over stretched.

Asylum and immigration laws are exceedingly complex, and without legal representation eligible indivuals often cannot satisfy the stringent legal and evidentiary requirements.

Statistics have shown that legal representation is the most important factor in determining whether an individual will succeed in their case.  

The Trump Administration and proponents of legislation that seeks to block funding for legal representation are trying to thwart access to counsel, which in turn will lead to lower appearance rates.

So basically, I'm arguing that the trump administration is purposely making this as impenetrable as possible so he can gin up a reason to treat this marginalized group as law breaking criminals, rather than scared helpless people.

Brave??? Shooting tear gas across a river at unarmed civilians is brave? What exactly would constitute cowardly?

Regardless, any Border Patrol agents, brave or otherwise, who fired tear gas should be prosecuted. As should anybody who ordered them to.
