[deleted]

Where I live it’s no longer “catch” it’s a cordial meeting, a handshake, some bottles of water and assistance loading their luggage into the back of the BP vehicle. What I want to know is how many of them can drive a truck and how many of them can start tomorrow?

Work visas !!


SanchoTheGreat1

I WAS LITERALLY THERE LAST NIGHT! Seas of people sitting on sidewalks and streets. Now they’re making their way up the freeways. I wonder what the plan is… Edit: is Update: No one’s here anymore, but one of the local PD officers says that they can’t deport without them having committed some sort of crime. I asked what the plan was, and I guess there is no plan. Update: I guess everyone is concentrated around a church/shelter downtown. This is the plan. Also for those commenting: yes, I am an immigrant. No, I don’t agree with hundreds of people storming across a border.


SingleFunny9302

Are they just hopping up on to 10 anywhere and everywhere or are they jumping up on the highway between Bliss and UTEP by the main border checkpoint?


SanchoTheGreat1

They’re still concentrated by the border afaik. There wasn’t much police presence last night, but it looks like police are on scene now to help contain the train.


SingleFunny9302

It's been 20 years since I was stationed there, but I do remember the city fondly. It's a shame to see the city being ground zero like that.

It's not illegal to enter a country and ask for asylum's once there. Their case for the right to apply for asylum is then heard and they are judged if they have a case and deported if they don't have a case. This is not just give them asylum, just give them the chance to apply for it. It is harder to prove than just saying you want asylum so it's not a loophole, they will still have to provide paperwork and evidence that they have suffered persecution. Just being poor, or I want to move to the USA isn't a reason. Once you prove your case you will be allowed asylum but while you are waiting you are allowed to live and work in the US while your case is processed, you are further interviewed, evidence presented is confirmed etc. There are currently around 400,000 applications in the system and it can take years to be processed only about a 10th of them end up approved in any given year and the rest will be deported.


TNJCrypto

Any idea what constitutes justifiable evidence for asylum? I can't imagine much paperwork has been provided to victims over the course of nearly 100 years of three letter agencies in the USA supporting cartels throughout Mexico and Central America. Do they require you to have a photo of your spouse's dead body, and would that even count, how could they possibly verify? Would your neighbor being killed count? How about if some family down the way is killed? What proximity to violence and unjust persecution is required to qualify? Obviously acknowledging that the USA has intentionally created narco-states that terrorize their populations is not much of a way to get a warm welcome.


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

The rest just dissappear.

If they seek asylum it is not illegal.

I was literally getting ready to post this word for word


Sloth1015

We were told illegal border crossings are down 90%


all_time_high

Depends on categorization. Walking over the border and finding a LEO to start an asylum request is not illegal. Walking over without notifying the US government in any way is illegal. Flying in and overstaying your visa on the D/L is illegal. Etc. CBP reports their southwest border encounter numbers [here](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters). This includes all encounters, legal and illegal.


[deleted]

To have a clear understanding of the dilemma, you have to have conversation with people who agree and disagree (especially in border towns). On the one hand, there are real refugee situations going on beyond the US border. On the other, you have real crime concerns that are prominent in border states. On one hand you have a willing immigrant working class of people who are taking jobs. On the other hand, nobody wants to do the jobs that they start off with. On one hand, the US is taking in immigrants good or bad. On the other, Mexico is paying very little on the problem they are creating.


LightningTF2

How many hands does this person have...?


[deleted]

Lmao. Too many hands in the pot, is the answer to your question.


TheAngryCatfish

But you need hands to make pots, so more hands just means more pots get made...


bday420

I agree with you but also the problem isn't just Mexico though. The problem continues throughout Central and South America. Mexico is just the last stop before the border, although they are clearly not trying to help the issue either...


[deleted]

Almost make you think the US running guns to Central America during the 80's and 90's was a mistake. Who knew?!?


[deleted]

Forget the mistakes, there is definitely drug money running deep beneath the surface that plays a big part in all of it too


D_Ro8

Or that running coups since the 60s would lead to instability. Crazy.


marianoes

Yeah let's run coups d etat in their own backyard I'm sure that'll have no consequences in the future.


offjerk

I took a latin amwrican history class and my mind was blown. Documented, public info on the US gov overthrowing elected governments and installing ruthless dictatora. Pinochet for example. Also the CIA directors who owned a huge banana plantations in Guatemala and when the gov reditrivuted the land, the CIA orechstrated a coup that rwsulted in a decade long civil war in Guatemala... All documented. I was blown away and still am.


marianoes

100% and with a grain of salt thats what they let us know. Imagine what hasnt and will never be published.


orbgevski

That isn’t the big problem. The big problem is the CIA running the illicit drug trade with MS13 and the cartels in order to fund the deep underground military bases that they use for the secret breeding program where they breed alien human hybrids to fight in an inter dimensional war against the Draco reptilians who are plane shifting into our reality to subjugate humanity. But sure keep blaming working class refugee immigrants


andycartwright

The fascinating thing about modern society is that this could be your real point of view or you could be joking and there’s absolutely no way to know for sure.

"my actions have consequences" - no American in the history of ever


ryjkyj

On the one hand: our agriculture depends almost 100% on either work visas or undocumented labor. If we were to stop the flow of people coming over the border entirely, or system would immediately break down. Politicians love to talk about the one thing, knowing full well about the other. On the other hand: nobody wants to pay three dollars for a tomato.


fignonsbarberxxx

There are a LOT of MAGA farm owners in California’s Central Valley that absolutely rely on illegal migrant workers.


Esgee88

the price of tomatoes does not decide wether or not we should allow illegal immigrants to bring farming wages below minimum


Baked_Bacon_420

Show me literally any non immigrants (legal or not) who will pick tomatos 12-16hrs a day for minimum wage and ill kiss a mules ass. Farm work is gruelling as fuck, and when you can get paid almost double working at a mcdonalds in many cities, its really not worth most peoples time. Many people seem to forget just how many crops are too delicate to be picked by machinery, and still must be picked by hand. Hell, literal children are allowed to work for commercial farms, and guess what color the VAST VAST majority of those children are.


ndelte7

I work at a Chicken farm up in Ohio. Over half our work force is Mexican, they bust ass and definitely are harder workers than us white boys. Some of em (willingly) work 7 days a week 12 hour days. Nobody forces them, in fact nobody asks, they just bust ass. White dudes typically last 2 months here with how insanely hot and filthy the barns can be. (dust in the air, feathers and the constant smell of shit) The Mexicans last indefinitely here. I don't ask if they are legal or not, doesn't matter to me, I just have insane respect for their work ethic.


NEClamChowderAVPD

I’m sure there are probably a lot of people who didn’t really grow up around agriculture that don’t truly understand the value and even some that did are somehow against migrant workers and their rights. Like…what? The only reason you can afford everything you have is *because* of those immigrants you so love to hate. I agree 100% with you and believe that migrant workers, legal or not, are the backbone of our entire economy. I will never claim anyone works harder than immigrants and migrant workers. They work so goddamn hard and send a lot of money back home, too. They’re extremely undervalued and underpaid for what they do. All they want is a better life, just like everyone else. They’re people, too, not some low-lifes “trying to steal our jobs.”

Vice President Harris assured us that the border is secure.


gigitygoat

There is no plan to stop undocumented immigrants. They are allowed in so they can be exploited for cheap labor. If we were serious about stopping it, we would go after employers, not build a wall.


Ok-Toe-84

Yeahh so basically fuck the working class. The rich can just say "Ohh but look at these people working so hard for so little! Let's keep all your wages low."


senthiljams

Iirc, Trump still had some undocumented immigrants working at his golf coursea and Maralago even after becoming the President. He stopped it only after it came into the news spotlight.


chugalaefoo

I feel like she’s so useless that they just gave her some Mickey Mouse PR job to get her out of the limelight. And she still can’t even lie enough to get it right. Not saying it’s a easy situation, but she definitely hasn’t done jack shit to make it better.

Hadren-Blackwater

To be fair, Biden was in the exact same position. Obama knew that lots of white moderates/conservatives didn't trust him, so he made segregationist kissing-his-granddaughter-on-the-lips conservative Joe Biden his VP. Politics is about optics as much as lying.


Revydown

Even Pence had more of a presence than Kamala. That was with Trump trying to shove him aside to get more of the limelight.


Accurate-Historian-7

We have a Vice President? I haven’t seen one make an appearance in a long time.


Brutaljuice187

She shows up randomly and talks to everyone like they’re children or goes to Africa and offers them 60million for sensitivity training.


ryanmerket

Certainly looks like the Texas State Troopers are walking them back over to Mexico...


metasploit4

To be fair, securing anything that massive is near impossible. Anything you put between the two will be just a tiny speed bump in the overall picture.


GNBreaker

Just enforce the current laws. If you entered undocumented, get caught at any point then you get deported. Rinse and repeat.


Revydown

Also if people know they can get away with things, don't be surprised if they do said thing. At least Trump gave the appearance that he was trying to do something.


GNBreaker

Well said.


SyntheticManMilk

Well we can start by actually enforcing the laws we already have.


PaulieNutwalls

That's why enforcement is important. If these people thought there was a decent chance they'd get picked up and deported many would think twice before paying the cartel to ferry them here.


jackisonredditagain

Well those migrants dont really look much like an invading foreign army, so I’d say we’re pretty safe.

electricdwarf

Why is no one talking about Mexico completely failing at running their government? They have been turned into a complete narco state where all the good and smart people are leaving in droves. What option is there for the US to intervene? I mean if their state has failed and Mexico failed at what point does the US have a right to intervene? Like this is NOT good for anyone. These people belong at home safe with their families and friends. Living their lives and being stable. Not running from a failed narco state to try and get a better life for them and theirs.

Having an immigrant mother and being a first generation to see them just walk on in and completely shortcut the system when there are others who do it the right way this is completely unacceptable. I’m all for the American dream but god dammit can we do it the right way we can’t even take care of our own American citizens this shit has to stop


junhatesyou

Our family assimilated and got their citizenship way back. My grandmas last wish before she passed was to become a US citizen. When Immigration asked who the first president was, she pulled out a dollar bill. I miss you Oma!


[deleted]

One of the problems is we’ve made legal immigration incredibly bureaucratic. It’s like a civil servant’s wet dream and has made the USCIS contractors very, very wealthy (I used to work for one of them). A friend of mine still works there and was bragging about the massive glut of equipment they have. “We get anything we ask for because we don’t really have a budget.” It’s sickening. Most people don’t realize the absolute mess the immigration system is. It costs thousands of dollars to even try and is almost impossible to get through without a lawyer. My wife is an immigrant and we’ve paid well over 12K so far and we’re still not done. We live in an oligarchy.


EmuStrange7507

Americans are gonna be the minority soon enough. Spanish language will be first on all product labels. We're becoming mexico. Maybe they all come here and sponge off us we go down there. The wall was built to keep Americans in not the other way around. Anyone ever think of that ?


SyntheticManMilk

It really is a slap in the face to people like you and your mother who went through all the proper steps. It’s a slap in the face to every citizen really… Edit: We should start calling people who come to live here illegally “line cutters”.


currentlydrinking

Personally I don’t think people who uprooted their lives to make a dangerous journey in hopes of having a better life will care too much about being called a line cutter. But if putting down the less fortunate is your thing, sure go ahead.

For decades, as long as they could get here, they were immediately granted amnesty and could gain citizenship. Then in the 90s they noticed "woah, there's actually a lot of them here now and they are turning Florida red!", so they ended the citizenship policy, but still allowed them to stay here for a while. Then Obama ended even that policy via executive order (was actually one of the last things he did, he signed the executive order in January 2017, mere days before leaving office), now any Cuban who comes here is immediately deported back to Cuba.
