if you claim asylum while sneaking in you've

broken the law rather than having claimed it at a port of entry or in the 1st safe nation you encounter which would be Mexico.

if you sneak in you are breaking the law.

they are enforcing current immigation law rather than expanding barry's catch and release.

you know full well that existing law prohibits keeping the kids with the adults, who are being prosecuted, and from keeping the kids more than 20 days.

keeping families together during the adjudication process is the correct answer but until the law has changed the EO is in conflict with it.

so unless you approve of presidents ruling by EO then Congress needs to change the law.

you can say trump's policy of ending catch and release has exacerbated the issue. I would counter with Barry's catch and release policy incentivized and exacerbated the issue to begin with.

and while Barry did catch and release 80% he also prosecuted the other 20% including some who had families. so if you want to argue the scope of the problem is worse now you'd be correct. but also keep in mind something like a 400% increase in family apprehensions has occurred in the last year. so numbers are up due to the influx as well.

there is blame to go around and it's not nearly as black and white as you'd like it to be and most certainly doesn't fall exclusively on trump.

but I will fault his administration and thus him for not thinking this one through completely. I have no issues with his ending the catch and release sham where 60% to 70% of the illegals never show up for their hearing. But if you're going to do that then have the necessary resources in place before you enact that policy.

all this faux outrage is ridiculous
