@Sandra72 wait in Mexico. Long lines in the heat. Closed legal entry ports. Dogs and cops on horseback...

@Roundandroundwego remain in Mexico I believe was the policy that Biden ended

@Sandra72 However many people crossed the border uner Biden, millions were deported, and millions more requested asylum. Allowing and investigating asylum requests is not a crime, it's a policy.
Our asylum laws need to be overhauled. They date back to Reagan who was a big big fan of immigration and was using our asylum laws to spit in the eye of Fidel Castro.
For decades, US immigration law and policy was designed to spit in the eye of Fidel Castro by treating everyone who set foot on Florida as an asylum seeker. This helped earn votes from a swing demographic in a swing state.
And, by law, people at the border can STILL request asylum. And it's a long involved process and they get entry awaiting their decision in 12 or 24 months.
That's the law. That's the law that needs fixing. AND, the Senate, in early 2024, produced a bipartisan bill to greatly streamline the asylum process. You remember what happened to that bill, right? Trump squashed it. The asylum issue has a fix and Trump doesn't want it implemented. SAD!

@Sandra72 Trump is changing Biden's policies so the people who got in through legal channels are suddenly finding themselves undocumented. People who went to school under Biden's programs, got jobs and had children.
So I'm gonna ask again, which programs of Biden's were illegal?
You can't say open borders if Biden had policies in place to accept immigrants doing it the right way.
This is called a contradiction, two of those statements can't be true. You can't have open borders and Biden's policies that allowed people to come through legally.

Flo, 31, had gone from a bleak future in Haiti to hope for a new life; she had landed a cashier’s job in her new city of Miami after coming to the country legally with a sponsor. Then, President Donald Trump declared that she and more than 1 million other people did not have legal permission to stay in the country.

“If you’re looking for the definition of ‘self-fulling prophesy,’ look no further than Trump’s stream of policies that intentionally take legal status away from people so they go from being documented, to undocumented and then are fair game for being deported,” said Angela Kelley, an adviser at the American Immigration Lawyers Association and a former senior adviser on immigration for the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration.
“The Trump administration is creating a larger class of undocumented people by literally de-legalizing them and taking away their work authorization early,” Karen Tumlin, founder and director of Justice Action Center, said in a statement.

In Haiti, Flo was working to help youth in need and had returned to school to finish her university studies in psychology. But she saw no future for her and her young daughter and no chance to build a life.
She was living in rural Fort Liberté, in the northern part of the country, where violence was not as bad as in Port-au-Prince but where gangs were beginning to extend their reach, she told NBC News in her native Creole.
“I felt like I was just existing. There was no future — you can’t build anything, not even save enough to buy a car. Some people had it even worse — no food or shelter ... There is truly no future,” she said.
Flo was sponsored to come to the U.S. by her aunt, making it possible for her to work in the U.S. and also support her daughter and family in Haiti.
“It felt like a second chance at life. I’m someone who likes to work and has strong willpower. It was a new experience and a new beginning,” Flo said.

@ElwoodBlues I think as someone mentioned you can't expect them to read. It's why they over simplify everything
