Immigration all comes back to Congress. Congress passed the law which includes amnesty. They get to the border from a troubled country and request amnesty, they get to stay until there is a hearing before a judge.Feds refuse to enforce that law for economic reasons the same as immigration laws are not enforced.
Congress, won’t budget for more judges, or enough funds to keep humane holding centers until aa decision is made. So, there is a long wait time in the US. If Congress funds enough Judges, the hang time in the US would be brought down to days instead of months and years.
And many of the current wave coming from Central America are a direct effect of us interfering with their governmental processes for century. Remember the Iran Contra debacle with Ollie claiming that Ronald Reagan had sent him. That was about, selling missiles to Iran, so they could generate money to fund rRight wing militias in South America. We destroyed the government, resulting in a power vacuum which the Gangs could occupy.
The core leadership of MS13, are American trained. The leader was trained in Counterterrorism, at the College of the Americas. And if you know counterterrorism, you know how to be a terrorist. The rest of them learned how to be gang bangers, in California, before we deported them as undesirable aliens. At which point they used the skills learned here to form a very powerful gang at home.
If you mess up a country so badly that the citizens are not safe, you need to either go fix the problem you created, or provide safe haven to those fleeing the mess you made. Probably ought to do both.
I guess I’m old school enough to feel people should be responsible for the consequences of their actions.
Problem is that the folks who feel like I do, don’t seem to realize exactly how much, and how long the US Government has messed around in other nations affairs in support of our big businesses.
