Seeking asylum isn't illegal per se.

Or at least it isn't in a civilized fucking country.
I'm really trying to stay out of this lest I be accused of using my construction expertise to install the border wall personally but one of the biggest problems regarding Southern migration (and on a similar scale African migration to Europe) is that many asylum seekers wind up in reality simply being economic migrants using asylum claims as a facade. I'm not saying it's an overwhelming majority of people arriving on the southern border, or even a majority, but the difficulty in separating the two is a major issue when it comes to immigration policy and has led in part to the current situation on both continents.

I'm all for taking in a refugee quota as part of doing our global humanitarian duty but first-world nations have economic migration statutes in place for a reason and if we're just going to begin ignoring these laws our social systems are going to become even more strained than they already are.

Agreed and you didn't really even need to say this. But I'm of the mentality that "i'd rather a dozen guilty men go free than have one innocent man in jail" in regards to this. I don't want ANY true asylum seekers being turned back to their problems. If that means we gat taken advantage of a little, well than so be it. :noidea:

This can't be real, right?

Man the cops in Ukraine are really getting behind Trump's ideas of cracking down on illegal aliens!!


Also, anyone else notice that those cops struggled to handle that big galoot? They looked woefully unprepared to deal with the situation. That's why you don't send a bunch of wookies out without an experienced leader. :tsk:

The Judges would have also accepted the headline "White illegal immigrant in shelter doesn't have children taken from her"

Northern Sinaloa or Southern?

I've been to a few places but can't say I've been to any mines.

southern. flew into Mazatlan, and drove north-east for 3 or 4 hours iirc.
just when it started getting jungly and a bit mountainous.
hiked for 30 min after the road ended, and then down a cave.with a foot or two of guano on the floor
they were trying to reclaim an old flooded mine. don't know if they ever did get it up and running again.

Did your family come here illegally?
no idea. back in the day (and now too, i guess), you sort of showed up and figured it out.

my grandfather didn't have his plot of land assigned in advance, he hopped on a train from Montreal and went as far west as his $5 or 10 would take him. Would have ended up in BC if he had enough $, but ended up in northern Manitoba. A hard life, but it was a better opportunity than France had to offer.

my mom's older sister and husband came out first, and when she had saved enough to rent an apartment, sent for the rest of the family. 4 kids aged 12-22, one in-law, and the parents all living in a one bedroom apartment. again, it was better than the options in Holland at the time.

my wife's dad came out from Taiwan, and then sent for her and her mom the following year. Highly doubt they would have had anything other than tourist visas at the time, if that. Then her dad fucked off and abandoned them here. Wife was just a kid at the time, and her mom spoke no english, but worked three menial jobs to finally afford to buy a home.


all three had a dream, and worked their asses off for it. seems to be a common theme for immigrants.
