    It appears as though you would like to exclude certain facts from the discussion. Here are the facts you are working hard to avoid addressing. Illegal immigration provides a steady source of income to cartels. True or false?

    Our discussion was about the legal path of requesting asylum. One you keep running from.

    Correction. Migrants going through the asylum process enter through ports of entry. Illegal aliens do not. They are illegal aliens according to the law. There is a legal way to entry the country. Every other ways is, well, illegal.

    The legal path for requesting asylum occurs at ports of entry. Almost every requester is illegal.

    The big issue though is that most are either entering through legal ports of entry or overstaying their visa.

    Something needs to be done about all 3 items

    Almost 9 million have entered illegally just since Biden took office. Most enter illegally. We have immigration laws for good reason. We just need to enforce them. Immigration law says that illegal entrants must be returned to the other side of the border. We have a record of people overstaying a visa. We don't even know where those 9 million people are or who they are.

    I realize that these facts need to be omitted from the discussion in order to make a case that incentivizing illegal immigration is from a position of genuine concern for humanity.

    For 75th time, it’s not illegal to request asylum at a POE.

    I gave you credit for that 75 times ago. Are you saying that 100% are coming through a POE?

    Am I to ignore that these policies are responsible for massive suffering? You never answered:

    What can we expect moving forward?
    What was my "real concern?"

    Legal entry causes suffering?

    Already answered with a link. post 168

    Getting back to the incentives we are discussing here today, could it be that it is actually making life worse for people?
