When I hear the rhetoric from many conservatives I have to believe that they would force people back into a burning building rather that allow them to break curfew. If you and your family were facing starvation and being constantly threatened and robbed by gangs, and your own government and police were powerless to help, who would not try to run to safety? But, when Biden (or Obama before that) proposes to spend money to try to help deal with those problems so people will be able to stay home, all we hear from politicians catering to the Trump base is "America First" and complaining about spending money on other countries.

They are fleeing corrupt and violent military regimes, many with a history of being supported by the US. They are fleeing out-of-control gang violence, largely fueled by American demand for narcotics. The journey is incredibly dangerous, and they are not at all assured of success. Would it not be more effective to figure out why so many people are fleeing their homes to come to a distant country? Few people leave home on a whim, just for a change of scenery. What power does any administration have to force people to stay home and not try to come here? Does the US have police powers in Guatemala (as an example)? Do we run the military in Mexico? How, exactly, is Biden supposed to intercept people and turn them back before they reach US soil? The Biden administration (really, Biden personally) is being blamed for people trying to come to the US. Your petition will be adjudicated and a decision made, but no laws have been broken just by asking for asylum.Ģ. However it is perfectly legal to present yourself at a border crossing and ask for asylum.
As far as the Trump administration and its supporters are concerned there is no real distinction, they seem to hate everybody who wants to come to this country (with the possible exception of white Europeans especially from Norway). The chart shows total migrant arrivals, which lumps together legal and "illegal" arrivals. Every time I see a chart like this I wonder about a couple of things:ġ.
