> And that's also why legal immigrant citizens moved to the right in recent years. They think it's messed up that they worked hard, paid a ton of money, followed all the rules, meanwhile random people from central America just hopped the fence and made up some story to claim asylum -- interesting that they crossed 4 countries before claiming asylum.
Yeah, you don't speak for me.
As a legal immigrant whose immigration to the US took several years and cost in the neighborhood of $30,000, I think it's messed up that it costs that amount of money to immigrate here, that pardoned J6 rioters are paid signing bonuses of $50,000 to be "law enforcement" and $5,000 per deportation to run around playing judge, jury, and in this case executioner, answerable to no-one, unbadged, masked and unidentifiable (because "fuck brown people/libs, amirite?"), because they run under a government entity that tells other government entities "fuck you, you can't tell me what to do".

Perhaps you should look at whether or not some of those countries have signed treaties on asylum seekers.
Why do those countries not take asylum seekers? I wonder if they think it's not up to other random countries to evacuate whole failed states, or that they have their own problems and don't need to be taking responsibility for those of other countries.
I think it's not generosity to give other people's money to 'asylum seekers.' On the other hand, individuals should be able to sponsor 'asylum seekers' as long as they personally pay for housing and feeding them, and those 'asylum seekers' keep a clean criminal record.
thank you
