I don’t want to bore everybody to death because people have heard this from me a million times, so I’ll answer briefly.
This is not a question of who but of how. I strongly believe that no immigration applications from people in the country illegally should be processed. In addition, I believe that no immigration applications should be processed at the border. People should apply for immigration through the embassies and consulates in their own countries. This way, people won’t have to cross countries and borders in horrific conditions, putting themselves at the mercy of traffickers and gangsters.
The process is broken. It puts migrants into terrible situations. It devastates the countries through which they march. It creates a permanent underclass in the US and destroys the economies and the communities that these migrants leave. The process must be fixed. This can be done cheaply and easily but absolutely no politician in the US is proposing to fix it.
If you stop trying to operate with primitive, screamy labels for a change, you might notice that my position is enormously more humane and respectful than the horror that currently exists and that you seem to support.
