They are criminals, not innocent.

A child hospitalized for dehydration is a criminal worthy of being stripped of their human rights? “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” - the plaque on the Statue of Liberty, written by Emma Lazarus

Why’s the child here? Because Schumer and the like are on TV promising citizenship, which encourages people to either bring their children or send their children here with traffickers.

Someone not so innocent set the ball on motion.

Amazing how you “sanctuary city” hypocrites think border towns should handle these people, and a bus ride after they walked through Mexico is somehow a hardship.

Border towns get millions of dollars in federal aid because the government recognizes the burden of living on a border. I’m sure Texas would gladly share that money with Philly for taking these Legal immigrants in! Right? Right?!

Nope, you want to virtue signal with “sanctuary city” BS you pay. Leave my tax dollars out if it.

I don’t mind Philadelphia receiving people seeking amnesty. But this is purely a political stunt by an ignorant person. Why isn’t he sending people to “red cities” like Little Rock, Oklahoma City, etc.?

Because this is the fault of the Democratic Party, and they should go to Democrat run cities, so they can deal with what their party creates.

Sounds like you just like to parrot Fox News instead of doing your research. The U.S. has offer asylum dating back to the beginning of the country. As others have pointed out, they aren’t here illegally and each person will go through due process.

Asylum for legitimate reasons, not just for more economic opportunities.

It is incredible to me just how comfortable people like you are with utterly dehumanizing living, breathing souls as long as they’re poor, have dark skin, and come from a place that isn’t familiar to you. It’s really, really sad. These are human beings, the same things that make up your organs and cells make up theirs. None of us are that different, yet you are completely comfortable with treating these people like mud under your shoe.

None of what you posted is true. Fact is we have a LEGAL immigration system where people of any color can come to this country without risking their lives walking across Mexico and even Rio Grand.

They are criminals, crossing the border illegally with made up asylum claims.

Even if they made false claims, by definition if the government let them cross the border then they are in the country legally.

creepy-cats t1_ixwiry5 wrote

Do you have any solid proof that their claims are false or are you just desperately hoping they are so you can feel justified in dehumanizing them and treating them like they’re dogshit you just stepped in?

If you illegally cross the border, you are a criminal.

Why don’t you try illegally entering another country and see how you’re treated?
