Release them with a court date and an ankle monitor.

@WilyRickWiles
Because that has worked so well.

@Cheetolini Did it not? What we're doing now clearly isn't working as a deterrent. What's the point besides making a show of cruelty for Trump supporters?

@WilyRickWiles
Not working?
Refusing funding, and posturing like a peacock for SJW points is bringing in record numbers of donors for the “progressives”. It’s working just like they planned it.
‘There is no crisis’
‘It’s a manufactured crisis’
‘It’s Trumps Manufactured crisis’
‘We won’t fund anything to do with Trump’
‘Why won’t Trump fix it’
(Points finger)

Ever hear of an Hegelian dialectic?

No more free ticket into the interior for getting caught sneaking across our border.

The left plays the valiant hero quoting the Statue of Liberty poem “The New Colossus”
"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-tost to me”

What I find funny is they always leave off the last line of the poem. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

“I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Come to the door, Ask. Don’t sneak in through the basement window, eat the food in the cellar then claim you have a “right” to be in my house because you need a job.

Economic migration is not a valid claim for asylum.
You should be insulted that so many lie, then disappear into the population to become slave labor.

I thought the left is the champion of the hate of slavery.

Oh wait, they are doing the jobs YOU won’t do, so I guess a little slavery is fine.

@Cheetolini Let me know how wins the debate between yourself and your internal straw leftist.

@WilyRickWiles
Naw, I’ll just let your spokes lady continue to lie (and get caught) about kids being forced to drink from toilets, while you stand their saying “what? What?”
Your peacock feathers don’t impress anybody but the other peacocks.

@Cheetolini Did you read the DHS OIG report?

@WilyRickWiles
Why yes I did.
And I have a suggestion.
Stop promising entry if you bring kids. Stop promising free college, drivers license, health care, and political representation for those who REFUSE to follow our immigration laws.
Because, this is what happens. (From the report you think I didn’t read).

@Cheetolini Yeah the connection is not there.

@WilyRickWiles
Family units from 36,773 in 2017-18 to 135,812 in 2018-2019. Four fold increase, and the year isn’t but half over.
But then, you read it, and still didn’t see it. So, be a contrarian if you have no response. It sees to be your MO.

@Cheetolini The connection I was speaking of was a connection between those numbers and "promises." There is none. The fact that Trump's real deterrents have coincided with increased numbers makes it even less likely that there is a connection with the supposed incentives you mention.

@Cheetolini And if you can read the report, you know the conditions are bad.

Addressed in comments below.

@WilyRickWiles
Hey Ricky - you never did respond to the question I asked you some time ago...don't you do the right thing and demonstrate your virtue and sponsor a "migrant family" in your own abode. And if they complain the conditions are not comfortable enough...I dunno...maybe you can keep tap dancing until you find the spotlight...LOL!!!! go on now Ricky show us all how righteous a man you are.

It just "feels true" doesn't it.

@WilyRickWiles it is true. Detentions isn't a measure of crossings, and holding for hearings is more faithful to migration policy and national security than catch and release.

@govols Are you suggesting that those "promises" have caused a massive spike in migration or not?

@WilyRickWiles It's impossible to know. It's damned sure not helping to reduce the invasion force in numbers, though.

@Garsco Let's see the numbers.

@CanuckAmok Dude I wasn't denying that the numbers were up this year--I just wanted to see them. It doesn't change anything. They're still not historically high and it's still an engineered crisis. As I mentioned before, there's no need to detain these people.

It's a manufactured crisis. The Trump administration is intentionally creating these conditions for the purpose of a "deterrent." There is no reason for these people to be detained. Ankle monitors exist.

Moreover, you can throw money at this dysfunctional system until the cows come home. The right will always find new ways to tax the system. They won't be happy until tens of millions of people who have lived here for decades are rounded up in camps.

@WilyRickWiles right now the "right" just wants to stop the ongoing invasion.

@govols Again...

@Garsco Let's see the numbers.

@WilyRickWiles

The Border Patrol is trying to enforce laws passed by Democrats and regulations written by the Obama administration under the dictates of leftist judges. The Border Patrol has asked for more resources. Those resources were denied by the Democrats in Congress until last week.

Caravans of busses and trucks to convoy migrants across two-thousand miles of Mexico don't pop up like mushrooms after a rain storm. I've organized weekend events for upwards of two hundred people. Food, water, toilet facilities, shelters, fire, medical,
and police; they all have to be arranged for. And paid for, don't forget that.

A hundred-thousand people a month just spontaineously cross Mexico and show up on our southern border? Impoverished people with no motor vehicles or money to buy fuel? Desperately poor people who can't buy plane or train tickets?

If you believe that, well, there's a bridge in Brooklyn and plenty of people willing to sell it to you.

@timon_phocas IT'S SOROS!

@CanuckAmok See above.

@WilyRickWiles and you would complain about using ankle monitors - don't pretend that Trump administration could ever do anything at all that would not offend you. Some time back someone said "if Trump were to find a cure for cancer the left would hate it..." I think that's you Ricky.

"A majority of Americans are unaware that most immigrants in the United States are in this country legally. Overall, 45% know that most immigrants in the U.S. are here legally."

Right wing governments here in Australia do the same thing. Using manufactured border crises to distract public attention from significant increases in legal immigration rather than attempting to gain public support for legal immigration through more straightforward methods.
