So in other words, what I said is true.
Comment on Illegal Immigrants Take Trains Into NYC After Eric Adams Restricts Bus Arrivals
OnlyTakesLs@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoWe think it should be allowed, but 2.4 million illegals in 2023 alone is a bit much. And thats just the ones we know about. The US is 340 million people, more than likely more than 1% is here illegally.

So yes, we agree. Probably just a matter of where to draw the line. Personally it should be strict, and the first instance of a crime, including illegally immigrating, should result in deportation.

Are you advocating for immigration in general, or illegal immigration specifically?

No one is illegal, they are undocumented seeking asylum that is provided by US law.

Common myth. The way you’re supposed to seek asylum is to apply at a border checkpoint or at an embassy. And asking for asylum after you get caught illegally immigrating is a separate act from illegally immigrating.

So you are supposed to do it in the first safe country. They are just illegals and not asylum seekers.

If we need the labor, we need to make it easier for people to come here to work. Personally I’m not sold we need the labor. As long as we have people on welfare, we have surplus labor.
