Migrants

There is pressure to stop the flow of illegals crossing the border. First off it is a dangerous journey across Mexico. It is mostly desert and much of the territory is controlled by gangs and cartels. Second when they get to the US border, they must wait for the courts to determine their status. Only those who qualify for asylum status can remain and from 2013 to 2022 only 165,000 qualified. Once they are in the country, they are not allowed to work so all who are here and do not qualify for asylum are breaking the law and when they go to work, they are breaking the law again. Add to that there are many criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showing that, as of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal illegal aliens were currently on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket (NDD) and roaming free in communities throughout the United States. This figure includes roughly 15,000 individuals convicted of or charged with murder, more than 20,000 of sexual assault, and more than 105,000 of assault: Many sanctuary states are refusing to aid ICE in finding these criminals which is not the case with citizens who are criminals. This is changing rapidly. Many who opposed deportations are now saying it is ok to deport criminals. Many now say it is ok to deport those who have been through the courts and found not to qualify for asylum. Many are now saying building the wall is acceptable.
