Some of those should be waived in the case of a person claiming refugee status, however they would need to be swapped for a compelling argument that they are in physical danger if they stay in their country.

And as for employment, it might be wise to have a set time limit of, say, 1 month for them to find work (or enrol into education) because the reality is sometimes that might not be feasible.

And, once again, all of that should have a standard of proof that a reasonable person should be able to quickly compile, and the immigration courts should be funded enough so that there are enough bureaucrats to efficiently process the case.

40% of those coming are unaccompanied minors.

What do we do about them? Employment does not matter much in their case.

That still doesn't make foreign languages 'gibberish'. You not understanding something's meaning doesn't make it meaningless.

Back on topic though, surely you can admit that the present system of locking children in cages is unconscionable, and serious change is required?

It makes sense for someone to reject it if his true advocacy is to close the borders. There would be no incentive to streamline legal immigration and would in fact approve of going the opposite direction.

Unless we absurdly expand our population we are not going to be bringing in enough.
And those not qualify will still not qualify unless you eliminate standards.

Yes we do need a better funded, better organized border security force, that does the job effectively and humanely.

And also, again, of course the correct answer is to have enough resources into the legal side of the immigration process so that judges can properly weigh up the validity of each individual case they get.


But we still will not be letting in everyone.
Those sneaking in illegally are often not qualified in the first place.

Because we will not be letting in everyone, there are going to be people trying to get in illegally.
Making the process faster will not do anything unless you massively expand the annual intake.

It is still a numbers game.

We bring in about a million a year.

But 750 million adults want to leave there country, and the US is the first choice of 158 million.
Plus remember that is only adults.

We are not going to be bringing in enough to eliminate or probably even significantly reduce illegal immigration.

We will still have to rely on border security, deterrence and removal measures to bring illegal immigration under control.


The deterrence is made obsolete if there is no reason to try and immigrate illegally though- for example, by having a fast, simple and streamlined legal immigration process.

And it's not rocket science that if a person still immigrates illegally they can of course be deported. But the current situation is that the legal immigration route is a mess right now, so that should be tackled first before pouring everything into border security (and even then, it would be wise to put that into measures that actually make sense, rather than a gigantic 3000 kilometre long wall that is unlikely to even work).

When someone desperately wants something and it's really, really hard to obtain, they might try not-so-good ways to get it. For example, a poor father with a family of 6 might deal drugs in order to put food on the table. But if it's very easy to get that which you so desperately want, then you get by good, legal means. For example, that poor father with a family of 6 obtains a legal job instead of dealing drugs. It's the same process here.

Amin, go away.

You support slavery.

Nothing you say about anything is ever relevant.

Hey how about you stop bringing up things not related to the topic in order to go after people personally and attempt to make it out as if you dont have to actually respond?

So you know it's an Arabic phrase, which thusly means it's not actually gibberish at all, yet still call it gibberish.

Amazing.

Actually the legal immigration system is not that bad.
A million legally immigrate each year.

Making it easier for a million a year does nothing.

You still have just as many lesser qualified individuals not making the cut.

You would have to raise the total number and greatly reduced standards.

Otherwise those ruins the number and those not meeting standards still are not getting in legally regardless.

Zombie Ike/Teddy Roosevelt 2020.

Novus America represents my vision of an awesome Atompunk near future United States of America expanded to the entire North American continent, Guyana and the Philippines. The population would be around 700 million.
Think something like prewar Fallout, minus the bad stuff.

Politically I am an independent. I support what is good for the country, which means I cannot support either party.

So you know it's an Arabic phrase, which thusly means it's not actually gibberish at all, yet still call it gibberish.

Amazing.

Because I don't speak Arabic.

Shockingly enough, people aren't born with the ability to understand Arabic.

So if I'm someone's deliberately posting something they know I can't understand then, yes, I'm going to dismiss it as gibberish.

Sorry, not sorry.
Yes, yes, I get it. I'm racist and fascist because I disagree with you. Can we skip that part? I've heard it a million times before and I guarantee it won't be any different when you do it

Google Translate is a thing, you should try it some time when faced with a language you don't understand.

He's fluent in English.

He could just speak English.

Which means it's Arabic and thus decidedly not gibberish.

For someone who loves to call others illiterate, you sure as shit don't even know what gibberish means.
