    Not do any of it as it’s only an issue because of Republican framing

      That is not accurate. Immigration right now is causing a variety of problems, including for those migrating. I recommend reading this for an explanation of the current issues and some independent ideas on how to solve them.

      Doing nothing is the third option. That defaults to the current immigration policy that was written in 1986 with some asylum assistance added only for minors in 2019. The assistance for minors was what Trump twisted into Title 42, when he detained children and deported their parents.

      There is nothing mandating that border cities host any migrants, so they get bused to sanctuary cities. It’s up to sanctuary cities to offer housing based on state budget. When housing runs out, migrants are homeless.

        Biden’s order will temporarily shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum seekers attempting to enter the country legally when authorities have determined that the border is “overwhelmed”.

        It only blocks asylum seekers.

        It’s also how trump did his Muslim ban which was already ruled illegal. So why is Biden doing it except to screw over those seeking asylum?

          So why is Biden doing it except to screw over those seeking asylum?

          Real answers?

          Biden stopped growing in his understanding of politics in 1992. He thinks he can get voters this way.

          Asylum seekers are categorized with migrants at the border. They only differ in desire to get a job once they enter. They’re given one year of amnesty to determine if they want to naturalize or move to another nation. They’re offered free housing in sanctuary cities. The cities are now full from lack of state funding and no Federal support. Congress failed to pass reform that could support these cities or mandate acceptance in other cities. There’s nothing left to do but choose from the three options I mentioned above.

          Immigrants are people who enter the nation with intent to naturalize. They have more Federal rights than migrants, but a more complex legal journey ahead.

          The Muslim ban was discriminatory trash, and nothing like this. It outlawed any immigration (asylum seekers, refugees, migrants, or immigrants) for Muslims or “suspected Muslims. It absolutely was illegal, and despicable to boot.

            Again this is Biden doing the Muslim ban for legally protected asylum seekers.

            This is only an EO for those protected people.

              Do you have a source on the discrimination in this Executive Order? I haven’t seen anything on religious restrictions in any articles.

              Or is your confusion still on the terms migrant and asylum seeker? They’re not people of a specific religion.

              https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/refugees-asylum-seekers-and-migrants/

              Immigrants are not provided with emergency housing, so we can accept them. We simply do not have the housing that we guarantee migrants seeking asylum, so the options are homelessness, detainment, or restriction on entry.

                  You should read up on the rights of migrant and asylum seekers if you don’t want to take my word for it. Your lack of understanding of the issue, and now willful ignorance to information provided, proves you’d rather protect your opinion than understand the problem.

                  You still have yet to make a suggestion of what should be done instead. You’ve only criticized what Biden is doing.
