  I don’t disagree with your general idea, but this does discourage asylum seekers from passing through Mexico to get to our border.  I’ll be honest, I’m not up to speed on Mexico’s own immigration issues and views, but I have to believe that they aren’t exactly thrilled about being used as a land bridge to the US.  And if we’re truly going to address immigration, Mexico’s participation and cooperation is going to be part of the solution.
context: Fuck around: America spends +120 years spreading "democracy" via the Monroe doctrine in the western hemisphere
  Find out: The poor people of those countries come to America bc their own countries are in disrepair >
  
  I've found bashing my head against a wall is less painful than trying to explain this to folks. >
  
  Usually, it's not that they're incapable understanding, it's just that they're racist ghouls who are completely determined to keep poor brown people out of their country and will seize on any rationalization they can come up with why that's actually OK and they're not monstrous ghouls >
  
  
  The United States will use pandemic-era restrictions to rapidly expel Cuban, Nicaraguan and Haitian migrants caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, President Joe Biden announced on Thursday as he seeks to gain control of migration.
  At the same time, Biden will allow up to 30,000 people from those three countries plus Venezuela to enter the country by air each month, Biden said.
  He said his message to those would-be migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua or Haiti without a U.S. sponsor is: "Do not just show up at the border."
  
  Was this written by an AI?? Either way, it's a decent policy change. Uncontrolled border migration shouldn't happen. It's good they need to have sponsors and they can enter the country. >
  
  Asylum seekers should be allowed to turn themselves in at points of entry and remain in the United States while they're application for asylum is considered, whether or not they can afford a plane ticket. That's how it's supposed to work under international law and how it worked until the Trump administration.
  The only difference between people turning themselves in at an airport after flying here or walking up to the border and doing the same is that poor people are going to have a harder time doing the first one.
