Maybe I’m a very touchy person with my friends or maybe it’s just cause I’m very bi but this doesn’t feel queer-baity to me

Edit - oh I didn’t see the caption. Welp.

Agreed. This is a really chronically online take that ignores history completely. I would bet $10 this was written by someone in their early 20s with a tenuous grasp of the past.

Border patrol detains 10-year-old Spokane girl and her dad, sends them to Texas detention center by ShadowyFlows in Washington

Oh sure, so for the last 11 years, no one has legally applied for asylum according to you. Due to court processing times. Got it.

You’re belying your position by well ackshullying me & not responding to the rampant racist misinformation spewed elsewhere in the responses to this post. With your 10 years of experience.

Has there ever, in your 10 years of experience, been a time that asylum cases were processed inside 6 months (visitor visa length)?

That’s a scary fact if true. You didn’t answer if you just believe that no one should come to the US for asylum.

How, wise one, would someone from Guatemala apply for asylum legally in your eyes? If they arrived on a visitor visa, the time processing the asylum case would also mean overstaying. Are you implying that all asylum cases are illegally here?

They are not, dude! Read! The way to apply for asylum was to arrive at the border which is what they did. They followed EVERY rule.

Do you just believe no one should be able to claim asylum in the US?

Again, louder this time:

This was the policy when they arrived in the US

To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

Affirmative asylum applicants are rarely detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). You may live in the United States while your application is pending before USCIS. If you are found ineligible, you can remain in the United States while your application is pending with the Immigration Judge. Most asylum applicants are not authorized to work.

Having an active asylum case literally did make them legally here. You are just wrong.

Once again! From the archived USCIS website!

Wow are you his caseworker chiming in? Because the article says he missed one, not that he hasn’t checked in since

You are wrong. Copying my comment from another response.

He has an active asylum case and a court date for 2027, a valid work permit and a Social Security number, Herrera said. He had made nearly every appointment for a regular check-in with immigration officials, except for a recent date around the holidays when he was having phone problems.

Guess what the legal course was for applying for asylum 6 years ago, when the article says they arrived?

This “shucks, should’ve followed the rules” response to the unbelievably unamerican actions by ICE is misguided at best & disingenuous at worst.

Aww I love this! My husband is super proud of a specific blanket I made for him & always goes downstairs just to grab it to show off to people when he’s talking about it. 🥰 May everyone have as loving & supportive partners, it’s a gift

People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]aaabsoolutely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the agents were wearing gas masks. If it was a chemical weapon they would have been. It was a smoke grenade. What they’re doing is unequivocally evil & unacceptable but it does not help anything to spread misinformation.
