Hello Aaron,

 AI>> Asylum seekers arriving at the border on American soil and asking
 AI>> for asylu is perfectly legal. That is how it's done. Then they
 AI>> have a hearing and the

 AT> There has been a change to this. Individuals who cross through a third
 AT>  country, but do not apply for asylum there first, will lose their
 AT> right to apply for asylum in the USA. The move was challenged in the
 AT> US Supreme Court, and was upheld.

Indeed this part is new since Donald Trump put forward his new policy.

It flies in the face of American and International law.

 AI>> Nobody is sneaking.

 AT> Haven't you heard about the underground tunnels? Human trafficking
 AT> cartels? Wall jumpers? Swimming across the Rio Grande? This is all
 AT> stuff that I'd call "sneaking."

This is a different and very real issue. It's the main reason I recommend against the wall that people will go over, under or around regardless of what it costs to put up, it gets you nowhere.

 AI>> Democrats are Americans, just like you. I don't think they are the
 AI>> enemy yo seem to think they are. They are different sure, but they
 AI>> want law & order secure borders the same as you do.

 AT> You lost me at the "law & order" part. Democrats are aligning with BLM
 AT> & ANTIFA.

People who support BLM are Americans too, and these people are standing up for law & order and I don't think you need to fear an anti fascist ideology.

#Antifa was one of Donald Trumps silly tweets, one of many.

 AT> There is non-stop violence in Portland, Oregon (of all places.) The
 AT> Democrats want police defunded,

Rubbish. This is not now and never was a Democrat policy.

 AT> inmates released early, and cheaper street drugs.

More rubbish.

 AT> It's not the version of "law & order" that I had in mind.

I am aware.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
