As I understand it, the "immigration crisis" is basically Republicans claiming every person crossing the border is doing so illegally, when it's normally just asylum seekers. But they're all men in their 20s, which is extremely suspicious that a person of prime working age would go to another country to seek work. Why aren't we seeing more elderly women? Makes you think. And Biden is like still deporting and doing most of the lovely stuff his predecessor did, except being less racist about it, but that doesn't win elections, so nearly four years of fearmongering about "invasions" and the "porous border". Ignoring that most of the criminal elements of immigration do not even happen on foot but via air or even by the Canadian border. And Biden isn't doing his duty because he's not actively telling the military to kill every immigrant on sight. Is that the simple gist of it?

No, wrong, this is an absolute INVASION at the border, just like it has been literally every election year, on schedule, for decades.

But they're all men in their 20s, which is extremely suspicious that a person of prime working age would go to another country to seek work. Why aren't we seeing more elderly women? Makes you think. It's a bit more complicated because the asylum procedure isn't intended for people seeking work, and the current practices around it do create a perverse incentive; some relevant effort on the subject: Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The border is pretty much boned until we fix the legal immigration process or people stop wanting to come to America. You can try to militarize the border and that might make it more orderly, but it is just going to result in the pre-2016 status quo of people sneaking across en masse instead of turning themselves in at the border - which is worse both in terms of the journey for the people and also likely to result in more illegal immigrants untracked and unsupported in the U.S. for the people who want to keep them out. Although, I guess it would be a success of stopping videos of huge amounts of people turning themselves in at border crossings if that was your goal. Main Paineframe posted:The border authorities really are getting overwhelmed, though. That's why his "shut down the border" offer is paired with literally doubling the current asylum officer workforce and increase the number of immigration judges by about 50%, so they can start whittling down the ~1 million pending asylum applications still in the queue and clear the massive years-long immigration court backlog. Especially since polls are showing that voters think immigration is one of the most important issues to them coming into this election. The asylum situation is a version in microcosm of the procedural and incentive systems that make immigration intractable as a policy issue (and therefore a popular wedge for Republicans): advocate groups on both "sides" of the issue have an incentive for the system to not work in different ways. In particular, as an individual case adjudicative system where if you are advocating for individuals, you have an incentive for the processing of removal to not work. On a collective advocacy level, inducing or promoting dysfunction in the system is a way for both pro-immigrant groups and anti-immigrant groups to advocate for their preferred "reforms".

drat shame nobody wants to actually fix immigration because at the bare minimum, it seems like taking the policy of "let's expand the legal immigration process you guys always say you wish so badly they'd go through the first place to greatly reduce the demand for illegal immigration you definitely hate" would at the very least be a useful blunt weapon.

Unfortunately, “we hired one more judge to process legal immigration requests and increased the yearly limit by 10” means “the border has been thrown WIDE OPEN! Terrorists streaming in by the millions! How could our leader betray us so?”

To some degree that's the angle the administration is seeking by pursuing improved processing capacity, something that was needed long before the rate of entry through asylum application blew up.

The truth is the border crisis and debt will completely cease to exist the exact zeptosecond a republican takes office in the white house, and will not return again until the exact zeptosecond a democrat takes office in the white house, just as it has always been. Republicans/conservatives love to complain about the border crisis/debt, but they absolutely hate any idea of actually doing anything about them. "No! Not that way!" A conservative in another internet forum I used to frequent seriously suggested putting machine gun nests/emplacements all along the border (and this was back in the Obama years). So basically any realistic solution proposed to address the border crisis will fail with republicans/conservatives because it would not be nearly racist enough to get their support.

For all the reasons I already posted above, the immigration case processing system has actual, severe, problems that exist in reality independent of whether or not it's being used for a particular narrative.

My favorite from that time period was the guy who argued the border could be easy and cheaply secured by gathering up all the discarded tires in the country and piling them up along the border, several miles deep, 2000 miles long, dozens of feet high. Then just light the whole thing and create the worlds largest tire fire.

The Islamic Shock posted:The sign is just the catchy sales pitch. The card actually says "get out of jail free, and go right the gently caress back to jail for a much longer time if you think about crimes (like not showing up for court) too hard, so show up for court or we will make you show up". Also, there's no correlation between which cities have D or R leadership and are basically back to pre-pandemic crime levels and which aren't, and the most notable outlier (DC) is limited in setting its own policies. It's a less prominent example of how Republicans want a problem so they can run on it.
