I'm glad someone is publicizing these numbers.

They are correct, and they show that the estimates of the number of aliens living in the USA in fully illegal or quasi-legal ("paroled in" or "released pending asylum adjudication") status is far greater than the official estimate of around 11 million - an estimate that hasn't changed even after about 6 years now of huge numbers of illegal entrants.

The board’s resident expert on human trafficking has been laying low since Thursday. Hoping that he will eventually see this and weigh in. It sounds similar to busing migrants from under an El Paso bridge to a vibrant metropolis - which everyone knows is the very definition of human trafficking.

Wait, what?  They deported them back to Cameroon, but are now flying them back to the US?  November/January can't come soon enough.

Cuba’s population in freefall as Biden-Harris open border sparks mass exodus

by Mike Gonzalez

 

This rueful joke has made its way around Cuba for decades: A foreign tourist, soaking up what he thinks are the advances of the communist revolution, stops a kid in the street for a chat. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” the visitor asks. “A foreigner,” answers the young Cuban. Morbid humor has long been the staple of communist regimes, from Czechoslovakia to the Soviet Union, from China to the once-prosperous Caribbean island of Cuba. People who have lived through communism, with its alternating bouts of horrors and tedium, say it is one way to deal with such surreal surroundings.

Serious question: Cuba is ruled by a horribly corrupt and abusive communist regime. 

Is it a bad thing that people who hate living under that regime are able to come to the United States to seek a new life?

Bad? No illegal? Yes. If you make it here, welcome. If not, you should be deported.

Basically that is the US policy with respect to Cubans. The law says they can get permanent residency if they come in and manage to stay one year.

That seems fair tbh.

Agreed. That's probably the direction we need to go in. Not everyone needs an individualized hearing.

Cuba: we all agree it sucks and is an abusive human rights regime. As long as you can show you weren't complicit with the government, you get to stay.

Chile: we call agree that it is a democracy that respects basic human rights. Unless you come with actual proof of something extraordinary, your case should be summarily denied.

We'll never get out of this mess through the idea that everyone, regardless of country of origin, needs to have a full and complete asylum hearing and appeal rights.

 

Difficult cases: China. But that's only a 1.4 billion people ...

Can somebody take the temperature of hell? We agree on something. Good post! We definitely need reform, that's for sure.
