He killed the bill because without it he would lose his single biggest campaign issue.
But it’s pretty ridiculous all around when your only options are:
A) Put illegal aliens in concentration camps and prisons
B) Don’t enforce immigration laws at all and disband ICE.
In a sane world you would enforce immigration laws but do so in a way that doesn’t violate human rights and which considers asylum claims as required under US law and international conventions.
“B” has never even been considered. That’s a bogeyman that the Republicans are trying to invent.
The US is constantly enforcing immigration laws. That’s not going to change. The issue is that laws that used to work, like asylum, no longer do.
Nobody in this race wants to get rid of ICE though.
The actual options are,
A) Put undocumented people and Asylees into camps or;
B) Turn all deportations into 48 hour “expedited removals” and remove any claim to asylum because it’s been turned into a catch 22.
(You must apply from the country you’re currently in that’s not the US. You are not eligible because you felt safe enough to stay in that country during the application process)
There is no option to have an amnesty or get rid of ICE.
Is there any chance of redefining terms of asylum? Like to remove drug cartel violence
We already ignore cartel violence. Conservatives have tried multiple times to declare Mexico a safe country.
