2 of the three school kids from NJ who were recently not allowed to tour the White House because they didnt have proper papers were from SWEDEN.

Brown, black, white, yellow or green - all are being treated equally according to law.

Shithole country, unlike Norway.

Did we gas them as they approached the White House?

Dude.  Presenting yourself at a border crossing point to apply for asylum is legal.

Part of the crush at Tijuana is due to the fact that the city is filling with migrants waiting to enter legally while the Trump administration has limited the number of asylum applications it will take, and taken months longer to address them.

And legally presenting yourself for asylum in order to protect your family from deadly violence in your home country has ZERO to do with not properly applying for a visit to the fucking White House.

You are on a real tear lately, kiidcarter8.  Trump is a truth teller, being an open racist isn't disqualifying for serving in Congress, and now, look at those kids from Sweden who didn't get to take a tour!  Just like those Hondurans who were just tear gassed!

Your cluelessness has zero boundary.

The basic fact is that too many people are waiting to seek asylum “the right way” in the US. In theory, they have a legal right to it; in practice, it’s by no means a guarantee they’ll be allowed to exercise it. In the hands of a president who routinely says that all asylum seekers should turn around and go home, and an administration that has sought to radically reduce the scope of asylum, the use of metering fits all too easily into a general strategy of attempting to reduce immigration to the US.

“We’re not turning people away,” Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan declared to reporters in October. “We’re asking them to wait.”

The question is how long they can wait before it becomes functionally indistinguishable from being turned away — or before they simply get fed up with being in limbo, and take matters into their own hands.

This administration is arbitrarily applying "metering" to immigrant applications from Sweden (or Norway?)  Show us.

Otherwise, STFU.

Gee….here’s a shocker. Manafort has done everything just short of erecting a giant billboard to get your attention on this, Trumpy. Does he actually have to kiss that fleshy, white ass of yours?

Actually, no - a great majority are NOT attempting to enter via asylum route.

No.
They were already in the country legally and weren't trying to invade.

No worries,  GOP,  the teargassing children thing should win back plenty of support.   I mean,  how many of have wanted to teargas our children now and then?

Children only get teargassed if their parents put them in a position to be teargassed.
Don't want your children teargassed?......then don't put them in a position where they could be teargassed.
No degree from Harvard needed for this one either.

What makes the Central American caravaners think they should get preference over people in the Middle East and Africa etc who have been waiting years in UN refugee camps for resettlement?
"Get in the queue", some would tell them.

Do members of this forum dispute the statement by US Border Patrol that "it would have been much worse had teargas not been used"?

Paint the picture for us.

What happens next?

How many do we simply allow to cross the border?  And where do they go?

Honduras is not a White-majority country.
Guatemala is not a White-majority country.
Have you noticed that 'all' the people in non-White-majority countries are rushing to get into White-majority countries "for a better life"?

None...until they are processed/ thoroughly investigated and approved by the US govt for resettlement.
Let them in...where do they go...set up shanty towns in parks in US towns?

If Trump lets them just walk in … he's finished politically.
