It takes a pretty stunning level of arrogance to think that you have a monopoly on what it means to protect the sovereignty of the U.S. Especially given the demonstrated lack of understanding of fundamental concepts like asylum and refugee request, lack of basic logic about how asylum requestors legally cross the border under current law, and just the throw a cherry on top your utter lack of experience in defending our country's sovereignty and the fact that you're in a conversation with someone who did that for a living for 20+ years. But if I disagree with you, I'm the one who should move to Mexico? Breathtaking really.
I just explained ad nauseum to you why a wall does nothing to protect against asylum requests and provided a solution that costs .1% as much that accomplishes what you ostensibly want to accomplish with this group. Your response has never at any time been to point out how a wall actually does anything to "defend" against a person who walks up to the border and request asylum, it's instead to desperately try to divert attention to how many asylum seekers should be allowed into the country and how anyone who disagrees with you should move to Mexico, ect. While you also know fuck all about all those things, it's really completely irrelevant to the fact that if you think asylum seekers are a problem a billion dollar wall does absolutely nothing to stop them because they're crossing the border legally under current asylum law when they ask for asylum at the border!
I'll ask for the now 10th time to answer this very simple question you just can't seem to get your head around, or more likely just can't answer without incurring some congnitive dissonance with your worldview so you're oh so desperately trying to avoid doing so.
Fact: Under current U.S. law a person can walk up to a border checkpoint and while remaining outside the U.S. request asylum, at which point the U.S. must evaluate that request which requires admitting the person until at a minimum a credible fear/reasonable fear screening is conducted.
Question: How does a wall stop these people from coming into the U.S.?
Just answer the damn question, no transparent attempts to divert to a topic you'd rather discuss like if the U.S. should or shouldn't have the laws it does or should or shouldn't admit these folks or that those who disagree with you don't deserve to live in the country they put their life on the line for. Just the very simple question of what a wall does to stop these folks? Can you answer that question strait up? Your history tells us you can't, and yet you're confused that anyone would object to your reasoning when you're utterly incapable of answering this very simple question with a straight up answer? I'm happy to continue this discussion once you can provide a straight up answer to that question, until then you're simply deluding yourself that hiding your head in the sand somehow makes inconvenient questions and facts stop existing.
