Bloody hell, economic migrants are considered asylum seekers by some in the US now?

I draw the line where I quoted you.
That they were 'forced' to enter this country 'illegally.'
If you can prove that to me, you may convince me that I'm on the wrong side of this argument. I doubt that however given the fact the we as humans have free will and that I'm highly doubtful that there are border agents or Mexican agents pushing them across the border.

That's what they should be doing. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

You can not seek asylum legally by wading across the Rio Grande.
Unless the law, remember that, has changed, you must cross over an acknowledged border check point. Not just any ol' place will do.
and they are trying to do that, at legit points, and being forced to cross illegally, and having their kids taken away.
that is what is happening.

we have laws. people can start the process of seeking asylum and that kicks off a legal process.
your personal opinion of whether that's legit doesn't mean dick, in a legal sense.

I never understand the 'racist' thing about immigration control by US members of ATS.
