CNN:Hundreds of migrants cross Arizona border after 'several busloads' dropped off in Mexico

a reply to: pavil

In total, 242 people -- mostly families from Guatemala -- were arrested when Border Patrol agents arrived at the scene after the migrants were detected by a mobile surveillance system. This was one of the largest single groups crossing the Arizona border over the last year, according to Border Patrol, and comes on the heels of other large groups illegally crossing at other parts of the border. Similar to other groups of families, these migrants willingly surrendered to Border Patrol with no attempts to evade or hide from authorities

They are asylum seekers. They did exactly what they were supposed to do.

You are never going to stop them from coming. Unless this place is worse than where they are coming from.

a reply to: AScrubWhoDied

Right... Someone should have told the president that. He knowingly hired illegals with phoney ID.

So, surveillance didnt work, but they were all actually arrested after surveillance triggered an alert?

What?

Looks like it worked to me.

cough!...cough!....trump logic....cough!...

Emergency beacons are scattered throughout the border so that when refugees arrive they can activate them to summon the border patrol. There's your surveillance and it is being used.

Oh Silly. Except for the part about legally crossing at a point of entry. They just drove up and illegally entered.

Asylum has two basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country.[4] Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group.[5]

You do realize that Aslyum refugee's only are about 10% of the people who immigrate to the US each year, right?

Do you honestly think the vast majority of people trying to enter fit the definition of Asylum. Sure it's a bad country they live in. But that isn't a reason for Asylum. Forget trying to enter legally huh?

Please tell me why you think they qualify as Asylum candidates?

That does sound like the Pelosi plan.

They don't want to stop illigal immigration.

mostly families from Guatemala

Once again MSM is going with Migrants are all or mostly families which is a lie. Many are all men.

Correction: Did exactly what the border lawyers told them to do...

This article talks about how family groups are now a new phenomena. Kids made up about 50% of this particular group.

I highly doubt that they make up about 50% of that group they always lie about the numbers to.

I think you are confused...what you are supposed to do is show up at the US consulate in YOUR country to apply for asylum...not break the law to illegally enter the US then try to claim asylum so you can be let go in the US where 4 in 10 actually show up when their case comes up

a reply to: jimmyx

Cough cough...no logic...cough cough

You have to be trying to be this dumb...i refuse to believe you were born that way

a reply to: pavil

They were all stopped, though.

Barricades & walls were ineffective.

Border patrol and mobile surveillance were effective.

a reply to: chr0naut

There were no barricades...you'd know that if you read the article instead of rushing in to show everyone how much of a dumbass you were.

a reply to: pavil

Well, SOMEONE is paying for all those buses transporting all these people.....now, who could that possibly be ....

They have to be on US soil to claim asylum.

Did you notice that they all willingly surrendered to the border patrol? Why might that be?

a reply to: chr0naut

And actually it wasn't effective because now that we apprehended them on out soil instead of before they will claim asylum and be released into some city to wait a year or 2 for a court date which 4:10 seem to show for...so not really very effective...
