    President Trump is sending 5,200 troops to the border even though: ❌Many arriving have a right to seek asylum ❌Unauthorized migration is near historic lows ❌Border communities have among the lowest crime rates in the US Voters must reject Trump’s anti-immigrant aggression.

        Illegitimate @potus’ use of #troops at #border is abuse of power, not to mention waste of taxpayer money. @realDonaldTrump is so afraid of midterm elections he’ll do anything to push attention elsewhere, even at mostly #migrant women and children fleeing oppression. #impeachtrump

        What is a "waste of taxpayer money" is supporting 20,000 MORE ILLEGALS in this country on top of the 30 MILLION we already house and feed. Anyone who dosen't agree, probably DOESN'T Pay TAXES !! A VALID use of American soldiers !!!

        Please consider removing those red x's and replacing with green check marks. X's send the wrong message.

        I thought the very same thing…and was curious why ACLU would dare use red X’s. Maybe I’m naïve, but doesn’t that signify some right wing group?

        People protesting the barring of Alex Jones from Twitter use the red X on their profile. They don't own red X. Green check marks implies positives. Red X implies a crisis. In this case, we have a potential crisis.

        As of May 2018, we have 8500 troops in Afghanistan. Sending 5200 to the border seems excessive.

        14,000 troops to at most 3,000 immigrants! That's at least 4 to 1. How ridiculous!

        Not sure how many have a valid reason to seek asylum (economic conditions are not grounds for asylum) but the other points are valid. I am concerned about what may happen with that many troops being thrown into the situation. #lp18 #SmartGovVA11

        Most have fair grounds for asylum. Gang violence in Central America has reached the point that many end up needing to flee for their own safety every day. Our credible fear interviews have, if anything, become too strict, since we no longer accept vulnerable DV victims.

        May be true ... although ultimately a lot of these asylum claims are denied. I am pro-immigration. I just worry that too many people are gaming the system which is unfair to those who play by the rules.

        80% of the asylum cases from those countries when represented by a lawyer are granted. The denials come when denied an attorney. Sessions is creating rulings against some of the claims also. He's a Nazi. Please don't spread propaganda because it could cause deaths.
