    AMERICA. Here are the thugs and criminals Donald Trump wants to send 10,000 troops for. They are mainly women and children. They are refugees legally seeking asylum.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1057954569391652864 …

        The US should (along with other countries) be going out to actively meet them, even before they reach other borders. Begin the shared international responsibility to process each individual to see if they are fit to become residents. Trump's meaning of nationalism is dangerous.

        What is the difference between the people coming now and the people who landed at Ellis Island decades? 🤔 What? Oh, yeah. Color!

        The white guy in our group - his family came through Ellis Island. They had to have a location they were traveling to, a job waiting for them, and a reason for coming here in the first place. Also, they weren't well liked...like most immigrants in this country.

        There was a time "Americans" were against the Irish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Jewish... you name it, there was a time when all took turns as the undesirable. Now it's simply non-white ethnic groups.

        Some have. Others are fleeing dangers that could still easily reach them in Mexico. Still others have family in the US and need that support system to help them re-establish their lives in a new place. Individual reasons vary.

        One cannot apply for asylum at a US embassy.

        No, it isn't. I don't know what else to tell you. It just isn't. US embassies do not process asylum claims.

        You americans have wages wars for 50yrs without taking any responsibilities towards the humanitarian catastrophies in the foot steps of ur wars. When asylum seekers show up as they have done elsewhere in this world this is the reaction from your state? What a devilish mind-state!
