    “Do it by the book” when your life is in danger is supposed to be coming to the border and requesting asylum. And these days, that means “fuck you, go back and die.”

      Or get dumped in another state as some sort of political theater when you came in legally as an asylum seeker…

      That’s true for a Mexican asylum seeker but for others, Eg Venezuelans recently, they have to pass through like 6 other countries before coming to the US border.

      Most everyone comes to the US for one primary reason and I would be doing the same if I were them.
