Frame the narrative so that the criminal invaders are nothing more than helpless victims then point the blame for their plight to someone not remotely responsible. It’s what the leftist heathens do. It’s why they are considered insane.

Blaming Trump for the crime and economics of another nation’s citizen’s condition is fake news at its peak. We cannot absorb the world’s poor or desperate. Only by staying in their own countries can they affect change there.

This gumball illustration explains it perfectly for those who haven’t seen it yet.

She tried to get home to crime-ridden Honduras despite learning her brother had been killed there and her mother and 7-year-old daughter had fled to the Nicaraguan border. But she was stuck in Mexico as the virus closed borders in Central America.

I guess she should have gone to Nicaragua, a border country, which by international law is where you seek asylum.

How do you know that?

Even that seems risky as we are allowing them on American soil before bussing them back to Mexico. I would simply deploy the active denial system and repel them from the border. Let them worry about getting back to Honduras. Some liberal judge will probably grant them an injunction since they are in fact on American soil for short time. Just use the virtual flamethrower that is the active denial system and they will never make it on US soil.

It seems all the CCP Virus “hot spots” are in sanctuary cities/areas.

Good. You should have to apply for asylum at US Embassies and Consulates - not at the border. If you are found to have entered the sovereign territory of the US ILLEGALLY, you should be summarily denied asylum forever and immediately deported.

People fleeing violence and poverty to seek refuge in the U.S.

Well there you have it. Neither violence nor poverty are categories for obtaining asylum in the US.

[backwoods-engineer]

TOO BAD. We’ve got our own problems. Go back the Mexico.

The U.S. government used an obscure public health law to justify one of its most aggressive border crackdowns ever.

No propaganda here, eh?

My heart sings.
