Just like CA AG Becerra, DC's Attorney General is leading a "coalition" against President Trump. I imagine all members of the coalition are leading a variety of efforts against Trump. It's their way of organizing resistance to the elected president and using "issues" as cover for their efforts.

forcing them, instead, to be processed in countries that are ill-equipped to protect them and are especially dangerous for women, children, and LGBTQ+ individuals

I would think the Headline to the Article would have been something like:

AG Becerra and 18 other State AG's declare Mexico a Shithole to Supreme Court.

Thanks. Now everyone call your governors.

So now you can get asylum gender selection/sexual preferences. Paul Hogan did an Australian movie a number of years back where he and another male pretended to be gay to get some benefit from the government. ‘Strange Bedfellows’ it was called. you are gunna have a lot of hairy South Americans poncing over the border in drag if this continues!

"countries of color"

It never hurts to add a little race baiting where race itself isn't a factor.

Nice list of the biggest offenders, they reveal themselves in their conspiracy and and essentially say yes I am breaking the law...

“The coalition also argues that the rule deprives the states of valuable contributions made by immigrants.”

That’s B.S. The government and the law do not presume that a requested asylum will meet the legal requirements for granting such a request, as adjudicated by the immigration courts, just because such a request is made.

Therefor it is not a matter of “immigrants” per se, it is although really about LEGAL immigration standards, which even an asylum seeker must be held to.

The protesting AGs make two great errors. They lump illegal immigration with legal immigration, and they ask the legal process to presume all asylum requests meet the legal tests for that request, before the immigration officials are even able to investigate and adjudicate it. They would have “asylum” seekers passed through the border posts with nothing more than a future court date which history shows most will never show up for.

Their “defense” of the asylum seekers is an offense to the country because, if their ideas was policy it knowingly will increase the U.S. population of illegal immigrants.

Where are they getting this “immigrants of color” nonsense from?

Talk about a straw man.

I guess I am opposed to efforts by AG Becerra to normalize rape of small children. He must be stopped!

[Mr. K]

The whole world would be ‘fleeing persecution’ if they get away with this.

The Congress cannot micro-manage immigration. The President has pretty clear authority.

“... the Trump administration is working to limit immigration from countries of color...”

“Countries of color”? Is this a thing now? First I’ve heard of it. Is Africa a “continent of color”? I guess this is a more progressive way of saying colored countries.

huh?

[SkyDancer]

Color? I guess that includes all those plaid folks too.

[econjack]

I though AG's were in place to enforce the law, not to create policy. Does he have an agenda...too?

[Osage Orange]

Is white not a color??

[goldstategop]

Its really all about future Democrat voters. ‘Nuff said.
