Pew ^ | August 12, 2019 | Pew Staff

The American public is broadly critical of the way that the federal government is dealing with the increased number of people seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. When it comes to what should be done about the situation, large majorities say it is important to increase the number of judges handling asylum cases and to provide safe and sanitary conditions for asylum seekers.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) say the federal government is doing a very bad (38%) or somewhat bad (27%) job dealing with the increased number of people seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border; just 33% say the government is doing a good job, according to the new survey by Pew Research Center conducted July 22-Aug. 4 among 4,175 adults.

"...provide safe and sanitary conditions for asylum seekers.

Hmmm... How's that working out for San Francisco?

I wonder what the results would be if first the pollster explained the legal requirements for asylum. Hint: living in a crime ridden shithole doesn’t cut it.

we should not be responsible for these people who purposely flooded our borders...period. They were asked ‘not to come here’ because we couldn’t handle these large crowds, yet they refused to listen behaving like invaders.

I frankly don’t care how they sleep or eat....they brought whatever they go through on themselves AND their children, with no concern on our own population whatsoever.
