I do think she set a record for the number of lies.
What is a colorable claim? I’ve never heard that terminology before. Is that a legal term?
“colorable claim that you’re coming from a horrible country that has horrible things happening, ”
What is a “colorable claim”?
They are coming from horrible places around the world into Mexico and Canada. I believe the rules for asylum state that you must request asylum in the first country available, so unless these are Mexicans or Canadians asking for asylum they shouldn’t be here.
“The law on asylum is really clear. If you have a colorable claim that you’re coming from a horrible country that has horrible things happening, you have a right to come here.”
Bull shit
She says the law on Asylum is so clear.
One aspect of how clear it is, is that you must present yourself at a port of entry ,,in order to ask for asylum. You cannot just sneak into this country and then claim Asylum.
So she thinks this law is so clear but she clearly misunderstands one key aspect of the law , which she allegedly understands so clearly.
“you’re coming from a horrible country that has horrible things happening, you have a right to come here.”
According to the dems America is a horrible country where horrible things happen to minorities. Send them back for their own good.
A “horrible country”?
Sounds a bit like how Trump described a few African destinations, does it not?
I wonder what the sum total population is of the countries she deems horrible—and how well they’d all fit here.
Kristen, remember Democrat’s policy number 1, “We don’t need no stinking badges!” So remember this, if a liberal President can just change laws with rules, then so can Trump!
Hmmm...do I read a slight defense of NY in that statement...I wonder...
” bid3n (you don’t f with a biden) can’t”
yeah ok Gillibrand- since when has the Biden regime listened to or followed any law? He even ignores sc rulings.
Infact gilli- he is ignoring immigration laws altogether, so don’t give us that crap about how he is “bound by the law” and “must abide by the law” because we all know he clearly isn’t. Don’t piss on us and tell us you arent!
Most other countries are TWSHs. What a fidiot!
the illegal invaders posing as asylum seekers have been coached on what is a colorable claim
Nope.
The international law stipulates that if you are in danger of death or jail for political reason or group persecution (like Jews in Germany), you should be given asylum.
Providing that
YOU MUST APLY FOR ASYLUM IN THE FIRST COUNTRY IT IS SAFE FOR YOU TO DO!
That at minimum Mexico, if not e.g. Guatemala or Ecuador.
Practically only Cuban refuges can apply for asylum in the US, nd only if they can prove thay were pesecuted there.
“Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) claimed that President Joe Biden can’t reverse his reversal of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies because “The law on asylum is really clear.”
This is just a plain and simple lie.
I’m sorry, lady, but we cannot and will not be the dumping ground for every hard luck story anywhere in the world. It’s time for someone else to be the planet’s savior until such time as all of our problems were solved and we are no longer in debt.
“If you have a colorable claim that you’re coming from a horrible country that has horrible things happening, you have a right to come here.”
Where does this “right to come here” crap come from? This woman is certifiably nuts.
Has Gillibrand or Biden done an analysis on how many people that would be? Four billion?
Schumer gave a big speech on the floor of the Senate claiming Trump and Republicans oppose their efforts to secure the border because Democrats are trying to make the border security “too strong” for them.
The continuing narrative is that the reason the border is out of control is because Republicans - at the behest of Trump - did not pass a bill in 2024. Somehow, that caused Biden to issue all of those executive orders in 2021 weakening border security dramatically and reversing Trump policies which had been successful. Republicans in 2024 somehow caused Biden to do all of that back in 2021.
But the press, of course, does not mention all of Biden’s actions in 2021 and goes along with it being that it is Trump and the Republicans who have caused it and Biden is being hamstrung in his desire to fix it.
