illegally*. When they do enter the country illegally they do not go through the same processes as one who is doing it legally, therefore I don’t think it affects the processing times. I assume most enter undetected. So I don’t get what you’re trying to say? What should change?

Let’s try not to be emotional but logical about this process. I understand it’s long and tedious! Based on backlogs and uscis being who they are, we have to wait after filing and when our turn comes, we get approved and moved to the next phase. We can only hope and expect the best for our case to be processed quickly 🙏🏼

Dude, it’s not like those who are entering the US illegally are living the perfect American lifestyle once they do. They have no protections and are constantly living in fear of being deported. It’s not like you’re suffering from their decision

not against them at all i understand there needs of a better life but we should be encouraged more to do the right thing on our side with better service and treatment.

Totally agree that our immigration system needs to be reformed. But it’s not like the people entering the US illegally are doing so because USCIS wait times are too long 😉

@No Dice well lets start a movement bro

I'm from South Texas and ppl come in Caravans and are approved asylum within a 30 days they are also granted a check and get more help then us U.S citizens therefore I don't agree on that And I'm specifically speaking upon Salvadorians and Hundurians not Mexicans

Asylum takes 30 days to process? I’m 100% sure it don’t but okay

Happy New Year when they come in Thousands and flood our Borders you would be surprised 😉 but OKAY

It's funny you say that when I seen some one on here get approved without an expedite in a 2 week process no interview no nothing ...🤣

there has been caravans as big as 15,000 in our border do your research and just maybe you can gain a bit more knowledge about what's really going on

Stop watching Fox News 😂

No need to watch the news when it's behind my back yard ..🤣

No need to explain myself to airhead who will not comprehend..✌🏻

Charming! Good luck on getting your GED 😘

The process includes background checks and I’m certain the wait for a biometrics is more than two weeks, but if you say it’s so then I guess it’s so

No need for a GED when I own my construction business ! Would you like My business card too ? You know it's sad many and plenty think Education is everything when it's not 😉 I will be more then happy to prove my point with a glance of my Bank account aswell as my website Never judge a person by a profile picture 😉✌🏻

“My qualification is that I live in Texas!” Oh, my apologies, you clearly are an expert on immigration and asylum policy (which are two distinct things btw)

Oh, my bad. Everyone knows construction business owners are experts on immigration policy. Of course you’re qualified to discuss this. I concede!

I aswell live in Texas Rio Grande City is my Hometown Rio Grande River is in my back yard within a 30 mile radius we have 3 international bridges and Border Patrol Stations but ok your the type of person that can see it happening and your still choose to be Stevie Wonder 😎✌🏻

oh and I'm sure your an expert 😆 On Lawfully .

I said I concede! You’re an immigration policy genius! Thank goodness you’re putting your policy expertise to such good use as a construction business owner in Texas. Thank you for your service 🫡

This government is just a piece of shit. They prioritize other illegals more than their own citizens. How can they allow illegals from South America to the US and give them work visas within days and Ukrainians as well, while leaving their own citizens- US citizens suffer separation, not approving their cases, (my case is already almost 600 days, as a US citizen filing for my wife and kid.) It’s a useless government and they have lost my vote this November and 2024. I’ll rather vote republicans with their “America first” agenda, I think that will be the smartest thing to do now. kick dems out.

Lol… poor wit

🫡whos in for a movement

we will take the streets with our flyers and banners to proclaim what needs to be done

whos with me

Andy God Your Woke say it louder for the airheads in the back 👏 Our government is quick to respond to disasters in other countries sent millions that later will turn into billions to Ukraine but not help our own country that says alot about a President who left millions of dollars worth of artillery,weapons in the middle east when we all know America's militarys most basic responsibility is keeping track of our firearms and any other weapon used for our defense speaks about jobs for American citizens and how labor is the lowest it had been well why not bring all U.S manufactures back to our country like fruit of the loom 98 percent of our house hold items is made in China, why ? when we can have our company in U.S and not have to pay import expenses like we do we are making China richer as we fall..

@Judith, well all you said is true but what has the other party done, the last 4yrs when they were there. I’m pretty sure they can’t do any better. All they do is to create hate and fear in the minds of people. The head of the other pol. party has so much vested interest in china, India and other countries because it’s cheaper to make products there. Cost of labor is cheaper. Anyway, I don’t want to go too much into politics. The only thing I know is, these other guys-( rep) would do better is immigration, esp with their mantra- America first. We need to be treated first before any others.

It’s apparent @andy god and @Judith Howard have no understanding of basic economics… the concept of absolute advantage, and comparative advantage is why this happens. The government has no say in companies outsourcing labor, that’s a simple concept of trying to minimize cost which then maximizes profit. That said let’s say the companies move their all production back to the United States, then y’all start complaining about why things getting so expensive then blame a president saying they’re raising prices. And no presidents don’t control prices. just saying

@Happy New Year, apparently you didn’t read my message at all. Read it again to have an understanding of my point and then respond. Btw, I’m not talking about economics, we are talking immigration here. 🙄

The fact that people like @andy god and @judith can vote (and do!) is genuinely terrifying. Just completely and proudly ignorant of basic macroeconomics, history, and international relations.

Ah yes because economics and immigration are in no way tied. People just sneak across the border on a whim, because they feel like it 😂

if you can’t even spell simple “illegally” how in the world would you make any sense. and what makes you think they processing the so called (elligally) faster? all cases are different all you can do like many of us here is to be patient and keep your republican opinions to yourself.

@Andy God all I’m doing is simply explaining to you the basic reason why it is the way it is

I honestly don’t care who they vote for that’s their constitutional right. I’m just concerned about how they choose who to vote for.

It’s the confidence in their opinions that gets me.

Confidence or no confidence, good spelling or bad spelling… politics or voting shouldn’t be your way or no way/ the high way. Sometimes it’s good to be civil. As an American, I have the constitutional right to vote without been harassed by anyone. If I find that the person I voted for 2yrs ago isn’t performing to my satisfaction, I have the constitutional rights to vote whoever I want. My opinions don’t matter to anyone, just as your opinions don’t matter to me. I vote whoever I want to vote for without any fear or favor by/from anyone. 🤝

@Andy God we’re on the same page on that… I don’t think you’re being harassed I don’t know or care who you voted for. It’s a legit question, so the speed of your immigration case determine who you vote for? Or the fact that private companies outsource their labor?

Just curious what determines your satisfaction and this is not to ridicule or belittle you or your reasoning.

Again, it doesn’t matter why I’m voting either ways. My vote can change tomorrow. That’s why I’m an independent voter. And historically, it’s independent voters that determines who wins an election. and There are a lot of other factors that determine who I vote for. I’m not a sheep that goes with the flow, I look, access and make a determination of who I vote for.

You’re well within your right to not answer, however, I didn’t ask why you vote for which party I asked what determines your level of satisfaction for whoever is in charge. I will say I’m a US citizen who is also independent, and quite frankly I don’t care who you vote for.

Ok, I’ll give you a hint, since you insist on me answering your question, because what determines my level of satisfaction in an individual is the same as why I’ll vote for whoever I wanna vote for. So, what determines my level of satisfaction in any party/individual differs and is relative.I could score an individual 80% and still not vote for him/her. I could score another a 40% and go all out to vote for such person. “to whom much is given, much is expected”!!! That’s how far I could go in my explanation... sorry if this doesn’t satisfy you or answer your question. 🤷🏽‍♂️
