Asylum isn’t automatically awarded, there’s a review process.

That’ll get sorted at the next election.

Triggered response?

Agreed. But perhaps the objectives were not clear to all, or the initial success was just as much a surprise to the Hamas fighters who then got carried away with a bit of enthusiasm driven mission creep. Hamas commanders are sure aware of how long it takes/how quickly Israel can bring troops to combat an attack. They must also be very aware that Israel will respond with overwhelming force, a clearly understood outcome before the first rockets were launched. Whatever Hamas’ objectives, Palestinian civilians are expendable in their plan.

The success was in no small part due to the failure of Israel’s Intelligence Services.

Tin foil hat alert.

You people who want to be free and work for a better life. Sounds like the American Dream to me.

It also requires having valid travel documents, often denied to people who are being oppressed by their government. So that would make their traveling across a border to seek asylum illegal too. Except it doesn’t.

Skipped epidemiology class then?!

I wonder if ‘Trump’s wall’ will be called Biden’s wall?

Refer top of World News page: ”Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source.”

Excellent. Unfortunately a large number innocents have and will pay a heavy price for those political maneuvers.

Yet to be learned. How many eyes for an eye and teeth for a tooth.

Unless to seek asylum where that nation is a signatory to the international convention on refugees.

People seeking asylum is a thing. Illegal entry to seek asylum is not. People fleeing oppression to a new life in America is definitely a thing.

Illegally entering to seek asylum is not a thing. Entering to seek asylum is not illegal.

No it is not.

There is absolutely no requirement or compulsion under the international treaties to which the US is a signatory that someone fleeing oppression must seek asylum in the first safe place they arrive. Do I need to repeat that 9 more times?

It all depends on the reason for entry. Entering to seek asylum is not illegal, I think I’ve explained that to you a few times in the past.

We should have a thread on ‘Is AI Objective’.

I’m at least pleased you accept immigrants as persons.

I doubt the vast majority of Palestinians have had any say in the matter.

Immigrants to America becoming citizens. My goodness, that’s new.

“Those cities now allow all residents over age 18 to vote in city elections, regardless of citizenship status. Noncitizen voting in federal elections remains illegal nationwide.” Storm in a tea cup.

Well then they would be…… citizens. Doh!
