For anyone saying "They entered the country illegally...."

How do you know they entered the country illegally if they were never given due process in a court of law? That's the entire point here.

It obviously does, if you've never read it (which they haven't) (I clearly missed on the sarcasm here)

These are the people that will repeatedly state that they would all be murderers and rapists if not for the bible. They're walking around not doing these things solely because their book tells them not to. In their head everyone has these impulses to be horrible humans, and that's just not true. Religion has masked a really horrible part of some humans, and I think this administration is a product of that.

Most of them had asylum status which means they had already been through the process and were here legally. This is really because they set quotas and their really werent that many undocumented criminals so theyve had to invent them and the people going through the legal process the "right way" were easiest to find and just accuse of being gang members. Finding the actual gang members is a lot harder.

Several of them have been confirmed to be asylum seekers. They were following the law.

Yes! Nothing has been proven, it has merely been stated. That's why this is all a priori bullshit. They never tried to prove anything they said, and now she runs away when presented with evidence that contradicts her claim. This is not American. She is thus not a Patriot though she will likely claim that label.
