... It's pretty clear the author is using the terms "migrants," "immigrants" and "asylum-seekers" interchangeably. Which is incorrect. Of course it is because that's far easier for you than to admit that you were wrong. It is really hard for you three to admit that.

My position is that we should not put children in jails. Our immigration system is inhumane and cruel and the border "crisis" we've experienced for my entire life is a result of inhumane and cruel economic and foreign policy. These things are a choice but I don't get to make those choices. Joe Biden does, at least on some of it. I feel quite comfortable with this position. Your solution was to give them a couple sandwiches and a bus ticket. Show me the lie: So your solution is to just set them free with a pat on the head and maybe a map? A couple hot meals, a hotel room, and maybe a bus ticket would be better than a detention center.

Sometimes I wonder if there's a rugby forum out there with an Off the Net section that delves into politics and moody is constantly doing battle as their version of holiday.

Of course it is because that's far easier for you than to admit that you were wrong. It is really hard for you three to admit that. The author uses the same 3 terms to refer to the same numbers. Literally, in 3 of the first 4 paragraphs: "A recent increase in the number of unaccompanied minors..." "In January, 5,871 unaccompanied immigrants under age 18 crossed the border, up from 4,995 in December..." "The number of unaccompanied asylum-seekers..." This doesn't even require a knowledge of asylum law to understand he's using the 3 terms interchangeably lol. It's context clues and reading comprehension.

You should reach out and get a hold of the author. Let them no that there are no asylum seekers at the southern border.

Dude, come on. donut has repeatedly pointed out to you that not all people who cross the border looking to immigrate are seeking asylum, and your response now is to claim that's the same thing as saying "no people crossing the border are seeking asylum". It's a pathetic attempt at a straw man.
