Yes, you’re absolutely correct, the people arriving on the southern border seeking asylum definitely haven’t been through any kind of dehumanizing treatment along the way. Solid take. https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/06/06/mexico-asylum-seekers-face-abuses-southern-border https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/06/06/mexico-asylum-seekers-fa... https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2018/10/usa-treatment-of-asylum-seekers-southern-border/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2018/10/usa-... Maybe you need to diversify your news diet? “They just ask to come in then get put on planes” is a pretty widely discredited talking point.

Great links. I can tell you what actual happens though outside of the small amount of bad cases that end up in the news. I’m not getting anything i said above from news it’s literally how it worked for 5 different people i personally know. All coming at different times. Also didn’t say it wasn’t dehumanizing but guess how long a K1 or CR1 visa has to wait to bring the person they are married to into the country.

  These aren’t news articles. And they’re not individual sensationalized cases. For example, the amnesty link mentions 8000 families being separated.

    But this commenter has an n of 5! That's better than 80,000

  So because five people you know weren't harmed you're saying things like family separation aren't a big deal? As stated in the links, CBP themselves admitted to splitting up over 6,000 families. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the wait times for marriage visas but at least those waiting aren't forcibly separated from children and kept in detention facilities.

  >"Great links. I can tell you what actual happens though outside of the small amount of bad cases that end up in the news." And photographs of people sitting in cages rather than being "flown to the destination of their choice" are of course fake.

  Wow an n of 5. Great sample size. I love anecdotal data, so reliable
