Do some illegal aliens commit crimes while illegally in the country, including murder, rape, child sex trafficking?
Yes.
Do sanctuary city police hand over such criminals to ICE, so they can be deported?
No.
Why not?
Er.... 'sanctuary city'.
And why do 'sanctuary cities' exist in the US?
Cultural death wish.
You mean - people in 'sanctuary cities' who want to offer support to those fleeing war and poverty represent a cultural death wish?
Is that what all those illegal Chinese in the US are doing?? And the Indians, Pakistanis, Albanians, South Americans, Africans, Haitians, Vietnamese. Nigerians, Arabs?
Yes, except that China is eradicating poverty at the fastest rate in history, under one of the most stable governments in the world.
Quote:Who knew?
You certainly don't.
Quote:And the thousands on boats from France to England? Fleeing war and poverty in France?? Of course not.
Correct (...even a clock is corre..oh never mind)
Quote:It is all a massive con, this 'asylum' racket.
Well, yes: the UN - via the IMF and WB - should be ensuring prosperous development in all countries. Keynes presented such a proposal at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1943, but the US, soon to displace the UK re possessing the world's reserve currency, rejected Keynes' idea.
Quote:How many leave/are deported whose asylum claim is rejected?
Naturally asylum seekers - many of them decent people - try to resist deportation.
Quote: From Europe, almost none. From America - look at the squeeling and screeching if immigration law is enforced and fakes are depored.
Proving 'woke' Europe has a heart in a disastrous dog eat dog 'America First' world. Though the AfD and other European populists are reverting to 'survival of the fittest' (....not withstanding chimera's own 'interpretation' of that phrase).
Quote:Poverty is no reason for being a 'refugee', anyway.
Breath-takingly ignorant statement. Unemployment and poverty, and the resulting crime, endemic in the 3rd world, is motivation enough to flee....
Quote:Enlarging the grounds for asylum like that is dishonest but very wide spread.
Yes, it's based on
acceptance of the current disastrous global financial and trade arangements, which Conservatives don't care about because they are prospering quite well regardless, while more humanitarian-minded 'progressives' have been duped into thinking TINA ("there is no alternative").
Courtesy evil Neoclassical 'scarcity' dogma.
Quote:A lot, if not most of those people are leaving the shitdholes they hemselves made of their countries
Your error, macro-economics and poor government, not individuals, cause countries as 'shitdholes', as noted above.
Quote:and instead of assimilating to the civilised Western countries that take them in, they recreate the shiteholes in Western ghettoes they form.
You can see it in Australian cities, as well as in Europs and North America.
Er - Musk said he wants immigrants because "Americans are lazy and stupid"...
And Silicon Valley is crowded with wealthy Asians, while white "trailer trash" live in trailers and tents in LA and SF.
Quote:Countries are made in the image of their people. Somalia, Pakistan, Syria, are shiteholes because of the people.
Refuted above, repeating your errors won't make them correct.
Quote:Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Australia are lovely because of their people. And what makes a people? Their culture.
People and nations are made "lovely" by a sharing prosperous culture.
That's why governments must look to 'the general welfare', in a world where post WW2 migration cannot be reversed.
