ICE agents are dangerous rejects who couldn't get jobs as legitimate police officers! Get out of our cities!

they go after pedophiles and invaders bro

To maga, "invader" just means any non white person who moves here

No we mean people who illegally cross our borders
We don't care if theyre white or not

Have you read the law concerning border crossings? Only asking because under the law, there's no actual way to illegally cross the border.

You have to go through customs
Thats the legal way

Nope; that's *story* that people with anti-immigration political agendas want you to believe, likely hope you won't question, won't fact-check. Why? Because, per 8 U.S.C. § 1158, there's no legal obligation whatsoever to cross the border at a Customs checkpoint/official entry point.

You need permission and usually a VISA to cross over here

Did you not read or just not understand 8 U.S.C. § 1158?

Dude, this is for asylums

"Well there must be some concequence of border hopping in there somewhere right"

In the cross-referenced if/thens, sort of. But even then, most of the cross-references circle back to petition for political asylum loop-hole.

Yes. And anyone who chooses can take advantage of this law -thus negating issues of permissions and visas. How do you not comprehend that?

So they can come in here without customs as long as they're going to an asylum

So long as they file for political asylum within 1 year, yes. And if they leave the country without running afoul of the judicial system, the clock effectively resets.

Alright then thank you

Additionally, in a realistic sense, if they crossed unobserved it doesn't matter how long they've been in country -if they don't run afoul of the judicial system they may enter a claim for asylum whenever they feel like it and the burden is on the government to prove they've been this side of the border longer than a year.

But crossing here unchecked is by itself afoul of the judicial system
If not by customs or asylum

"But why that code, if it only applies to asylums"

Because the government has a bad habit of passing laws and then passing more laws that negate the first laws. Or passing a first law and then passing more laws that are effectively rendered void by the first law. Chalk it up to headless chicken factor.

Well to me it feels like you're trying to explain free speech by using the 2nd amendment

"Well to me it feels like you're trying to explain free speech by using the 2nd amendment"

That's kind of the size of it, ngl. Look at it this way: United States Code is 54,000 pages long and the odds of anyone in Congress or the White House being up to speed on all of it are very low. So technical loopholes like § 1158 happen.

Well there must be some concequence of border hopping in there somewhere right

Paragraph (1), and section (B)

8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum

(a)Authority to apply for asylum
(1)In general
Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (>>>whether or not at a designated port of arrival<<< and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), >>>irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.<<<

(2)Exceptions
(A)Safe third country
Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien if the Attorney General determines that the alien may be removed, pursuant to a bilateral or multilateral agreement, to a country (other than the country of the alien’s nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, the country of the alien’s last habitual residence) in which the alien’s life or freedom would not be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and where the alien would have access to a full and fair procedure for determining a claim to asylum or equivalent temporary protection, unless the Attorney General finds that it is in the public interest for the alien to receive asylum in the United States.

>>>(B)Time limit
Subject to subparagraph (D), paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien unless the alien demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the application has been filed within 1 year after the date of the alien’s arrival in the United States.<<<

Its still for asylums 🗣🗣🗣

"But crossing here unchecked is by itself afoul of the judicial system
If not by customs or asylum"

Nope. So long as 8 U.S.C. § 1158 is on the books, crossing the border away from an official entry point isn't a criminal act. Some argument could be made for culpability given that it's classified as a misdemeanor; but that's where § 1158 comes into play, quashes any potential for a misdemeanor charge upon request for political asylum.

But why that code, if it only applies to asylums

Yes. And 8 U.S.C. § 1158's leeway operates as a blanket, effectively eliminates permission & visa requirements for anyone crossing into the U.S. at any location with a grace period of 1 year in which to file an asylum claim. See how that works?

No
Where are you getting that

Bullshit

Nearly half of ice applicants couldn't even pass a written open book exam. They're probably illiterate like pedotrump

Correct!

Minneapolis anti-Ice protesters are notifying friends and relatives working at local fast-food chains when they see ICE agents pulling up to order fast food at the drive-thrus. Ice agents are getting little extra "ptooey" flavorings added to their orders.

Well shame on those fast food workers

Yes... libs are disgusting

And if it was MAGA caterers doing the same to food delivered to a Democrat rally?
