We need to name the refugees needlessly killed by Texas’ cruel border demagoguery.

    If more humane border is feasible for preventing illegal crossing then that’s of course good. I wonder what would need to happen in the US to make the border effective, if it is even possible.

    And even better than any of these: we need to actually give fair hearings for asylum seekers.

    I think that’s often brought up in Europe how illegal crossers circumvent the system and “skip the line” for asylum seekers, also hardening the attitudes towards them. Better border control and more proper asylum seekers would be good.

      I think the best course of action is helping Mexico with the cartel problem so people stop wanting or even needing to cross the border. Grain of salt though, the leaders of Mexico are in the pockets of the cartels.

        Tackling the problem at the source is of course best overall, but it is also a lot slower and harder than tougher border control. But of course it’s not just one or the another
