The commissioner asked the building superintendent to take him to his boss. That turned out to be Trump Management.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/19/us-mexico-border-migrants-claim-asylum-difficulties

Antelope Wells, the closest port of entry to where Jakelin and her father crossed, receives possibly the least amount of traffic of any port of entry across the US-Mexican border. There is literally nothing there, said Nia Rucker of the New Mexico American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Those who monitor the border describe just how hard making a claim there can be. Juan Ortiz, a University of Arizona PhD candidate, took the four-hour drive from Tucson on 17 December to see Antelope Wells for himself. The two border officers on duty that day told him they would discourage people from seeking asylum there at a port with such limited capacity.

Experts and advocates up and down the border share a similar skepticism of small border posts. Though US border officials say asylum seekers are being accepted at all border ports of entry, activists who have tested the system paint a similar picture of US officials unwilling or unable to accept asylum claims no matter that the administration is asking migrants to present themselves there.


Doesn't sound like they actually want people to do this "the right way" to me.

But I'm not "lying" when I say that I have reason to believe it's 90%.


And here is the issue. You're outright refusing to look at this from any different viewpoint from the one you came into this topic with even when presented with conflicting evidence. Even ignoring the humanitarian side of this most aspects of immigration have easily sourced statistics. It's not that hard to verify this stuff yet you're still hanging on to this obvious misrepresentation of the data.

There is no confusion other than what's intentionally put forth by the people trying to justify the existence of for-profit concentration camps.

It almost seems like they're intentionally being cruel to children.

https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/12/politics/trump-admin-ending-women-children-asylum-program/index.html

The program was piloted by the Obama administration after a 2014 crisis in detention centers brought on by a surge of families and unaccompanied minors trying to cross the border with the US.
The move is the latest effort under President Donald Trump to prioritize immigration enforcement and deportations over policies he argues incentivized people trying to come to the US illegally. But critics say it will place an undue burden on traumatized families with legitimate asylum claims.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/us/politics/fact-check-trump-immigration-.html

In the 2017 fiscal year, about 28 percent of immigrants failed to attend their court hearings not the 97 percent Mr. Trump estimated.

Among asylum seekers, only 11 percent did not show up for legal proceedings. Of the asylum seekers who participated in a pilot program tested as an alternative to detention, 99 percent attended Immigration and Custom Enforcement check-ins and appointments. And 100 percent turned up for court hearings.

The Trump administration ended the pilot program last June.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/immigrants-free-leave-detention/

Migrants in detention facilities are in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and attempting to leave a facility without authorization is a criminal offense. The option of "voluntary departure" is blocked off to many by significant legal and financial barriers, and the entire process is subject to the authority and discretion of immigration officials and courts. Migrants cannot simply "leave at any time."

Or, to put it more accurately, they have not been allowed to wash in 40 days.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/13/politics/congressional-democrats-visit-texas-border-facilities-migrants/index.html

A group of more than a dozen House Democrats toured border detention facilities in McAllen, Texas, on Saturday, recounting "inhumane" conditions including overcrowded cells, rampant disease, and asylum seekers who had not washed or brushed their teeth for weeks.


Speier and Rep. Annie Kuster of New Hampshire, who was also on the trip, both described seeing about 40 men in cells meant to accommodate less than a dozen occupants at the first facility.
"They have not washed in 40 days, they have not brushed their teeth and those are circumstances that we can't tolerate, because prisoners in our country get better healthcare than that," Speier said, adding that "It's inhumane -- we've got to move these populations to other locations."


Also, a reminder that seeking asylum is not illegal regardless of the method of entry.

https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/414653-to-be-clear-seeking-asylum-at-the-border-is-not-illegal

On the other hand they cannot "leave at any time" which seems to be a popular talking point as of late

Critically Ill

https://www.newsweek.com/migrant-detention-center-conditions-child-separation-abuse-trauma-trump-1449043

Elora Mukherjee, the director of Columbia Law School's Immigrants' Rights Clinic, recently interviewed 70 detained migrant children in Clint, Texas. They were so dirty they had a stench, she says, and was unable to be near them without feeling ill.


Over the course of three days, Mukherjee said she witnessed inadequate bedding, clothing, and saw no hygiene tools like soap, toothbrushes and diapers.

"Never before have we learned of 700 children being detained in a facility built for 104 or 106 adults," Mukherjee said in her testimony. "Never before have we met with children detained in [Customs and Border Patrol] custody for a week, much less weeks and nearly a month. Never before have we had to directly intervene to get critically ill babies admitted to the hospital."


Mukherjee was part of a 10-person team sent to inspect conditions at the holding centers to make sure they complied with court-ordered standards that the camps be "safe and sanitary." The group was allowed to speak to detained children but they were denied free access or even tours of the facility.

"The extraordinary trauma inflicted on separated children is not an incidental byproduct of the administration's family separation policy it is the very point," she said in her testimony. "The federal government seeks to inflict so much distress on children seeking asylum that other families would be deterred from trying to seek refuge in this country."


The Trump administration is creating a crisis that's going to be felt for years to come.

Evidence of extreme and rising economic inequality in the US is quite overwhelming. In 1979, the top 1% earned about 9% of all income; in 2017, the top 1% earned 22% of all income. More than half of all income growth since 1976 has ended up in the pockets of the top 1%. The incomes of the top 0.1% have grown even faster. In 1965 the typical CEO earned about 20 times as much as the average worker. In 2017, this ratio was 311. And corporate profits continue to break records.
