They were often running from the very same things and coming for the same other reasons, but we processed them differently.
    Ellis Island had many restrictions on admission, to include dimness.

    What gets me is the hypocrisy of Mexico not wanting immigrants. LOL
    Right, and asylum laws require migrates to seek asylum in the first country they enter.

    That is $#@!ed up.

    Too bad that Mexicans 2000 miles south of Tijuana didn't act in kind. We would not have this impending mess to deal with.

    Yea, I follow people who are over there. The news is not telling us there were around 5 thousand yesterday there and more expected this week. People are angry, they claim many of these are causing chaos, disrupting, acting like the food given to them isn't up to par, threatening their jobs in the US because many have green cards to work in the US and go back and forth every day. It was closed close to 4 hours just today. One guy warned Mexicans to stay inside this week, for the purge. They also had an earthquake today and the volcano in Guatemala has people fleeing.

One of the top issues that derail the process are the number of people who skip the preliminary steps in the process adding stress to the system.
    The United States has been the top destination for international migrants since at least 1960, with one-fifth of the world's migrants living there as of 2017.
    I posted a typo. I meant to say that our system is not up to the job.

    What's your point? They used to call Down's syndrome "Idiot Mongoloid" too.
