On Tuesday’s “NewsNation Live” broadcast, Chicago Alderman and Democratic Rep. Raymond Lopez said immigrants are “basically manipulating the asylum process at the behest of President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas” and have not drawn the line. He said that
Lopez said that due to a lack of state and federal aid, “Chicago taxpayers are feeling the pinch…and this year, especially with the Democratic National Convention focusing on all the great issues… I think that dissatisfaction will reach a boiling point because of this.” You’re trying to ignore the policies of my Democratic Party, and at the same time you’re trying to ignore the problems they’ve caused with a broken immigration system. ”
He added: “Overwhelmingly, the vast majority of people who come across the border want to work. They want something better. And I still believe that we all want to work. I love the fact that this is a country that they want to reach. But what we have to remember is that they are basically manipulating the asylum process at the behest of President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas. , you’re expecting some refugees to jump over the millions of people who came here for the same purpose, for the exact same reasons, and they’re not getting some kind of support. , we’re seeing the harsh reality of what it’s like to be in America without any support right off the ship, as the saying goes.”
Lopez also said that both Republicans and Democrats ignore DACA recipients, who cannot work to support themselves. Mr. López also said that solving the problem would require asylum claims to be adjudicated more quickly, but he doesn’t think there is a solution because both sides prefer to use the immigration system to score political points. He also said that there are.
