While all of those fleeing are fleeing for different reasons, after you have an honest discussion, the USA offers better economic conditions than most places. Therefore, I consider economic migration to always be a factor. If after someone came here for political reasons aren't they better off here economically? Same goes for the other reasons you listed. At the end of the day "economics" is and was a factor in their fleeing and coming here, and most certainly a big reason to stay here.

Absurd hyperbole. It is amazing how the U.S. is the richest and most powerful country on earth in the midst of "chaos." Ironically, what you see as chaos is one of the keys to our country's success.

Asylum is granted only if your persecuted due to you political views! Not because you want to make a better life for you and your kids! It's right in the Geneva convention and signed by all modern societies. Everyone of these asylum seekers is gonna be denied because they didn't apply in Mexico! Which isn't persecuting them! If Trump plays this out right Mexico could be on the hook for these fellons... kids and all!

Governments are equal opportunity oppressors, regardless of melatonin levels. Unless you are talking about affirmative action, etc.

Funny how so-called "progressives" favor larger, more intrusive and oppressive centralized controls over everyone's life.

Can we just run an airline
 

Unfortunately, we have a CEO who has put his employees in a hard spot because of his personal feelings or beliefs...not because of his fiduciary duty to the company.

There will be cases where children are being transported without their parents in the company of another adult....like a Cps agent.

There may also repercussions when time comes to renew service contracts with the various gov agencies.

None of this is about enhancing revenue or improving safety.

And of course now the employees are again placed in a spot where they may be asked about their CEO' political views.

I think Oscar would be well suited to the top job at Red Cross or UNICEF, where profits are ignored and political activism is expected.

Add American, Southwest, and Frontier to that list as well.... ;) Yay Baby

I can’t believe you’re worried that saying no to business that’s immoral, vile, and inhumane may risk future business with government contracts. Have a backbone for gods sake. Standing up for what’s right isn’t going to hurt the business and thankfully this belligerent administration has an expiration date.

Yeah serious drama queen stuff above. I’d rather field a question on CEO political views instead of whether we have killed any more puppies lately.

I have always stood for securing our border because without borders, you have no nation. But this policy is against our ethics and the core of what America and Americans are about. I have never been more embarrassed to be an American! We have national leadership that are a bunch of idiots.

I agree with most of what you said, but please don't parrot the idiotic Trump talking point in your first sentence. We have borders that are clearly defined legally, and yes we have to get our immigration policy fixed and in line with the wishes of our citizens. But these issues do not in any way prevent us from being a nation. In fact with all our challenges we are in fact the richest and most powerful nation on the planet, at least for now.
