        You think people are smuggling fentanyl into the US this way? Do you realize how inneficient that would be. Drugs like that are brought in by the truckload not in a 90 count bottle of blood pressure medication.

        A look at your profile reveals that you are pursuing a political agenda and are only here to spread right-wing propaganda. One question: Do you actually get paid to do that?

          I don’t agree with that person, but you’re criticizing said person for having opinions and writing about it. They don’t owe you writing less, writing left-wing propaganda, or reducing their interest in politics.
          You could write “you’re an asshole!” and you would be right, but don’t take away a person’s right to comment stuff on the internet.

            I have no problem at all with someone expressing their opinion, even if that opinion is not mine. But this account is less than a day old and posts exclusively pro-Trump content. From this I conclude that it is a fake account run by a think tank or similar. I think it’s important to point this out, because organized opinion manipulation with enormous financial resources has nothing to do with free discourse - quite the opposite.

            Is that so? And what exactly makes you a patriot?

            Anyway, to clarify: it’s just hard to imagine that there can be people who are so deluded that they would follow the dull whataboutism, all those hateful, irrational and mostly simply false accusations of the MAGA people out of their own conviction - people who are not able to see through that at all. So it’s more of a compliment that your account is perceived as a fake account set up to achieve political power interests. Because if it isn’t, which I still very much doubt, you can only be one of those useful idiots who are so small-minded that they allow themselfs to be played for cards against their own interests.

            Aka any male from like 9 to 90 who has two arms and can hold a weapon if conscripted/pressed.

        It’s easy enough to find out if the meds they have isn’t fentanyl. If they’re routinely using them without dropping dead then they’re telling the truth. I don’t want to hear “but they might have them disguised among the pills” or some other nonsense.

          So the fuck what if they are. They’re not being put into American prisons or society, the risk of them being fent does not influence anything other than the well-being of themselves and anyone else near them dumb enough to take an unknown substance for free considering they don’t have personal belongings in these migrant prisons. It’s just unadulterated malice.

          Police cant make them ingest the pills to see if they drop dead or not and fentanyl pills are disguised as other pills all the time. And it’s not like they’re being singled out, anytime you get arrested and have pills on you, it’s not like they hold them for you until you’re out of jail. You never see them pills again.

      IMO, open borders are risky because not everyone trying to get through is a poor family or worker. There are a lot of bad actors out there, and you definitely don’t want people like that getting through without resistance. Think drug dealers, human traffickers, other types of organized criminals, including foreign agents. Sadly, the world isn’t just people operating on good will.

          From what I’ve seen, the foreign border control is the main line of control, that’s why they separate lines into people with EU passports and other passports. It’s the same as moving without border control between US states 🤷‍♀️

          (b) Improper time or place; civil penalties Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of— (1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or (2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection. Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.

            Hey, I got not dog in this fight here, but that’s kind of a self-own. 8 U.S.C. § 1325 makes it a crime to unlawfully enter the United States. The US government literally calls it unlawful & a criminal offense for improper entry to the USA.

            Bonkers to me that you didn’t do 30 seconds of research.

            Also, I noticed you left out section (a) which discusses imprisonment for illegal entry to the USA.

              Except it doesn’t. Section a) only covers lies told to border patrol not the entry by itself. Each section when reading US law is read separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

                (a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts

                Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

                “Entering the US at any place other than as designated by immigration officers.” is not fleeing or lies. I genuinely don’t understand why you keep misrepresenting stuff that’s a click away.

              Your own link states:

              Section 1325 sets forth criminal offenses relating to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien, (2) entry into marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws, and (3) establishing a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) amended 8 U.S.C. § 1325 to provide that an alien apprehended while entering or attempting to enter the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty.

              So civil penalty without enhancements like fleeing immigration officials.
