Ted didn't break any law. He did not try to sneak across the border and make some incognito residence in Mexico. If he had, Mexico would have jailed him and deported him.

There is a process for refugees to enter. Clandestine unvetted caravans is not part of the process.

You seem to be advocating for millions of folks being able to sneak in and settle here. And seem to be saying that all of them are "refugees." Immigrating to another country in order to make a better life does not qualify for refugee status.

You seem to be saying that borders, or at least US borders, are what is illegal or just plain wrong.

Do you advocate for anyone just walking in and setting up residence? Do you believe we should accept a constant flow of millions of people because they were impoverished in the place from whence they came? There are around 700 million people worldwide who are impoverished. Should they all be allowed to, unannounced, come on in?
