We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The federal government is supposed to handle the migrants, not the locals, and not the state. When states and local governments have to handle migrants that is the duty of the federal government, why do the locals, and the state have to spend money for something it has no jurisdiction over? The federal government can't fund the administration of its own laws. That is a fundamental government failure.
I still don't know what law you're talking about. Most of the people crossing the border are requesting asylum and doing so in compliance with the law
That is not the problem for the states or cities, that is the problem for the federal government. It is a federal policy, not a state, or city policy, so why are cities and states the de facto customs & border agency? Because the federal government fails in the duties it has given itself. You defeat your own argument.
It sounds like you're advocating increasing funding so the federal government can house all these people. Or maybe you're advocating we let them have work.permits so they can house themselves, since they're coming here looking for work anyway
No, illegally immigrating is a seperate act from requesting asylum. They can request asylum at a port of entry. Any official border crossing will do.
