If you insist they give up their culture immediately you will be seen as trying to take away their culture. Just like how gun rights advocates perceive attacks on gun culture.

Solidarity is a normal reaction to real or perceived hostility. In history the social pressure to assimilate resulted in immigrant collectivism in order to support each other; Chinatowns, little Italy and a myriad other ethnic enclaves formed partly because of this pressure.

That isn't evidence that officials just "set them up". That is evidence that officials are abiding by the laws and regulations that I pointed out which govern immigration and refugee processing.

You said there was "unrestricted immigration" and that they were "flooding" in but the link shows otherwise, it shows that there are restrictions in place and that they are being enforced. Getting upset over 0.00002% (of residents) per month is laughable. Even more when they are being apprehended and forced to go through the legitimate process. Edit: and it's not clear what proportion of those few hundred per month are actually entering by illegal border crossing; it has been said before that a majority of "illegal immigration" comes from people who overstay their Visa.

I was really drunk last night. So I opted to stop talking.

But your asking for proof of the people not getting caught. The link I gave you would be the closest you can get to that. That is an increased amount of people crossing the border. That is an increased amount of people being caught. Obviously, there are no stats for the people not being caught.

But these people being caught, are being fast tracked. They are not going through the same process as legal immigrants. They have no benefit to us. They had no benefit to the US. They never bothered to get citizenship there. We are spending resources to process these people. Then we are taking our tax money to provide for them. All for people who skip the tedious process of getting into our country properly.

No I also wanted evidence for statements like these:

If they would use these laws, then I'm okay. But they are not. Justin Trudeau has decided to ignore them.

Once they cross, we just set them up.

But these people being caught, are being fast tracked. They are not going through the same process as legal immigrants.

And, as I said in my last reply, you can't assume that all of the apprehendees actually crossed the border illegally.

We are spending resources to process these people.

If they apply for refugee asylum, which may not even be possible since direct applications are not accepted only referrals from UN refugee camps. Otherwise they must apply through the immigration procedure, where their record will be considered against them. If you are concerned about the cost of the immigration procedure I suggest you look at the fee schedule.

Then we are taking our tax money to provide for them.

If, after being apprehended, their refugee application is vetted and approved, again, not likely since direct refugee applications are not accepted and in consideration of their illegal entry. And refugees have citizen sponsors to support them.

All for people who skip the tedious process of getting into our country properly.

What is your concern? If they overstayed their visa that will count against them during the immigration evaluation.

You are mixing up refugees and immigrants. There are separate processes for each with their own restrictions.
