13435120, Good intentions, but worded America’s mission incorrectly. Posted by allStah, Fri Jun-11-21 12:52 PM
Asylum seekers by law need to come to America to have their cases processed, so saying “don’t come here” is too universal of a statement. She was trying to address the dangers that are involved with trying to cross the border, but immigrants don’t need to be told the obvious, and it comes off as condescending, and that’s the way it was perceived. So that was a fumble on her part.
Her mission is to identify what is forcing or causing people to desperately leave Central American countries, and to work with Central Americans governments on developing a plan to combat it.
She has to realize that this a very sensitive plight, and she is going to be under a huge microscope of the media and the GOP.
However, she will be okay. It was just a slight verbal misstep, and keep in mind, the Biden administration is trying to clean up the immigration mess that Trump created..... So let’s not lose focus here.
