The problem is that if they are put on the government documents as being illegal immigrants then they will be deported as soon as an alt right mayor gets in office. Asylum only works on a governments generosity, while jumping the border allows for a sense of security. Worse there are the TPS refugees that crossed the border back in the 90's and were promised amnesty by the Federal government, and are now being deported by non sanctuary cities.
I believe in borders, but making it out to be that only criminals are the people that are being deported, is just plain false.
As for the art, it was well drawn, so keep that up man.
