If Ron DeSantis hates communism, he shouldn't weaponize victims of communism

I don't understand this current talking point.

I mean, while it's true all of these people will eventually have to go to court, that's hardly reason they need to remain within a few feet of immigration court until that day. People schedule lives around court dates all the time - especially when those court dates might very well be years in the future.

Of course all of this ignores the fact that a huge number of asylum seekers just ignore that court date altogether and, with no real way to be tracked, disappear into the United States hopefully (from their point of view) never to be picked up again. Democrats certainly aren't losing sleep over this. I mean I could understand if you were demanding that all asylum seekers be held in detention facilities until those court dates that are suddenly so important but you're not.

Asylum seekers need to be free to roam the country ... but just not in the areas where wealthy Democrats live.
