How is the US responsible for Mexicans raping other Mexicans? Is it our responsibility to stop all bad things from happening or just those that happen in Mexico? Should we have a police force on Mexican soil?

Because they are not from Mexico, they are from elsewhere. They applied for asylum in the US, and that policy had US immigration agents force them to go to Mexico to wait years for an asylum hearing.

I can't see "US" and "Mexico" from space.

Mexicans are US Americans human neighbors.

You are speaking with an adult. These arguments do not work on me. I pay income tax to the US, not Mexico, and if I don't, the US throws me in a real prison cell. Countries are very real to me.

Out of curiosity, what would your response be if Putin said "I can't see Russia and Ukraine from space, I am just providing security support for my human neighbors"

Ones talking about asylum, you’re talking about bombing campaigns

The invasion of Ukraine started with Crimea, in which Russian forces were in either unmarked uniforms or without uniforms.

Parent was talking about how they can not "see" USA and Mexico from space, so the topic I am addressing is borders and the control of borders.

If we don't want to acknowledge borders when it comes to asylum seekers, how can we expect others to respect them when it is easier for them to ignore them.

...Because we're all human beings?
