And then add to that the reality that the cartels are making a massive amount of moneyā¦I forget who it was but a border patrol official on Fox a few days ago said anyone who tries to cross without paying the cartels s going to end up deadā¦
ā Cartels or transnational criminal organizations are taking advantage of the situation that weāre in. [ā¦] They charge every single person that comes across that border,ā he said. The cartels are so sophisticated that theyāre constantly switching the entry points they chose for migrant families, children and single adults to illegally come into the country.ā https://www.borderreport.com/immigration/border-patrol-mexican-cartels-charging-every-person-that-comes-across/
There is no reason for us to wake up everyday to photos of the next line of people wading thru the rio grande entering this country illegallyā¦none.

Thereās nothing in strict asylum law that specifies gang violence for one. Second, it specifies that it has to be based on race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Now I suppose youāre going to argue that they are all LGBTQ, right?

So Guatemalans beat up their perverts. Why is it our job to stop that from happening? Normal people in America are being victimized every day by American gangs. Donāt hear any of you Libs whining about thatā¦

I suppose they want us to become Central and South America as we will absorb half their population over the next few years.

Based on recent use of federal force, perhaps Venezuela would be a possibility?

They are here illegally and should be removed. The drug, weapons and sex slave human trafficking smuggling alone should have a sovereign country like America mobilizing multiple federal agencies including the US Military to regain control of the borders.
But thanks Joe

Why allow millions of people into the country when you know that the majority of their asylum claims donāt fit the legal requirements?

Because itās the law. And these cases arenāt adjudicated on the spot at the border. It is during the later hearing where it is determined whether or not the requirements are met.
If you had to guess, what percentage of asylum requests are denied?
How many asylum requests per year do you think are made?

Remain in Mexico was a reasonable resolution. It doesnāt allow people to come in and disappear.
That was a better law.

First off, as Iāve stated numerous times in these particular debates, itās not like we donāt know what the conditions are in these countries. Look at the Biden Administrationās 5 point plan to deal with the root causes of migration and none of it deals with the LEGAL conditions for asylum. Your a smart person, answer this, honestly, how many of the of people showing up at the US border from all over the world, who are paying money to the cartels, are actually being persecuted (according to any legal definition), and more specifically on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion?
Regarding what percentage of asylum cases are denied itās typically in the 80% range:
Asylum Grant Rates Climb Under Biden.
Now letās be clear on something regarding asylum. Itās not a scientifically verifiable process and involves human subjectivity, biases, emotion, and political ideology. Earlier in this thread I pointed out that being granted asylum can largely depend on which asylum judge one gets.
