No Allan. That is not what asylum is for. We are not the world’s battered women’s shelter. And that’s not why they’re coming here. And they’re bringing those things to a place that already has them.
Lets see gangs, crime, husbands beating on them, you know credible fear.

Nope. That doesn’t do it.
“Asylum has two basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country. Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality,political opinion or particular social group.”
Good God. That’s what happens when grown assed adults encourage people to send their kids on a journey that could end in their rape or death. This is one of the worst human disasters that the democratic party has ever been associated with.
I’m pretty sure that CNN took a pass on this story.
As a matter of fact, Allan, I have. I spent considerable time in all three of those countries and others just like them. Even lived in some of the villages they come from, fought for them, served with their sons, treated their kids. Spoke their language, ate their food, studied their culture, went to their churches, funerals and births.
