No she spoke the truth and we all know it. Tell me how many people from Central America are being persecuted based on race or religion (which fits the LEGAL definition for asylum)? Asylum is meant to be very narrowly defined if it were not then what you are looking at is the US being required to hear about 2-3 billion asylum claims worldwide.
I’ll ask this again, tell me why do these people all bypass other nations or not go to other nations closer geographically if they are in such dire straights? Is America is the only country to seek asylum in?
Whenever you look and listen to people talk about the main reason people are flooding across the border there are statements like this:
“Those root causes have only worsened in the past few years, thanks largely to nefarious nonstate actors and corrupt and exclusionary states. Economic problems, ongoing violence, worsening corruption, and challenges to democracy have been aggravated by the devastating impact of the coronavirus. In December, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected that Central America’s economies will have shrunk 6% in 2020, with a short-lived drop in remittances last spring and ongoing declines in tourism. Although all three governments of the Northern Triangle — Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador — borrowed heavily to extend massive support packages, especially to the poorest sectors, it may take years to recover from virus’ economic consequences. One key problem is that none of the three governments represent an optimal partner for advancing U.S. interests.”
I’ve yet to hear from anyone that that are being persecuted because of their race or religion, which fits the LEGAL definition for asylum.
It’s like those on the left here have no concept of this reality. Regarding South America, actually all the countries there can accept refugees except for Guyana as well and SA is geographically closer to the Northern Triangle countries than the US.
NOBODY is pointing out that there’s a number of South American countries that are geographically closer for one and that all of these people just bypass Mexico. It’s like everyone views America as the only place for asylum claims.
