And those rights are expressed through a fair hearing in an immigration court. LYING to the court does not provide for a fair hearing. Obviously, in this case, once the LIE from ICE was uncovered, the immigration judge ruled that this individual could enter.
And this anecdote AS IT IS PRESENTED HERE is merely the spin of our illustrious media.
He’s sitting in Mexico. (Or was.) They don’t kill gays there. He’s safe from his Cameroon enemies. He doesn’t need asylum here. Mexico let him in. Let Mexico handle him.
It doesn’t matter if ICE allegedly lied. He doesn’t need asylum here. He should be handled under our immigration laws, not our asylum laws.
If you intend to address only half of a one-line reply, then actually quote the half you are addressing so you make clear the half you are disingenuously ignoring.
But either way, yes, your intention was clear, and so I called out your disingenuousness.
It’s not disingenuous to anyone with half a brain and a modicum of attention. Sorry, I’m not going to put up with your pointless critique. Don’t like the way I post, don’t reply.
The second half of his question was answered with a question. Again, pay attention to the obvious context of my posts or don’t reply to me.
If a mistake was made in applying the current law, then that needs to be corrected. I agree with that.
There is also the question of whether the current laws make sense or should be changed. If a person goes through multiple countries that are not a threat to him then he is in no immediate threat and should not be allowed entry based on asylum. If that is not our current law, then our current law should be changed.
In this instance, changing that law would be the cure required.
Just to clarify, there is no requirement for an asylum seeker to the US to apply to asylum in the first country they arrive at on the way to the US with the exception of Canada.
