What those on the Left don’t want to hear is that these international laws on asylum DO NOT trump a nations sovereignty, for example:
The notion that people like Al have, that a sovereign nation has no choice but to take in ANYONE who shows up at their border just because they claim to be asylum seekers is utter ■■■■■■■■■
i. A state’s right to offer asylum is well known in international law. It follows from the principle that each sovereign state is considered to have exclusive control over its territory and, consequently, over persons present in its territory. One of the implications of this widely accepted rule is that each sovereign state has the right to grant or deny asylum to individuals within its borders. In international law, therefore, the right of asylum has traditionally been seen as the right of a state, rather than the right of an individual.
We ARE NOT obligated to let any of these people into our country!
