Which is why the counter-example of US citizens seeking asylum elsewhere (it was given either in this thread or another where libs try to justify “asylum”) was a minuscule number.
Re lies about the border, it turns out that half the ICE “arrests” in 2024 were actually ICE tagging illegal crossers and then releasing them into the interior of the US. ICE will make more real apprehensions in the first two months of Trumps term than in all of 2024.
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests since President Donald Trump took office are already outpacing arrests made in all of 2024, the agency said Wednesday — while saying the Biden administration had been “cooking the books” on its numbers.“
. “They were purposely misleading the American people by categorizing individuals processed and released into the interior of the United States as ICE arrests.”

And lefties are all hot and bothered about. Tesla at the White House.
We’ve had that Venezuelan gang up in Denver, but so far have not had them in Colorado Springs. (About an hour away.) The Biden Admin put them there.
Until now.
From the article:
"ICE Denver said Cartaya-Rojas, who is from Venezuela, illegally entered the U.S. on Nov. 20, 2023.
According to ICE Denver, Cartaya-Rojas is a TDA gang member who absconded from ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, which allows undocumented immigrants to stay in the community under supervision as they move through immigration proceedings or prepare to leave the U.S."
Even when considering the most generous aspect of international asylum law there’s virtually no reason for any country to offer an American citizen asylum.
The question is, why did all the Democrats lie about that there was nothing that the president could do about the border? Isn’t that an important topic of discussion?
Well off the top of my head I can think of two countries, Canada and Mexico! Both our North American neighbors from hell encouraged and facilitated illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking during Bidens disastrous open border policy.
