Law The Border Crisis is Not Due to Illegal Immigration - It's Due to the LEGAL Asylum System

[Hog-train]

I keep hearing all these migrants contributing to the border crisis now are here illegally. That they broke the law when they came in. That's not the case.

They are mostly here legally under our broken asylum system. Right now, all a person has to do is go to designated locations where they come and claim asylum.

Then they get released into the country with a date to come for a hearing at immigration court. It's called catch and release. The problem is the backlog of cases is so long, it will take years for a single new case to be heard and adjudicated. And some just end up never coming in for their hearing and just stay in the country. No one really goes after them.

So all these migrants are LEGAL due to a BROKEN ASYLUM SYSTEM.

My understanding is that the process is that they are SUPPOSED to go through official asylum ports of entry, but most of the migrants claiming "asylum" just cross wherever they can, so they're not actually part of the asylum process. Is that incorrect?

Also, I feel I've also heard that migrants truly seeking asylum can stop in Mexico and get asylum there. But they don't. They don't want asylum; they want to live in the USA.

No. You can either go to abort of access, or already be here.

It was never considered broken until the "replacement theory" bullsh*t ramped up. Also Trump's administration expedited the process to where they could deny you without a hearing. I lost one of my students that way who never got his hearing.

Also the asylum process wouldn't be appealing if standard immigration didnt take like a f*ckin decade or two. But hey let's keep voting in people who cripple these systems and then get every xenophobe raging angry about the results.

It is broken. I live in NY and all the new migrants bussed in are a serious problem. The city can't afford to house and feed them anymore.

Send them packing no matter what

Neither party acts in good faith on immigration.

Immigration should be a relatively straightforward process with a reasonable barrier to entry. But it should also be highly enforced.

Asylum should be a straight forward fast pass/reject type of system also.

Actually it's due to the need for cheap labor. Repubs can virtue signal on this topic all they want come election time, they won't do anything about it and they either own or are paid by the corporations that hire illegals.

Instead of building a fake wall, how about enforcing employment regulations?

All these pro illegals immigration and asylum seekers just don;t live in areas affected by it. I am in NY too. I travel to cities for work. Philly, Boston, Stamford, Chicago, plus a ton of small cities. These cities already had issues, and now they are over run. Crime is up and you will get these morons quoting stats, ignoring the fact that with Migrants in NY it is catch and release unless it is a felony committed with a firearm. The system is too overloaded, and the liberal DA won't prosecute. My friends are all NYPD and are getting paid overtime every weekend to catch and release. No records, no true arrests. I can't even get a hotel when I trave without calling first to see if there are permanent residents.

I live in the capital region of NY and we’re majorly affected by it too. NYC fucked this entire state, but they couldn’t have done it without the Biden admin.
