The only thing you have to do then is convince all participant nations to agree to change the relevant provisions in the Geneva Convention, and/or convince the US to change their law and step out of the Geneva Convention.

And what relevant provision in the Geneva Convention addresses someone fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in the United States?

And where in there does it say that the United States must grant asylum to someone seeking it?

Again, someone from South America shouldn't be granted asylum here. There were plenty of places along the way which are a long was from South America.

Furthermore, a person can't use the political climate in an interim country as a reason for requesting asylum, simply because that person A) has not been persecuted in that country and B) voluntarily entered that country.

Asylum approvals should be rare, at best...

Nobody is saying they must accept it. The Convention simply states that people have the right to request asylum.

As for the rest. It feels like you are simply being obtuse. Everyone has the right to request asylum. Imposing conditions before making that request goes against both international and federal law.

My solution is both attainable and works within that framework. Yours does not.
