The U.S. is obligated to provide an asylum hearing to anyone and everyone that shows up, right?

Everyone and their brother is applying for asylum. Should this really be the law? And which nation(s) south of the border are so horrific as to constitute giving asylum to all of their citizens? And finally, how did the average American become indebted to pay for the existence of a foreigner?

Hey, we're already paying for a bunch of lazy leeches that were born here, why not more?

It's a wrong and an extremely slippery slope once a government takes from one group to give to another.

We don't have any obligation to feed, house, medical care to anyone who knocks on the door. If they get in it should be their problem not the tax payer.

maybe TRUMP will put an end to the USA being ruled over by 'international' laws , treaties and agreements . After all they are only signatures on scraps of paper by past mostly nasty American administrations going back in time and what can they do today if TRUMP were to renege on them ??
