He can file for asylum but until the immigration court decides the case, he is still undocumented and can be detained, if the immigration court denies him asylum he can then be immediately deported.

False. Dismissed.

False. Dismissed.

Obviously, it is true because that is exactly what is happening.

Best I can determine is you have no idea what the word means.

Not if you enter the country illegally.

Not if you enter the country illegally.

And yet the law says otherwise.....not that you can be bothered to read it.

 

[Mack Brazile]

The argument for years was those who wanted to come here need to do it right. This guy was trying to.

If he's illegal **** em

 

[pknopp]

If he's illegal **** em

He wasn't.

I agree. It does seem to be the most you are able to understand. Anyone in the world who can reach a US consulate can file for asylum in the US, but the act of filing does not confer any special status on the applicant. So he remains undocumented unless the immigration court decides to accept his case and then decides to grant him asylum.

There's no law that allows a foreign national to ignore existing laws.

It depends on when you apply for asylum. If you are already in the process of deportation, you cannot apply for asylum while you are here illegally, but if you apply before you are in the process of deportation, you can apply for asylum and remain in the US until the court makes a decision on your case.

Undocumented migrants often file for asylum after they have been arrested by ICE, and under the Biden administration, they were often given a court date and released and never showed up at their hearing, but under President Trump they are detained by ICE and deported unless the immigration court grants asylum.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He did things the right way. The right way isn't your wishes.

Obviously not. He was here illegally. The tragedy is, he should have left. Had he left he could have come back legally. Now, he's barred for life.

And there is no indication he was ever in deportation proceedings.

This man was showing up.

 

[Anathema]

Trump’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate

Three very fine values, if you ask me.

dismissed.

No, applying for asylum does not confer any legal status on the applicant, but under the Biden administration it was almost as good as getting a green card. The Biden administration would give undocumented migrants who applied for asylum a court date and released them and the vast majority of them never showed up for their hearing, but whether to release them or detan them is at the discretion of the government and under the Trump administration they are detained until the court issues its decision.

He entered the country illegally.

His Name Is Jesus. He’s a Carpenter. ICE Arrested Him.

Seriously.

It seemed his hard work was paying off when he was accepted into the carpenters apprenticeship program at the KML Carpenters Training Center in the winter of 2024. The promise of working construction wasn’t as alluring as being an engineer, but it was a step up the ladder. His family was elated.

Then, this year, Jesus’s life was thrown into chaos. On July 8, he went for a customary check-in at the ICE Pittsburgh field office. But he was detained and sent to the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Phillipsburg, three hours away from where the family lives.

Jesus’s detention resembles thousands of other stories that are quickly defining American society in the age of Trump deportations. It has shaken his church community and inspired local leaders, union representatives, and Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh retired Bishop David Zubik to write more than twenty letters on his behalf.

This is Stephen Miller's dream come true. The game plan is not instill fear in the immigrant community and to remove as many "non-whites" from our society as possible. Honestly, the tactics mirror NAZI Germany in the 1930's, and we know how that turned out. The US is becoming the Hungary of the West. We will soon be a democracy in name only with rigged election, state controlled media, and an executive controlled judiciary.

Glad this illegal isn't going to take an American's job.
