WHAT MIGHT CHANGE WITH ASYLUM?

Asylum is a type of protection that allows a migrant to stay in the U..S. and have a path to American citizenship. To qualify for asylum, someone has to demonstrate fear of persecution back home due to a fairly specific set of criteria: race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinions. Asylum-seekers must be on U.S. soil when they ask for this protection.

They generally go through an initial screening called a credible fear interview. If they are determined to have a chance of getting asylum, they are allowed to stay in the U.S. to pursue their case in immigration court. That process can take years. In the meantime, asylum-seekers can start to work, get married, have children and create a life.

Some of what lawmakers are discussing would raise the bar that migrants need to meet during that initial credible fear interview. Those who do not meet it would be sent home.

We need to find a way to reduce the number of people trying to immigrate to the US across the southern border. As heartbreaking as it is to do so the standard for asylum must be raised in order to achieve the former. It's a part of what I hope will be a bipartisan compromise to address what has been a major problem in need of reform for a very long time. Reform that could have happened in 2013 had House Repubs not blocked a bill the Senate had passed 68 to 32 with 14 Repubs voting in the affirmative.

Sure, change the definition or "raise the bar" and the Biden Admin will all of a sudden enforce existing laws.....what a bunch of BS.

We are allowing asylum from people all over the world, and that isnt how its supposed to work.
Thats why the term "open borders" is credible, although not technically correct. We are open to people from all over the world. Not just mexico, cuba and canada.

The United States faces a genuine immigration crisis, procedural, political, and humanitarian.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s efforts to hold $106 billion in vital aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan hostage for a bipartisan deal on immigration restrictions has created a sense of urgency. But any such deal is politically unlikely. Worse, the deals under discussion would not solve the deeper problem.

The current system, carrying out U.S. treaty obligations that the U.S. and other nations agreed to after the shame of the Holocaust, requires the U.S. to provisionally admit refugees with a well-founded fear of persecution in their home countries, while their claims are adjudicated. Even Donald Trump was not able to overturn this basic requirement.

The practical problem is that in recent years, the system has been overwhelmed by refugees fleeing violence in Central America. Neither the Border Patrol nor immigration judges can keep up with the massive flow.

Borderline Inanity

There is no limit to the repopulation plans the dems have in mind for the USA. In this 2019 interview with NPR, Kamala said she is open to 60 million + asylum seekers coming into the country.

It is near the end of the 7 minute NPR audio...

Are they? Do you have a link?
Because i know they are busing them around.

We need to stop them from coming in the first place and your suggestion won't do it. They come here illegally. The entire system is dysfunctional and corrupt. If I remember correctly, there are about 8 billion people on the planet and probably at least 4 billion, if not more, would find improved lives in the US. But, the biggest problem is we don't even know who in the hell these people are and we cannot possibly be able to investigate them (even if we had the resources) to find out if they are really oppressed in some fashion (or whatever). It all boils down to if we take their word and democrats are suckers for taking everyone's words. And, not one of these people should be a financial strain on our resources. We already owe 33 trillion dollars. Laws need to be changed in a sizable manner and the left refuse to change any laws. Hell they refuse to even enforce the laws we already have. We should only allow a certain number of LEGALS in corresponding to our economic needs, and zero ILLEGALS. Once the quota has been met then zero, zip, nodda and that includes legals. Getting rid of sanctuary areas would have to be part of the deal. Not counting them in census figures would have to be part of the deal. No allowing them to vote, even in local elections would have to be part of the deal.

It’s not asylum because it’s Africa?

That makes sense to you?

They've been programmed to react reflexively and viscerally to any issue related to immigration in knee jerk fashion.

Youre scared for your life so you cross the ocean in a fucking dingy to make it to mexico or honduras?
Asylum is about going to the next country. Not travel all around the world.
Trump had the third country transit bar rule. One of the few good things he did in office.
That rule is no longer in place, and we see the effects of that.
You disturbing freaks voted for this BS.
