This might prove to be helpful in understanding the US's obligations under asylum law.

Asylum in the United States​

As a signatory to the 1967 Protocol, and through U.S. immigration law, the United States has legal obligations to provide protection to those who qualify as refugees. The Refugee Act established two paths to obtain refugee status—either from abroad as a resettled refugee or in the United States as an asylum seeker.

Asylum in the United States

Asylum seekers must navigate a difficult and complex process that can involve multiple government agencies. This fact sheet provides an overview of the asylum system in the United States, including how asylum is defined, eligibility requirements, and the application process.

There's a lot of info available at the link with respect to the actual asylum process. Not the process heard about from those with an interest in disinformation. After all, immigration will be a go-to issue for Repubs in the coming election cycle. And we can expect them to spew lots and lots of lies about it.

My personal feeling is the standards for qualification need to be made more strict. Something I believe is being negotiated in Congress as part of a compromise reform package.

they have been spewing this same bs since long before trump tested the weight rating on the escalator.

if biden were not in compliance with the law he would have been impeached already.

It goes without saying that the left has for, for the past 40 years, engaged in direct misinformation regarding immigration. The asylum laws and how they are interpreted and enforced are the actual problem.

Our asylum laws need to be scrapped and rewritten to require that any asylum granted be approved BEFORE presenting yourself to our border or a customs agent at some transportation hub. In addition, all asylum requests at our borders are to be summarily denied and dismissed, the claimant turned away.

 

[Lesh]

The “problem” is the courts.

The courts say that asylum seekers deserve their day in court to prove their claim and there aren’t enough judges or courts to do so in a timely manner.

America doesn't have any such "legal" obligation, this is a sovereign nation that determines its own laws and is permitted to come here and who can stay.

Pretending as if Sleepy Joe doesn't have a choice and is just a victim, is a load of Shinola.

You really need to study Jesse Helms' address to the UN in January 2000. No international body has ANY power over the USA.

The great man dressed down the foreign despots made that crystal clear, the Republicans should have nominated Helms in 2000 instead of Dubya.

The problem is how do we decide whether someone is a political refugee, or an economic refugee ... at the border ... the Cuban shooting commies in Cuba is going to need a safe haven ... whereas some broke Argentine is just looking for fast cash ...

Right now, we just let them in and sort things out after ... "due process of law" ... Republicans control the House, only they can initiate the funding for quicker turn-around ... a shame they're on vacation right now ...

Do we make Texas taxpayers feed these people, or do we let Texas bus these folks up to New York or Illinois? ... the immigrants are here legally ... and has nothing to do with the illegal immigrant problem ...

Apparently ... Republicans have no solutions ... they only cut taxes for the Rich and let the country go bankrupt ... keep "printing" money folks, what could go wrong? ... pork-barrel CR after pork-barrel CR ... Republicans stooging for DemoNazis ...

You are exactly correct. It IS American law, and the Sleepy Joe administration has a right to change it without answering to anyone, for any reason or no reason at all.

Pretending as if his hands are tied is a load of shit. Biden's political adversaries in America aren't stopping him from doing the right thing and resolving the crisis is a load of Shinola.

No. Biden can't change it whenever he feels like. He's not a dictator you dipshit. Congress makes the laws, the President enforces them.

Even if that is true, it isn't the Republicans who are stopping Sleepy Joe from resolving this.

But it isn't true, Biden can issue an executive order at any time.

how many countries do those 'refugees' pass thru before requesting asylum here?

why don't they stop in one of them?

. Under our system, when international treaties are ratified they simply become domestic U.S. law. As such, they carry no greater or lesser weight than any other domestic U.S. law. Treaty obligations can be superceded by a simple act of Congress. This was the intentional design of our founding fathers, who cautioned against entering into “entangling alliances.”

Thus, when the United States joins a treaty organization, it holds no legal authority over us. We abide by our treaty obligations because they are the domestic law of our land, and because our elected leaders have judged that the agreement serves our national interest.

The purpose of the link offered is to provide advice to Illegals in the US or planning to come and what the Biden Regime's policies are.

Not to provide real legal analysis of those policies.

Then get in the god-damn line.
