And its CITE that law.
I had it somewhat right according to that page. there are exceptions. Such as its stop at the first SAFE COUNTRY. And mexico is anything but safe apparently is it?
So all we need to do is remove ourself from the refugee agreement. IF we signe dit.
There is nothing in international law to say that refugees must claim asylum in the first country they reach. A European regulation allows a country such as the UK to return an adult asylum seeker to the first European country they reached.

Cherry picking is un becoming of you. Didnt the US sign onto the refugee act a long time ago? if so then the international rules apply correct? SCrew them claiming asylum. send them back and let their home nation kil them instead.

OK. since you are saying the refugee/asylum laws only apply to europe then the POTUScan legally turn them away.

You are good with 1250-1500 illegal immigrants crossing the border?
i believe in asylum, yes.
Please describe what you mean by "asylum", and explain who should or should not be granted it?
a home in our country; people in danger
also, 1500 people is next to nothing. there's more than 40x that number of bosnian refugees in st. louis alone.
So in other words, if your country is a snip hole, come on up to USA we'll let you in, file you into ghettos, so it can be a snip hole here too.

Or in other words..."Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
