There is no law saying we can't turn them away.

Yes there is. You can't deport a person who claims asylum, until their case has been adjudicate in a US Immigration Court by a US Immigration Judge.

Why are people seeking asylum here in the states?

Fact or your opinion will suffice.

Apologies.

It's all good.


Personally I think we are merely arguing over the ashes.

That damage is already done and any effort to walk it back will only prolong the inevitable in this regard.

Yeah.

The house is on fire and here we are, debating what type of fire alarm to buy.

I don't know. But my husband's mom and dad and he and his 2 brothers came here after the cartel blew up the newpaper building and the bookstore that they owned. They gave up everything, their land and their businesses to come here and be poor but safe.

a reply to: Sookiechacha

So all these asylum seekers had their business blown up by cartels?


Is that what were to take away from your comment?

True, anyone can claim asylum, but they have to stay in their own country until asylum is granted.

No sir.

(a)Authority to apply for asylum
(1)In general
Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

They have 1 year before they have to announce themselves, turn themselves in, apply to asylum.

(B)Time limit
Subject to subparagraph (D), paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien unless the alien demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the application has been filed within 1 year after the date of the alien’s arrival in the United States.

www.law.cornell.edu...

(A)Screening
(i)In general
If an immigration officer determines that an alien (other than an alien described in subparagraph (F)) who is arriving in the United States or is described in clause (iii) is inadmissible under section 1182(a)(6)(C) or 1182(a)(7) of this title, the officer shall order the alien removed from the United States without further hearing or review unless the alien indicates either an intention to apply for asylum under section 1158 of this title or a fear of persecution.

Like I said. I don't know. I can only speak for my husband and his family, and why they came here.

a reply to: Sookiechacha

You forgot one:

(A)Safe third country
Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien if the Attorney General determines that the alien may be removed, pursuant to a bilateral or multilateral agreement, to a country (other than the country of the alien’s nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, the country of the alien’s last habitual residence) in which the alien’s life or freedom would not be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and where the alien would have access to a full and fair procedure for determining a claim to asylum or equivalent temporary protection, unless the Attorney General finds that it is in the public interest for the alien to receive asylum in the United States.

Maybe just a brain fart, maybe something more....

Not our problem, it's theirs.

a reply to: Sookiechacha

Would it surprise you to know that the closest nation to our southern border where asylum seekers are coming from is Venzuela?

Mayorkas should be in prison, not just impeached.

Why is there so much migration of asylum seekers WORLD-WIDE coming from the south to north.

This is not just happening at the USA southern border.

No. I don’t think that’s it.

El Salvador seems to be taking a hard stance against gangs and the cartels.

I had a friend from El Salvador.

They kept all essentials at floor level — so when the shooting started they could survive by lying flat on the floor.

Maybe it’s improved. I don’t know.
