Biden to slowly allow 25,000 people seeking asylum into US

[Crtcl Rice Theory 2,432]

Do we need to define asylum?

 

What Is Asylum?

Asylum is a protection granted to foreign nationals already in the United States or arriving at the border who meet the international law definition of a “refugee.” The United Nations 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol define a refugee as a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country, and cannot obtain protection in that country, due to past persecution or a well-founded fear of being persecuted in the future “on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Congress incorporated this definition into U.S. immigration law in the Refugee Act of 1980.

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.

The other guy on the ballot didn't target little girls...

 

It was funny watching Joe on CNN's townhall yesterday, he said that's he's never been in the Presidential residence in the 8 years he was VP,  gee, I wonder why that is, hmmm,  Do you think it had anything to do with Obama having his 2 attractive daughters living in the residence? and "Joe being Joe"?

Ok and? Many people that come here legally are not in favor of the most recent asylees because many of them are using baseless claims to try and get asylum

The vast majority of us on here are very much for asylum but are against the watering down of true asylum claims. You have people claiming asylum due to domestic violence and gangs. Sorry but those are not actual reasons for asylum at all

Asylum is not caravans arriving at the border to get in.

I seem to remember people getting in boats to leave Vietnam , Syria, Cuba. Refugees leaving (or trying to) leave their homes in Europe. Most of those groups moved in waves, clusters and "caravans"

Refugees fleeing war torn countries. Not quite what is going on at our southern border, is it? 

[spookyturtle 9,465]

And I wasn’t aware that refugees from Vietnam, Cuba, Syria had homes in Europe.
