For years people have been sneaking into the United States... most are not inherently dangerous however they fly under the radar and there is a lot of problems when you have millions of people in your country without documentation.
Recently the left wingers have started encouraging 10’s possibly 100’s of thousand of people from other countries to come here and “seek asylum” because of trivial reasons like they are poor (yet liberals constantly talk about how poor America is sans the top 10% of earners), they live in a dangerous area (there are shooting weekly within a mile of my place of employment), or they are escaping domestic violence (yeah we have no issues with that here)... advocates want these folks to be given citizenship and all its benefits just for coming here. This is a huge expense to taxpayers. Most of these folks have no skills and can’t speak English so we will be paying for their food, housing, healthcare and education for the foreseeable future.
To me asylum should only be given to those who are singled out for something and their life is in danger. For example if someone testified against a drug dealer or human traffickers and they aren’t being properly protected by local law enforcement, a family with an albino child from a country where they could be killed because of an old superstition, or the Yadizi in Iraq who are tortured, raped and murdered for sport.
