Right. And what do 100% of all asylum claimants have in common? They're all lawfully permitted to remain in the U.S. Because they're not illegal immigrants - they're lawful asylees.


...many of whom fall outside the spirit of the asylum laws, which would be why the system is being gamed.

You keep bringing up the MV St. Louis. Do you really believe that a similar situation is playing out in central America right now?

They can be held in detention - if you want to pay for that.

So it's free to charter flights for them, give them free education and health care, and all that?

But it won't do you any good unless you can tell a convincing story, with details that make sense, about who specifically gave you those injuries and for what reason, to a person who's heard literally thousands of people telling variants on that story in order to weed out a third of them to never even make it to an immigration judge. You absolutely wouldn't be the first person to deliberately inflict an injury - or repurpose an old injury - in order to try to clear a CFI. I doubt that you (Dope1) would ever be able to pull it off.

To a CBP official who has a thousand of these waiting for him and who could rightly conclude "It's not worth my time to argue; I'll just sign this person through".

I show up, I show some half-healed whip marks on my back and I tell a tall tale of drug thugs beating me up as an example to the rest of my village.
I'm sure that never happens.
