Nice pot shot though.

No pot shot intended. I try to avoid that as it impedes conversation. I interpreted your "cartels advertising" to imply that a significant segment of asylum-seekers fell into that category. And that simply isn't true. I'm sure some do. I'd be surprised if it's more than a few percent, but am open to data if any is available.

I think 30% of the world might qualify for asylum and we cannot take them all, but I'm sympathetic.

Again, I'd be surprised if it's that high. As I understand it, asylum criteria -in a nutshell- is that you have to fear for your life in your native country. Warlords, your own government, or something of that sort. Just being poor and desperate isn't good enough for asylum. I doubt even 1B would qualify, much less 2.4B (which is 30% of 8B). Though I stand to be corrected if there is relevant data to be had, or if I don't have the basic criteria correct.
