"That's 123,000 per month in the EU, over one million annually. Plus, the bulk of those cases are in a handful of the larger EU countries."

123,000 applications, not acceptances. Many of these countries have capped the numbere of migrants they will accept unlike the US which feels obligated to allow in anyone who physically shows up.

"And are you suggesting the U.S. gets 3-5 million asylum claims per year? In 2023 there were 478,885 asylum applications."

I am suggesting that we don't know how many actual people we have in the country as a result of this foolish policy. The estimate of Gotaways alone is in the 1-2 million range, and that is just the ones we know about. The number of unvetted people that have been released into the country is also an unknown quantity such that the 400K figure of yours doesn't line up with the reported daily estimate of incoming people.
