Wow. How do the MAGAs continue to defend this incompetence?

Asylum program getting gamed as a way to move to the U.S.

We the taxpayers foot the bill for asylum seekers. You think the average American wants to pay for the rent, housing, medical expenses, etc. for illegal migrants gaming the system -- when Americans are getting told by medical insurance companies that their medical care is not covered?

This is one big reason why the Democrats lost the election. How do you not get it by now?

This is literally the first time I have heard anyone talk about asylum seekers as "one big reason why the Democrats lost the election." I am talking about LEGAL ASYLUM SEEKERS. Donald Trump and MAGA are always talking about ILLEGAL immigration.

By the way, there were plenty of people granted asylum under Trump 1.0. Roughly the same average per year as Biden.

Biden let in many more on parole, with the idea that they would eventually apply for asylum.

Restating that I am not talking about illegal immigrants, convicted gang members, people on parole, people who might "eventually apply for asylum."

I am talking about people without a criminal record, who used the Customs and Border Patrol system legally to apply for asylum and were assigned an asylum hearing. Again legal asylum seekers.

How did the program work pre-Biden - did people apply for asylum at the border (en masse) the way they are now? The ones gaming the system from Biden's directives are ruining it for folks who genuinely have an asylum case. The same goes for the lawyers making a living helping illegal migrants game the system.

I am going to earnestly answer your question and then can you please answer mine?

Pre-Biden it was the same process

Step 1: Person arrives at a U.S. port of entry verbally declares to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers that they fear returning to their home country and intend to seek asylum.
Step 2: CBP officers conduct a preliminary interview to assess the reasons for fear.
Step 3: If the initial screening finds concerns, the person is referred to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a Credible Fear Interview with an asylum officer.
Step 4: If credible fear is found, the individual would usually be allowed to enter the U.S., have removal proceedings before an immigration judge and apply for asylum. They'd be assigned a court date to determine asylum.

The CBP One app started to be used a couple years ago to actually schedule the appointments and make it more orderly.

Now, my question: how can anyone be okay with people who followed each of those steps using the proper legal channels, have no criminal record, have a provable record of continuous employment , and were determined to have credible fear be sent to CECOT because of crown tattoos? Can you please talk about these people?

This is pretty insane.

This is heart-breaking. I can't believe the US we have fallen so low. How can any Trump supporter read this and not feel deeply ashamed?

It is not heartbreaking.

Have you even read a single account of what these gang members do to their victims? Hands chopped off with machetes. Sex-trafficking and forced prostitution of girls as young as 12. Fentanyl dealing in our schools.

You prefer to keep these people here in the USA to victimize your daughter or son??

We have zero evidence they've found a single gang member, much less a machete. We have credible evidence that rent-a-cops are writing up false reports and disappearing people to gulags to meet quota. I'll worry about the thing actually happening.
