I completely agree with the gist of this.  All of the Democratic candidates pretty much agree that a tightening of asylum law is [b]not[/b] needed.  They're willing to put illegal immigrants (all of them) on a path to U.S. citizenship.  And this is exactly why I won't be voting for a Democrat in 2020.

"What emerged was their core message to the world: Get here without papers and you’ll receive humane treatment while you’re processed, you’ll never be detained, you’ll get work permits immediately, and you’ll have access to publicly funded health care and a path to citizenship if you don’t commit a crime. This amounts to an open invitation to anyone on the planet to just show up and cross the border. The worst that can happen is you get denied asylum by a judge, in which case you can just disappear and there’s a 1 percent chance that you’ll be caught in a given year. Who wouldn’t take those odds?"[/quote]
