[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they need asylum from Ecuador?[/quote]

Walking through eight countries to make a fake asylum claim here is not "legal entry" in any conventional or real sense of this term. If some apparat's stroke of a pen once made this the rule, another's eraser can immediately restore sanity.

If you’re fleeing real danger, why not claim asylum in any of these earlier countries:

•  Colombia (first big one after Ecuador, then the dangerous Darién Gap jungle crossing into Panama)
•  Panama
•  Costa Rica
•  Nicaragua
•  Honduras
•  El Salvador (sometimes skipped depending on the path)
•  Guatemala
•  Mexico (the last one before the US border—biggest stretch, buses/trains, lots of risks but stable overall)

Those countries are legally “safe” for asylum claims.  If you’re running from real persecution, you stop and ask for protection there.

Your list does not make the brilliant point you think you are making. Thinking you will be safer in the US than in other Latin American in no way invalidates an asylum claim.[/quote]

DP. Safer? Safer from what?
The foundation of an asylum claim is not based on overall “safety”. Claims are based on grounds of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Most people with claims not going to be able to establish that they would be even at moderate risk in most of the countries PP listed. And that’s IF the claim is real.

His family came in legally under Biden. You can question it all you want, but they are here legally, whether you approve or not.
