Why is that so many fail to meet the requirements for asylum?  If you want to let more millions in, do you really still expect to provide government programs to cover all of their needs? How exactly will that work? [/quote]

Asylum is rightly a very narrow definition and should remain that way [/quote]

But international law requires that we let everyone make their case, so they are coming. [/b] What we really need is more detention facilities and a rapid adjudication system.  That will be more effective and more humane deterrent than a wall.[/quote]

No, it doesn't. T[b]here has to be a documented knowledge of a military conflict or political/sex minority/religion minority oppression BEFORE asylum seekers are let in.[/b] That's how foreign countries' citizens get asylum quotas. 
Otherwise the whole world will be here claiming asylum and living in the US until their case is processed. [/quote]

Not true. All they need to do is show up at the border and say the magic words (coached by their coyote) in the initial interview. After that we have to let them in until their case is processed but of course they vanish before that happens.

This is why we need judges at the border conducting this initial interview or at least upping the standards for how easy it is to get through it. something like 90% ultimately fail to get asylum so all of the time spent on law enforcement, court, etc. is wasted tax payer dollars when we couldve cut this off at the pass[/quote]
