I agree...and whether you believe me or not, I know someone in the border patrol. When we started seeing more crimes from illegals like rape, murders, and organized gangs....I asked him why we have a hard time spotting these people when they enter. 2 answers made sense, the third was shocking.
1. They don't have access to their criminal records in foreign countries. Many of the nations they come from don't even have electronic databases. Those that do don't give us access most of the time.
2. Time constraints. Crossing illegally is a federal misdemeanor. They can only hold people for X amount of days without charging them. When the border was swamped in places with hundreds of crossings a day....apparently, people were held for weeks before they had records checks done or their cases vetted. They find out that a guy was convicted of rape in Florida a decade ago....well if they were going to reject his asylum plea for that and send him back for crossing illegally...the time limit for charging him ended a week ago and he would be released to Florida with a court date he was asked to show up to 3 years from now. It's an entirely broken system not meant to handle that amount of traffic.
3. Finally, and you won't believe this, apparently the Border Patrol was under orders to accept whatever the illegal said as true. Seriously. The Biden administration used executive orders to roll back all safeguards. If someone came in with no ID, and fingerprints confirmed they were a Mexican gang member with murder warrants in Texas...if they said that they had a twin brother and they weren't the subject with the same fingerprints and picture....they were to be treated as if that was true lol. Little kids who were clearly being trafficked and couldn't explain anything about where they were from or the uncle's brother-in-law's stepfather's cousin that they were going to live with in New York were simply handed over to these scumbags as if the whole story was true. I asked how many asylum seekers he thought were lying...he said 99 out of 100. I said he must be exaggerating. He gave me an example...he said he did hundreds of cases for Brazilians because he spoke a little Portuguese. He doesn't know how many....but he guesses 800-1000 cases. He said they all had the same lie for why they wanted asylum. He could recall maybe 3 that were different. They all claimed that they had a small business of some sort...that covid ruined their business...that they took a loan from a loan shark, and were fleeing Brazil because they couldn't pay it back.
For starters, this isn't a reason for asylum....ever. They should have been rejected on the spot, and apparently they were in the past before Obama's second term. Secondly, it's obviously a lie. Imagine all these loan sharks not getting their money back because their victims all fled the country....they'd stop giving out loans. Thirdly, if this was a reason for asylum... they crossed half a dozen nations without requesting it. Finally, because it was obviously a story that the cartels told them to say....they had no details which they could provide as evidence. No name for the loan shark, no name of the business, no record of their business existing. One person even told him she didn't want to return to Brazil because she was scared of sharks....she didn't even understand the lie she was telling. They all got let into the US with asylum hearings years from now.
That's why I support ending asylum....entirely. End it until the changes that are necessary to fix it are made. It's supposed to be for people fleeing state violence and oppression. It's used as a means of cheap illegal labor to replace the slavery we outlawed. When slavery ended...the southern poor got richer. They got paid better wages for farm work. They got paid better wages for all work. Education and literacy improved. It benefitted not just the slaves...but the poor as well. Zelensky is requiring foreign nationals to return to the Ukraine to renew their passports so he can force them into the military. European nations are supporting this....when these people should be able to avoid returning and stay out of the Ukraine because of asylum. It's a joke now....it was a good if naive idea after WW2, but now it doesn't even save anyone from war and it only seems to benefit criminals and terrorists. The economic migrants are being duped into a situation they don't really understand. Look at NYC...the Africans are complaining about not getting enough welfare, food, and shelter....and they supposedly came here because they were scared of being killed....not because they were expecting handouts. Despite this, it appears they were expecting handouts, and were never in any real danger.
