OK so you can ask for asylum after you have been captured illegally crossing the border BUT if you do not get captured you can just keep going. Would you agree that not everyone gets captured? Careful now because if you agree to that you will defeat the argument you are trying to support.

Are you making your best argument now? Sorry that is one weak argument.

Oh by all means disciple Clint, quote the part in the linked article which change what Biden said plain. That his administration would process asylum seekers better. I await your substantial refutation to my "weak" argument.

Asylum seekers are crossing the border legally to be “physically present in the United States”, by international Treaty, (which you will recall) has the effect of Law in the United States, per the Constitution.

Come on what I wrote is not that hard to understand, stop trying to avoid the obvious.

You must apply for asylum within one year of the date of your last arrival in the United States, unless you can show:

  • Changed circumstances that materially affect your eligibility for asylum or extraordinary circumstances relating to the delay in filing; and
  • You filed within a reasonable amount of time given those circumstances.
They get a year leeway.

Just like in the olden days when you could walk from Bethlehem into Egypt?
Do you think Jesus was an illegal alien? I have no idea what the laws were then but the Bible talks about paying taxes so there had to be some laws and accountability for those residing in a nation.

No my world view embraces the truth of what happened

The subject of your own thread is false, so you'll excuse my skepticism on that point.

You call the difference "splitting hairs". Looks like we're going with the second option - you don't differentiate between asylum seekers and "illegals". Both are undesirables to you.

So, the subject of the thread is now this - what is your problem with asylum seekers and/or the concept of seeking asylum?
