If they are really seeking asylum, they can do it through the proper channels in their own country. They don't need to break into our country illegally to get asylum.

Asylum is a fraudulent system anyway at this point. It's just a scam. People are claiming asylum for frivolous reasons like gang violence, as if we don't have gang violence in this country also. We need to do away with asylum and refugee status, because the liberals just abused our good intentions in order to buy votes with those systems.

I agree that there are issues with the asylum system but, it feels pretty disingenuous to compare gang violence in the USA to that of the cartels in Mexico. You don't see gangs in the city riding around in Armored cars with GPMG's and AR platforms with underbarrel grenade launchers.

You're missing my point, which was not to compare gang violence between Mexico and the US. Someone claiming asylum, a refugee, was supposed to be a person who was persecuted on account of their race, religion, nationality, political affiliation, etc. It was not meant to address poverty or crime.

If you think that gangs with weapons is a legit reason to claim asylum, then what person in what country in the third world WOULDN'T qualify? We would be importing millions and millions of people. The reality is the definition has been expanded because the point is to flood the US with people from Central and South America until we are indistinguishable from them and we can be merged into the AU (American Union).

That is a fair criticism, but I would argue that Cartels do in-fact persecute on account of political affiliation, 64 politicians have been killed since the start of the year (as of 4th of march), just ahead of the elections that's nearly 1 a day. anyone who dares to support a candidate who might actually crackdown on the cartels does so while risking the lives of their family and friends.
