But the joke is claiming asylum.

Cubans and Venezuelans of specific backgrounds have good claims for asylum, but the average person arriving actually does not. They are what could be termed economic refugees. The fact that there is any process at all for Mexicans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, etc., to obtain asylum is silly…

There’s a better case that there are Germans and British people who need asylum for their rights to free speech being infringed upon by local tyrannical police.

There needs to be more funding for the courts to hear these cases quickly and for humane living conditions for these people with the burden shared among all states.

I appreciate you offering up this sort of suggestion - it is well intended, and it is the sort of thing that I would support fully since I think it is the the path of least resistance for making progress on this issue.

I do not want to come off as too overbearing - as I may have in the first half of the post - but I do feel strongly about this.

Thanks for a serious and good suggestion.

Also the laws need to be changed to make it easier to obtain work visas so they can work above board

Fully agreed here as well.

I think that we should actively be working to get Mexicans and central Americans to the US on good visas, and that visas should be awarded primarily to young people without criminal histories and who have graduated highschool which would incentivize prosocial behavior in those countries.

We do have some debt to central Americans since we have played insane games in those countries with the CIA for decades.
