What if prospective asylees had to seek refuge in the first safe country they entered or be barred from claiming asylum? That makes too much sense.
Makes no sense. You don't get to decide what safe is.
That is why we have statutes and regs. They can describe what is safe and whether a credible fear exists or not. We can move this process along in a much more expeditious fashion than we currently are.
Putting up arbitrary barriers does not expedite anything
You are a silly boy.
Refugee wants to seek asylum in the US.
You want him to be forced to stop in some country that is safe. As defined by some bureaucrat.
You find that expeditious. And call me silly.
Just say it: you don't want people coming to America. The home of the free is closed.
That in bold is what international law actually dictates. People are free to cross borders to flee imminent peril to their lives (war, famine, pestilence, etc....), but only until they escape the imminent peril. NO ONE has the right to flee across as many borders as they desire to reach the country they desire.
That is not asylum.
That is IMMIGRATION.
We have laws on such things. And those laws have quotas, in both aggregate numbers as well as geographic quotas. They also have preference hierarchy (skills, family ties, etc....). Economic refugees are specifically excluded. Our asylum law is written for POLITICAL refugees, to give sanctuary for people to escape death or incarceration due to belief, language, ethnicity, things which cannot or should not be forced to change. NONE of these people crossing our border qualify.
Our government is expanding the parameters of prosecutorial discretion (on apprehension and deportation) to engage indefacto immigration at 5x or greater the annual statutory limit.
No alien has a right to come to, or reside in, the USA.
None.
Stop, please.
It's wrong.
The American People overwhelmingly oppose it.
And our politicians, knowing that, are circumventing law to do it anyway.
