The Magic Word

John Hinderaker:

That gets to the heart of the immigration crisis. Every person who lives in the Third World and wants to come to America, whether for opportunity or welfare, knows that if he or she is apprehended at the border, the word “asylum” is magic. Rather than being treated, properly, as an illegal alien, under the Biden regime everyone who uttered the word “asylum” would be admitted the the U.S., flown to a desirable destination, and given a date, probably years hence, for an asylum hearing. For which the illegal alien hardly ever showed up. And Democrats classified all of these “asylum seekers” as legal immigrants.

It was a scam that had devastating consequences for American communities. What we really need to do is amend our immigration laws to drastically narrow the “asylum seeker” loophole. Meanwhile, the administration’s order is an important step in the right direction.
