Does anyone know anything about this asylum question? I can't find any information online.

I am playing on the computer, only half listening to the news on my headphones, and the Tucker Carlson show came on. I THOUGHT I heard him say that hidden or included inside a bill that either was or will be passed by Congress, is a proviso that states asylum will automatically be granted to anyone from a foreign country who is fleeing gang violence. Um....that would probably include all of South America and half of Mexico, right? If it is true?

He also says that Republicans in Congress don't seem to care, and he says that this will effectively open our borders to anyone at all, overturning almost all of Trumps' border security issues.

I almost always fact check, because I find anything I hear on TV is usually only half true, if not completely false, but I can't find one article about this, and google usually lists details of bills before Congress.

Does anyone else know any details about this?

Oh, BTW....this question is NOT NOT NOT an open invitation to bully others, be nasty, bash Trump, or any of the other lovely things people seem to enjoy doing.

The Republicans and therefore Fox are against people entering because they are fleeing from the exact same gangs Trump keeps bring up as vicious animals like MS13.

@Pitchblue Yes, I know. Horrible situation. I always wonder why the armies of those countries aren't dispatched to shoot down the gang members like dogs if they are terrorizing their own communities.
The Cartels have more money than the Government does.

@Pitchblue Yeah, and the gangs work for the cartels. Wow. What a damned mess. Hey, maybe we can send in NATO and have their armies shoot up all the Cartel guys. I mean...can we just get this fixed?
No problem, just get the US to stop buying Heroin, Cocaine, Meth and Pot.

@Pitchblue Good gosh...I guess we need to start shooting all the drug addicts...JK!!!!!!!!!!
Duterte is another one of Trump's dictator buddies and that's exactly what he is doing in the Philippines.

@Pitchblue Yeah, I heard about that. Drugs are a very serious problem everywhere, and controlling it...I don't know if anyone knows how.
