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.

I haven't seen it but it would make perfect sense. The GOP tends to oppose specifically illegal immigration and in name only. In practice they always let it go. A loophole this big would give them all the leeway they need. It would let basically anybody in, and they can say it's not illegal.
