At present we are saddled with antiquated immigration laws left over from the Great Reagan Amnesty of 1986. These laws create a giant asylum loophole that Congress needs to close - that only Congress can close.
One of the things that can be done with new immigration legislation is to greatly speed up the asylum decision process. Currently, a year is not atypical for asylum decision delays; a year in which the seeker can legally live and work in the US. That year or more, all by itself, is a giant incentive to come seek asylum.
Speeding up the asylum process - even reducing it to two long months - would remove most of the incentive for seekers to abuse the process. That reduction was one of the big elements of the Senate Bipartisan Border bill.
It's a little more complicated than "big beautiful wall" but it's not an insurmountable problem. It just takes a little bipartisanship.
Asylum seekers are 90% liars and should not be let in until they prove their case.
Your 90% is probably not too far from the truth.At present we are saddled with antiquated immigration laws left over from the Great Reagan Amnesty of 1986. These laws create a giant asylum loophole that Congress needs to close - that only Congress can close.
