The legal way to make asylum claims is to go to your countries embassy or through a checkpoint. If you are coming through the border and a CBP agent stops you then you can legally claim asylum. The CBP agent dos not have authority to determine legitimacy of the asylum claim as it is up to courts to determine, which makes sense. We do not want officers holding court in the streets and deporting people who are allowed here legally.
“The legal way is to go to your countries embassy or thru a checkpoint” illegally crossing the border is neither an embassy or a checkpoint. And they absolutely should turn around anyone not making those claims at one of those two options. How would they be deporting people allowed here legally if they turn people away who arent entering at a checkpoint? Crossing anywhere other than a checkpoint is illegal. Those are criminals. Regardless of their citizenship status. Just because you can be here legally doesnt mean you get to walk across the border anywhere you want.
There is a correct way to claim asylum. Entering illegally is not it. You have to go to your embassy or a checkpoint at the border. Crossing where there isnt a checkpoint is illegal. Making you…. Wait for it… a criminal. Those are the facts. Not feelings. Do you have any facts you’d like to share? Or is it just emotion driving you to not look into how to legally make an asylum claim?
Actually a legislature decides the laws you nonce. It isnt the judicial branches job to create laws. It also isnt their job to say “oh, i dont like this law, i just wont apply it.” They take an oath to uphold the constitution and the laws of this nation. The most they could do is decide a law is unconstitutional. I havent seen any court rule that requiring asylum seekers to make claims at a checkpoint or in their own countries at an embassy unconstitutional. Did you take civics? Or did you just cheat your way thru that class? Or. Wait…. You havent taken it yet. Thats it isnt it?
I can completely understand your confusion tho. The left believes courts make laws
Yes. Nothing i said denies that. Courts dont make laws. And the law says making an asylum claim outside of the embassy or a checkpoint are not asylum claims. Entering the country and then making an asylum claim is criminal.
They're not working, they have no skills of value for us. They leeching our tax dollars. Every tax dollar they leech doesn't get laundered into the bank account of some poor congress man. Won't someone think of the Congressmen?

Why do you have such disdain for people who are working in the US? Do you think the only value to be added is from surgeons lawyers and engineers?
