Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How would you get to US soil to seek asylum?
There are ports of entry specifically for this purpose. https://www.rescue.org/article/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum
You don't need to sneak into the country and THEN request asylum. You could also drive, fly, or boat, just so long as you declare your request for asylum at the proper port of entry.
I'm not here arguing the law, or the process, this is just how it is at current, and has been in flux for decades. The problem is that the more people don't follow these procedures, the more the anti-immigration lobby gets their point made and succeeds in all the fear mongering tactics they employ.
Well, first you have to have an appointment for a point of entry, and in the US you could wait weeks, if not months for that date. But, think what you must.
No. As the link says, anyone requesting asylum at a point of entry will not be turned away. Before you start spouting equally as ignorant shit about the process, get informed. You're just as idiotic as the bigoted assholes on the other side of your argument. Be better than that.
