It's certainly not the best way of expressing "want to avoid a much worse life of persecution and violence through asylum". Asylum is meant to be people who are forced out of their homes, not encouraged in to ours.

I don't like these justifications. If someone wants a better life, that would mean millions of people all around the world should request asylum. We need to be denying some people above some threshold

I had my concerns about Biden's energy, but I didn't think it'd be this obvious. Can he go the whole way?

did you catch the moderator calling the 3 million "Americans." This "decriminalize the border" thing is the new euphemism.

it could have just been a slip up, but the way he's been going...

They're not pro-open borders. They're just anti inhumane camps. This isn't an issue with two extreme positions and no middle ground.

I wish I lived in the world in xDaunt's head sometimes. Conservatives being persecuted for their bigoted opinions, a major party in the most important country in the world being for open borders... sounds rad.

They are saying if you show up and say "my life is really bad back home", they can stay, at least for a while. Then what? Deported later? Depending on what criteria? I am hearing nothing about who gets denied. Does anyone get denied?

Kamala is much better when she has a short script. She gets worse then more she has to improvise.

Decriminalizing illegal immigration is an open borders policy. There's no way around it.

Harris and buttiegig are having absolutely amazing nights. Biden suffering a lot. Bernie feels completely irrelevant.

A significant majority denied. Seeking asylum is really hard. The problem is there are very few asylum judges and the system is massively backlogged. If they actually had a working system it would be a case of showing up, making your case at the port of entry, then getting returned back to the other side of the border with your suitcase. Instead we have people showing up and being put on a five year waitlist before kicking them back out.

The nationality most commonly approved for asylum is Chinese fleeing religious persecution because they get a lot of help making their claims from churches. The gov doesn't provide any representation for asylum hearings and the judges have almost no time per case. When people think asylum seeker they should be thinking Chinese Christian fleeing religious persecution in PRC, not Mexican, but the biases are pretty entrenched.

?? The same way speeding not being criminal means that it's totally ok to drive 85 on a 50 road?

Do white people feel safer when they see a cop like Buttigieg said?

Also Buttigieg is going to get an anomalous amount of searches related to spelling his name right, not political interest.

I really hope that Swalwell lasts a long time. The dude is just going to repeatedly torpedo all of the viable candidates with his utter stupidity.
