As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

@QasimRashid what stops the entire world from coming a seeking asylum. Just asking for clarity as I don’t understand the rules.
@abbas @QasimRashid I also wonder this. I’d really like to know what % of these recent immigrants are claiming asylum for invalid reasons? What % even show up to their hearings?
I’m all for immigrants coming here but there need to be some limits.
