It is legal if u enter thru a port of entry & u are escaping political persecution.. or war With asylum you also have to seek it in 1st county land in. You can fly from the Congo, land in Brazil & travel through 5 countries to America then say you claim asylum. U know this Lieu

Many of the so called asylum seekers are being offered Asylum in Mexico & refusing. If you are really in danger & fearing for your life in Honduras, why not accept it Mexico? The truth is, these are NOT asylum seekers, they are economic migrants trying to cut the line..

Yeah, at the port of entry Not after you get caught illegal in our country. Quit lying to people There is a huge difference and you know it

It’s like breaking into a bank, and if you get caught saying “I’m here to apply for a loan” LOL #LiberalsarePathetic

Reminder: Over 80% of asylum claims from Central American seekers are illegitimate.

Reminder: there are radio commercials in Honduras end elsewhere telling migrants to say 'asylum' at the US border, and to bring a child. I would love to know who is buying those ads, and who is providing the cash...

REMINDER: Epstien docs have been made public. Losing control of the narrative?

Irrelevant. And incorrect. Asylum seekers may be either in the U.S. or a port of entry to apply for asylum. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158 … And Trump’s “first country rule” treaty with Mexico cannot circumvent the unambiguous language of the statute unless ratified by Congress.
