Perhaps then we need more stringent guidelines on who qualifies for asylum. If anyone can show up and claim refugee status, it kind of defeats the purpose of such a policy.

Perhaps you have assumptions on asylum. Perhaps you don’t. Let’s start here: Do you know the difference between refugees and asylees? Did you know about the 1980 before you saw me tweet about it? Do you understand what an international treaty is?
-
If you already know this, then let’s keep the thread going. If not, I suggest you start with a website called Google and then read a few books. We can return to this conversation once you know the basics.

It’s definitely an interesting topic! Might be the defining topic of our era.
-
You tweeted earlier that “anyone can show up and claim refugee status.” That’s not how it works. Refugees are people who are outside the United States. Asylum-seekers are those who are already on US soil.
-
I just gave you one really easy explanation. Once you understand more about refugees, asylum-seekers, domestic laws and international treaties, we can have more of a conversation about this. Good luck.

Appreciate the insight. Have a nice day!
