Acceptance Rate for Asylum Seekers to US Falls to Less Than One Percent

According to the World Bank in 2018, more than three billion persons on earth (out of the more than seven billion that year) struggled to meet their basic needs. Certainly most of them would benefit from relocation to the First World, but it’s not possible for Europe and North America to admit such enormous numbers.

Still, foreigners persist in the fantasy that they can simply move to the US and get a raft of freebies from the unwilling taxpayer: just pronounce the magic word “Asylum” and the keys to the kingdom are handed over to all diverse peoples who claim to be Victims. Alien-transporting cartels spread this lie as part of their marketing plan and use it themselves.

As a result, some unlawful foreigners display extreme entitlement in their attitude:

ILLEGAL ALIEN/ASYLUM CLAIMER: “The only place I want to be is the United States. I never thought I would be returned here to Juarez. I’m waiting to go to the United States with my baby to get the best life for my son.”

Most asylum claimants are economic moochers, period. Before easy travel and cell phones, hispanics south of the border fought revolutions for their freedom and a better life, but later it became easier just to head north.

At least until recently, when President Trump tightened up the rules.

FOX HOST: It’s been almost a year since Washington sent asylum seekers back to Mexico. So far less than one percent have been granted asylum through this controversial program. We have William la Jeunesse joining us from the west coast bureau with more on the story.

WILLIAM LA JEUNESSE: From the president’s point of view the Remain in Mexico plan is working. Out of 24,000 migrants claiming asylum at the border, judges allowed just over 100 to stay in the US — that’s less than one percent, compared to 20 percent in previous years, according to the Syracuse University study. Another 32,000 wait in Mexico, waiting for judges to hear their case. . .

Depending on your politics, those numbers spell success or failure. The administration credits the program in cutting illegal immigration by getting rid of the incentives to make a claim, get released and disappear. The low acceptance rate exposes the scam, they say, that most claims are not based on persecution, but a better job. (Continues)
