We still don’t have a secure border, so more field workers will just flood across the border.
Blanket asylum is a good ruse, but surely someone in Congress will ask: “asylum from what?”
I don’t see how any of this would be good for democrats heading into this election. Not with polls showing Americans overwhelmingly disapproving of the current immigration fiasco because it hurts American jobs.
One conclusion would have to be that Obama ‘wants’ to lose this election. I can’t imagine democrat candidates would sit still for that. I’ve heard of marching in lockstep, but that would take it to a ‘mind-controlled within the collectiv’e level. Are they really there?
Congress, I believe, would not have the authority to say Asylum from What as it appears they have granted that authority to the Executive.
They could change the statute. But it would not affect those granted the status prior to the change in statute. So, it would be the same affect as granting permanent residency.
