this is one family
if you take them one at a time.. every family is one family...
I never said I was okay with being over run.. quite the contrary I want every family to go to the back at the line and wait their turn. Why should this family be any different? I asked if we should allow unlimited immigration from any country that does not allow home education and you deflected.

I think it’s a good question, and a tough one, given the way our asylum policy is abused (Boston Bombers anyone?)

RE: if you take them one at a time.. every family is one family...

Nope, not true at all.

We grant asylum on a CASE by CASE basis. We’ve always done that. We did not grant millions of Rwandans asylum in the 1990’s when the Hutus were slaughtering the Tutsis by the hundreds of thousands ( maybe millions ).

We do not grant asylum to all South Sudanese in Darfur when they were systematically being slaughtered by the Northern Muslims.

However, we DO grant asylum to those who are FORTUNATE ENOUGH to have made it to our shores for some reason after looking at their petition and considering the situation they are in. Again the operative word is CASE by CASE.

Is the law CONSISTENT? NO IT ISN’T.

Do you want this law to be scrapped altogether and deport those INDIVIDUALS ( emphasis ) who have made it the the USA, and have a legitimate fear of being killed or jailed or have their children taken away against all known decent concept of HUMAN RIGHTS?

I don’t. Maybe you do.

Fine, fight for the law to be scrapped. You have the right to do so. Call and write to your congressman.
