There are how many million illegal immigrants in the US ? (not only from Mexico) ? Say 10’s of millions, etc.
If a country has 10 million people trying to leave because of religious persecution, it’s a bigger problem than can be handled by granting asylum in the US.
The US does grant asylum on a case by case basis, but we can’t handle a case of 10 million, 20 million, etc.

We don’t grant asylum to all people from Rwanda when they were being slaughtered were we?
We don’t grant asylum to all North Koreans do we?
However, we DO on a case by case basis grant asylum to SOME Rwandans or North Koreans who by luck or good fortune, happen to arrive at our shores safely.
That’s just the way things are currently.
Unless of course you want to SCRAP the asylum law altogether to be absolutely consistent and deport these unfortunate people home to be slaughtered, jailed or starved.
