I don't know if it's true, but someone here wrote the other day that our political asylum policies and laws did not, or should not, apply to these illegals. I don't have the black letter law, but: "The right of asylum (sometimes called political asylum, from the Greek: ἄσυλον) is an ancient juridical concept, under which a person persecuted by his or her own country may be protected by another sovereign authority, a foreign country, or church sanctuaries (as in medieval times)." Ordinarily someone like Edward Snowden seeks and is granted political asylum. Ordinarily the country granting asylum knows that the country seeking the individual wants him back in order to punish him. Here, we have El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras all saying, "Please take them. We don't want them." But that's not all: they have the temerity to suggest that these tattooed, dead-end gang-bangers are somehow our fault and we are obligated to accept them. And the Loyal Opposition, as usual, reminds us to stress "loyal" while "opposition," not so much. They're on board with amnesty by other means. If they were not, they would be calling on Obama with ultimatums.

I don’t know anything about asylum law but I read a post on FR within the last few days from someone that seemed to know. They said asylum had to happen while the person was in their country of origin. Therefore, those that have crossed our border cannot be granted asylum and that’s why Obummer is looking at sending his minions to Honduras to process kids there then send them on planes here.

As I mentioned on another thread, the “kids” are being reunited with sponsors and family members all over the country and we the taxpayer are paying these families $$$s to care for the kids. Many/most of the family members are here illegally (the Feds aren’t checking legal status). IMO the sane thing to do would be to ship the entire family back to the country of origin; however, than wouldn’t fall into Obama’s grand plan.
