Subject: Re: we don't need nurses, right?
Most latinos and myself don't want large amounts of people trying to get in. We don't want to find out that they're advertising in China, or Yemen that you can walk across the border and apply for asylum in the USA and they'll get you there for $xxxxx.

Sure. But, as albaby argued with Dope, the data show that something like 60% (if memory serves) of asylum-seekers were approved. That's without counsel. They stood in front of a judge and made their case without a lawyer, and it was accepted. So I think your characterization is a little unfair. Not completely inaccurate. Just that a lot of those people were adjudicated to have legitimate claims.
