So 100% of the ones that do are asylees? I think not, failed hearing or no failed hearing.
No group of tens of thousands of people are 100% anything. But if you set your immigration policy on the assumption that most of them are "gaming the system," and that's not true, it doesn't matter that there might be a small number of folks who are in fact trying to game the system. If the overwhelming majority of these folks are pursuing good faith asylum claims, then an immigration policy that shuts its eyes to that fact is going to fail.
Which is why we have a border crisis. We have an immigration system that's set up assuming that most of the folks coming are here for purely economic reasons and cannot assert a good faith claim for asylum....and it's breaking, because there are too many people who have good faith claims for asylum and we haven't adjusted to that fact.
