I merely point to the WaPo editorial to buttress my point about the system being gamed.
But it doesn't. It merely points out - as I have - that asylum is granted in a minority of cases. That doesn't mean the system is being gamed - it simply means that a lot of people who don't eventually qualify for asylum end up spending a lot of time in the U.S. because the system takes so long. It doesn't mean their claims were faked, specious, or didn't deserve to get a hearing.
As long as it's a valid claim...and we place a limit on how many we accept.
Why? What's the justification for refusing to grant asylum for someone who is, in fact, a legitimate asylee?
