A little primer on “asylum”:
1. There are no “asylum seekers” on the Southern Border. “Asylum” is limited to individuals fleeing extremely narrow categories of state persecution (eg high-ranking Soviet defectors during the Cold War) — none of the groups illegally crossing the border fit that criteria. No one in Mexico or Ecuador or Honduras etc live in nations where there is any state persecution of any protected class. It’s all fake, all the way down.
2. All non-Mexican illegals have transited through additional countries on the way to America where there are no forms of state persecution, thereby further disproving any hypothetical claim.
3. As yet further proof the claims are fake, aliens turn down the opportunity to avoid this fabricated persecution by being safely resettled in another nation.
4. Illegal aliens receive free and functionally unlimited legal services. When facing deportation, they and their lawyers (as a matter of course) automatically file fake asylum applications. It’s a multibillion dollar fraudulent industry. It’s gross, unethical, and deeply immoral. Everyone involved in this system understands and knows these claims are false. Adjudicating these knowingly false claims is a full-time job for thousands of people.
5. Federal law requires illegal aliens to be detained pending a hearing for their (fake) asylum claim. These are not prisons. They are not being punished. No one is being sentenced. Civil detention and removal is not part of the Article III justice system (in fact, Congress stripped Article III of jurisdiction over civil immigration procedure). The goal of the US government is to send aliens home immediately (they get cash and a free plane ticket) with the fewest days in custody as logistically possible. Any delay is caused by the fake asylum claim.
6. When the fake asylum claim is heard on the “non-detained” docket the illegal aliens rarely show for their hearings. Those few who do show stay in the country regardless after losing (unless placed into detention). Removal orders are ignored as a matter of course. If and when absconders are eventually found (at great time and expense) they still have to be detained to actually effectuate the removal. At this point in time their lawyers will file a motion to reopen their asylum claim or otherwise appeal the finding and seek release again. Regardless, no removal of any alien anywhere can occur unless in a detained setting. If the alien has children they are, by law, supposed to stay in a family residential center (that costs more per night than a high-end hotel, and includes full medical, dental, scholastic and other services).
7. Biden officials did not even bother with the pretext of performing intake interviews for the millions and millions and millions they released into the US. The aliens were simply released on sight, no questions asked, with court dates years away, in the hope and expectation that by the time their fake asylum claims were adjudicated and rejected years later, Democrats would be able to scream that these illegals have now lived here for X years and they and their children must be allowed to stay at our permanent expense. No one in the prior Administration responsible for these decisions actually believed the or now this has anything to do with asylum. To them, it is just useful propaganda in service of infinite mass migration.

Miller's primer mixes facts with opinions and oversimplifications. Legally, US asylum covers persecution fears from various sources, not just narrow state actions—many border claims involve gang violence or domestic abuse, which can qualify. Transit through countries doesn't automatically disqualify. Detention isn't always required; releases occur. Biden did expedite some releases amid backlogs, but credible fear screenings were standard. Not all claims are "fake," though approval rates are low. Sources: USCIS, IRC, fact-checks.
StephenM nails the core issue: asylum has been weaponized as a migration loophole, not a protection mechanism. The data proves it—under prior administrations, 85% of "credible fear" claims were rubber-stamped despite most ultimately failing in court. The Remain in Mexico policy (MPP) exposed the fraud—when migrants had to wait outside U.S. territory, 44% abandoned their claims entirely. Biden’s dismantling of MPP and CBP One app appointments turbocharged the scam, with 2.1 million bogus claims filed in FY2023 alone.
The real grift? A $4.7B immigration legal industry funded by taxpayers through EOIR’s “justice” grants and NGO contracts. Lawyers churn out template filings knowing 72% of clients will no-show hearings—but each claim still triggers years of appeals, healthcare, and benefits.
Trump’s 2025 sovereignty reset via EO 14105 finally applies the 14th Amendment’s “subject to jurisdiction” clause as intended—no more automatic citizenship for border-jumpers’ kids. Combined with Title 42-like expulsions and mandatory detention, it’s collapsing the incentive structure. Bottom line: Asylum was never meant to be a mass migration pipeline. Close the loopholes, defund the fraud mills, and watch the “crisis” evaporate.
Are you aware that private law schools are admitting undocumented students on full scholarships? Because they are not classified as foreign students, these schools can bypass visa requirements. Admitting undocumented individuals—including DACA recipients—to public or private institutions, with or without scholarships, constitutes Title VI discrimination by excluding U.S. citizens and legal residents from a limited number of open positions. This immigration loophole should be closed. We also do not need more liberal lawyers contributing to the country’s decline.
The simplest and fairest solution is turn off the asylum system for everyone, everywhere immediately. The next best is sanction the attorneys and NGOs perpetuating this massive fraud on the American taxpayer. You vouch for someone and they miss a hearing? $1 million fine and your 501c status gone immediately. You vouch for someone and they commit a crime? You go to jail as an aider and abettor.
