Speaking of bulls**t, your post is a great example.

The mold is growing at a record rate.

I would be very careful that you don't let your mouth overload your ass. About 87% of the asylum seekers WITH PAID ATTORNEYS show up, dipstick. They are a minority. Most of those without representation just disappear.

Regarding the wall, It is not a Great Wall of China undertaking. It is a barrier at places where the Border Patrol says it is necessary. Of course, you being a Liberal and all, you are obviously so much smarter and more well informed than the Border Patrol and ICE agents who are professional law enforcement on the ground. Why should we listen to them when we have you?

"Asylum seekers, last year, the DOJ said 89 percent of them showed up for their court date. The president has said 2, 3 percent actually show up. The year before that, 91 percent showed up for their court date." A Fox News spokesperson did not respond to a question about whether Earhardt's factual error would be corrected.

The US embassy in Mexico City confirmed in a statement that Washington had begun implementing the new policy, Trump's latest bid to curb i*****l i*********n. Critics say the policy is xenophobic and could put vulnerable refugees at risk.

"The United States has begun implementing the Migrant Protection Protocols," the embassy said, using the US Department of Homeland Security's name for the plan -- which the administration initially called the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

"This action is a response to the illegal migration crisis the United States is facing on its southern border."

It said asylum claims in the US had increased by 2,000 percent in the past five years, "since many migrants know that applying for asylum gives them an opportunity to remain in the United States, even if they do not have a valid asylum claim."

The policy will not apply to Mexicans seeking asylum, the US says. Under international law, asylum applicants cannot be sent back to the country they are fleeing.




Announced last year, the policy aims to curb what Trump calls "catch and release" -- allowing migrants who cross the border without papers and claim asylum to remain in the United States while their cases are processed.

The Homeland Security Department says the change is needed because of a "humanitarian and security crisis" on the US southern border, caused by a broken immigration system "exploited by smugglers, traffickers, and those who have no legal right to remain in the United States."

The US says 90 percent of asylum claims are ultimately rejected as invalid by a judge. Most come from migrants fleeing poverty and gang violence in Central America's "Northern Triangle": Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Many asylum applicants never show up for their court hearings, officials say.

The system is badly backlogged, with 800,000 asylum requests currently pending. The process can take months or even years.
