Caravan of 4000 migrants heading to the US/Mexico border

[bluedivergirl]

And guess what will happen if the migrants arrive here? In a generation the U.S. will have more working families and more proud citizens, and thus will be a greater nation. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

I don't see that with my eyes. I see we have abandoned our former criteria for immigrants. They had to bring something to the table. Money, skill, education.

The same criteria Canada and Australia use.

If we allow these "refugees" in, based on "asylum", and there is a limited amount of Asylum Visas allowed, does that mean we should not allow asylum seekers from Africa, Middle East, China, because the quota has been full? So, we only allow refugees now, who can storm into the border?

How Many People Can Get U.S. Asylum?

The U.S. immigration laws do not set a limit on the number of people who can be awarded asylum in the United States each year. The number of asylum grants varies, depending on how many people apply (either of their own volition or as a defense to deportation), and how many of them are successful with their asylum claim.
