The numbers behind the current U.S. asylum system

In the week since President Biden took executive action to restrict the asylum system, the ACLU filed a lawsuit charging that the administration broke asylum law. To put both moves into perspective, CBS News immigration and politics reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez looks at the numbers behind the system.

😂 do you know the history of America? 🇺🇸

[@kingslate1]

@@white_genocide2050 yes, but it was never at the cost of self destruction of the country.

The Asylum system is not broken, they are not being enforced. The democrats working through the UN has marketed, funded, and financially supported the massive migration.

[@papad7924]

Interesting how all of this happened in the past 3 years. Have something to do with who’s in the White House or coincidence?

Immigration is how America was made 😂

⁠@@white_genocide2050 America IS made, are you saying a NEW America is being made?

[@mariahenao9988]

It is imperative that we address the current state of our country. The American Dream seems to be slipping away, and the influx of undocumented immigrants is a matter of grave concern. We must take action to restore the values that make our country great. We need Trump!!!🇺🇸💪😡

The numbers do not lie.

[@teslainthehood2521]

8-10 million when you account the ones that haven’t been seen but came in. and yes they do get federal benefits. Sanctuary city’s give them housing after the shelter that’s federally funded.

[@Minejc12]

Stop calling it asylum

[@thesink5723]

Illegal entry, trespassing!!

Those playing by the rules should be able to have their time shortened. Check in systems if they have multiple violent offenses. It can easily be weaponized against people who need the help. That's what needs to be avoided.
