Because it being difficult to legally enter the country runs counter to the narrative that illegals are criminals who refused to do things the right way, rather than desperate people unable to navigate an obtuse system by the legal means. After all, getting non-racists to side with racists requires framing racist ideas as logical things everyone should want. All while setting aside any and all extenuating circumstances or nuance to the situation.

*Most people forget that The U.S involvement in Central America during the 80s is what caused MOST of the instability in that region. During the Reagan years, CIA-sponsored government regimes in Nicaragua, Guatemala & El Salvador led to VERY costly wars. Government Death Squads were formed. Women were raped. Children were killed. Thousands of Innocent lives were victimized. Homes destroyed. Government agencies turned dysfunctional. Gangs formed. Levels of civil unrest increased (evident today). And all for what? To discourage communism?? Those countries are now in WORSE conditions (politically & economically) than they were BEFORE the wars. How dare we criticize or condemn these people for wanting to leave their homelands and come here as immigrants??? The hypocrisy is unreal.*

The keyword that they use in the infograph is refugees that have been resettled. From the little reading that I've done, it doesn't count refugees that simply walked into a country and then went to the procedure to get asylum. Resettling refugees means that they apply from X country to get asylum in Y country. So the numbers they are showing are correct, but they skew the situation by ignoring the millions of refugees that have simply traveled to European countries and started their process there. Between 2003 and 2017 there have been around 5600000 +/- applications for asylums in Europe. On average 50% of those applications get denied, I don't believe it is counting those that will appeal the rejection, keep appealing the rejection to get an indefinite stay or those that decide to stay here illegally after being denied.

Maybe I am a bit strict about the debate, but that’s because my mother would receive death threats and threats of harm to her family almost every single day when she interviewed people for getting green cards and applying for asylum while she worked at INS and ICE. Not all of these people that are coming in are good people. Many are but we need to know that we’re not letting in the bad ones. That’s why the process is difficult.

So basically you need to be a good actor to convince them that you're in danger in your home country and if you're not a good actor they won't believe and you'll not get asylum. Hmmm..... Seems fair

If asylum is hard , than you have no idea how hard is to get a visa.

00:21 Turkey has roughly 2.5 million refugees alone. I expect much better reporting from Vox :/

My father and his entire family came here from that region several decades ago. My grandmother came here by herself leaving her husband and children behind for five years on a working Visa in order to gain the money necessary to get a lawyer to file the paperwork properly to become citizens of this country legally. Freedom is definitely not free, and it definitely has its price. But my family is proof that it can be done legally.

Legal points of entry is "LEGAL"? US laws do not say, "enter anywhere". What's the point of being an American Citizen to hand over earned tax dollars for non-citizens rather than to my schos, my community or needed federal programs? Proud to be an American Citizen coming as an child immigrant LEGALLY. It's already in the policy. It allows us to make sure to prevent criminals or disease be brought over.

It’s difficult because of people coming with cases based on either domestic or gang violence which don’t qualify for asylum. The system is overloaded.

Amazing how ALL reporting is "Believed" and media (false or truth) controls our emotions :o

The system is very complicated, but it has to be. If everyone could go to the place they whish to live, the more prosperous regions of the world would collapse. This is because there is only a limited amount of work and other ressources. By expanding the population with wast amounts over a short period of time, one risks creating such a large demand for goods that the economy can't match. Also, it has to betaken into consideration that the welfare states of europe and (partially) the US would have to deal with the burden of handing out benefits to the newly arrived people, who (because of reasons explained above) will not give anything in return. This almost always leads to a rise in crime, because the newly arrived people want to make money and crime can provide that. The system is not what anybody would like to have from a humanitarian perspective, but the only solution that does not collapse our own system. All virtue-signalling whiny comments about morals and feelings can't change that. It's not like we don't want to help these people. We just can't.

If that happens they still get welfare bonuses which weakens the economy and prevents them from social interaction with natives, thus slowing down or even preventing integration.

It's important to remember that the source of the whole illegal immigration problem that the United States is facing is the longtime U.S. involvement in Latin America (especially in Central America) that has destabilized the region and prompted many to cross into the United States. While communism was one of the ways that the U.S. government has rationalized its interventions, the U.S. also intervened long before communism was even a concern for the government. Starting in 1823 with the Monroe Doctrine, the United States was essentially telling Europe that Latin America was its zone of influence now. Even then, the U.S. helped Europe invade parts of Latin America such as the Falklands, Mexico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua. After that, U.S. intervention continued, to various levels, in the Mexican-American War, War of the Pacific, Venezuelan crisis of 1895, the Spanish-American War, the building of the Panama Canal, the Mexican Revolution, U.S. occupation of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, the Banana Wars in which the United States intervened in Cuba, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Colombia, all before communism was cited as a reason for intervention. U.S. intervention still continued with Operation PBSUCCESS, the Bay of Pigs invasion, Operation Power Pack, Operation Brother Sam, the 1973 Chile coup, Operation Condor, the Bolivian Cocaine Coup, support for the Contras, Guatemalan coup, Operation Charly, which was the brutal U.S. supported Argentine intervention in Central America, invasion of Panama, support for José Napoleón Duarte, the U.S. implementation of the War on Drugs, and many other CIA covert operations. The U.S. has also backed many brutal dictators and leaders who have terrible human rights records such as the Somozas, Maximilio Hernández, Rafael Trujillo, Batista, Pinochet, José Napoleón Duarte, Alvaro Uribe, Roberto Suazo Cordova, Manuel Noriega, Hugo Banzer, Efraín Ríos Montt, François Duvalier, Alberto Fujimori, and Manuel Odría, as well as many others in Latin America and the world. Thus, it is no surprise that the United States is having this illegal immigration problem as the United States' many interventions in Latin America, and specifically, for this issue, the United States' many interventions in Central America, have destabilized the region, prompting bad economies and conditions so bad that people are driven to believe that it is better to move and risk everything to embark on the dangerous journey to the United States, and once/if they arrive to face racism, discrimination, the separation of families, abuse, slave wages, deportation (and a return to those terrible circumstances that prompted them to leave), and conditions that citizens wouldn't have to endure.

America created the situation that is leading people to leave Latin America.

The did so by installing extremely corrupt puppet leaders, and then those puppet leaders were toppled by even worse rulers. I know this, as I am the son of refugees who fled to Canada after a brutal, American backed regime destroyed my parent's homeland.

Yeah its so difficult that we have several hotels in my city housing people that havent even been granted asylum yet because there is no housing left. Must be real difficult.

Every visa is easy as compared to fiancee and spouse visas.

>Says asylum seekers could be denied due process, doesn't in any way explain how or why this is the case. Sure, ok then. I mean, saying that a shrinking percentage of cases are getting approved as the number of cases grow doesn't inherently mean anyone deserving asylum is denied it, nor that due process is not given. Huge leap to imply that falling off along the steps is being denied due process, when there is no proof of such.

Why don’t they migrate to South America?

According to the UNHCR, of the 14.4 million refugees of concern to the UNHCR around the world, less than one per cent are submitted for resettlement

Borders are for crushing people. When the situation in a region goes badly for whatever reason borders stand as a reason to not help. People could move away from a bad situation... except borders. We'd like to send aid... except borders. The ruling class in that area are really unfair to those others, we'd say or do something... except borders. Borders are a human construct. We've drawn some in logical places like oceans, rivers, mountain ranges. Most are entirely arbitrary like the 49th parallel. Some are obscenely perverse like Lesotho. Many ignore cultural ties like most borders in the Middle East and Africa, drawn by European colonialists. Borders are figments of national pride in an effort to remain legitimate in a world of global trade and internet. Multinational corporations largely ignore borders except when it comes to avoiding taxes. Internet is kept out at great expense (great firewall of China) and detriment to the nation. Borders inhibit humanitarianism. Borders are exploited for profit. It's time for borders to be thrown on the junk heap of history.

Ropsana Khanom im not saying human rights should be denied for not speaking the language of a country. I’m saying that there are many other countries that speak their languages that are much closer and easier to be granted asylum in to. The reason that the documents are required to be in English is that the majority of the country only speaks English. It is much more fair for these people to go to a country where the majority of the population can understand what you’re saying. The majority of these countries speak Spanish, which is the first language for most of Mexico, a country that is quite safe for refugees to stay in, especially in the southern regions of the country.

English is not the official language of the United States, just de facto. Many migrants don't speak english and there's nothing stopping the US Government from providing documentation in spanish (The second most common language in the US) outside of purposeful obfuscation. If you agree with this tactic, that's your opinion. But it is most likely a decision made by the US Government to be purposefully difficult for migrants to apply for asylum and isn't bound by law.

America would be the last place I would try to seek asylum. Especially as someone from South or Middle America.

This is such a complicated. You can't just let everyone in because it puts a strain on the economy to take care of everyone who wants in. You also can have them come in because you need to get these people. But knowing the hard times people are going through makes it hard to not just bring them in.

The thing is the vast majority of these people aren't REALLY fleeing their countries because their life is in danger, so they are not refugees. I live in Phoenix and there are a ton of illegal immigrants here. They don't pay taxes, say things like "I don't need to learn English" don't show any respect for this country and just demand this and that... Im am sick and tired of it!
