Stop Special Interest Asylum Abuse
Reforming the refugee and asylum system means returning to the original purpose and definition of the program: “any person who... is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion....”
America must honor it responsibilities to protect people who are fleeing true political persecution as defined by U.S. and international law. Efforts to expand those definitions to include all forms of “social persecution” invite massive fraud and endanger the security of this nation. Similarly, treating aliens illegally residing in the country the same as foreigners on legal visitor visas for purposes of the Temporary Protected Status designation is illogical and a form of amnesty that must be ended.
All admission of immigrants should come within a single, stable ceiling which is periodically reviewed on the basis of a reasoned, explicit goal of achieving population stability. We should abolish special preferences such as the Cuban Adjustment Act

The government does enough already. They get free housing, council tax, food vouchers, loans for cars etc. More than me and my family get and we are struggling to survive in a big way even though we both work. There are also at least 500,000 illegal immigrants in this country and its rising daily. That seems like a small amount compared to America but we are a tiny country and cannot cope with this influx.

Seekers of asylums in churches, etc. is a political action by individuals to get public sympathy and support for thier cause.
The government can only react to public pressure not create it.

One answer is that the Govt does actually know how may asylum seekers there are in the country or where exactly they are. This is because the Govt is INCOMPETENT!!!!

The people who get asylum here should probably get sent home to get executed. They are traitors in there own right.
