They HAD due process.

They made their case before a judge, who rejected it.

What they did not have is months and years to disappear into the woodwork while the bureaucracy kicked their paperwork around.

“critics say it circumvents due process”

That’s a good one..Don’t they know after the attempted impeachment of President Trump, who didn’t get due process, that due process is optional?

“If your life was truly in danger and you made it to Mexico - you are safe enough. Trying to upgrade from Mexico to the US is just for economic reasons, not asylum reasons.”

And she should have applied in Mexico, if you want to go with due process.

If you Originally Enter the Country Illegally, you will NEVER get asylum or a Green Card, My Wife came here Legally on a Tourist Visa, then we got married and filed the Paperwork, but she came here LEGALLY Originally.

Good. Deport all illegals - no exceptions. Deport all illegals who claim asylum unless they can prove their claims - again, no exceptions. Deport all foreigners who are a public charge - coming here and demanding that productive Americans support them on welfare - no exceptions.

...an experimental Trump administration program designed to give asylum seekers brief and rapid access to the U.S. legal system...

Why are foreign nationsla all over the globe being given access to the U.S."legal system"? If I want access to our "legal system" as a U.S. citizen I have to be able to afford an attorney. And since when are foreign nationals entitled to "due process"? That's a Constitutional protection and they are NOT citizens.

Wouldn’t Natzi Pelosi’s district be a contributing factor in the spread of the virus in California?

Duh, do you think sneaking across the border also violates “due process”?

I cannot come up with a single legitimate asylum situation when arriving via land from Mexico. If your life was truly in danger and you made it to Mexico - you are safe enough. Trying to upgrade from Mexico to the US is just for economic reasons, not asylum reasons.

Not just that, but asylum claims are supposed to be limited to very specific claims -
- You are unable or unwilling to return to your home country because you have been persecuted there in the past or have a well-founded fear that you will be persecuted if you go back.
- The reason you have been (or will be) persecuted is connected to one of five things: your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion.

What country south of our border actually qualifies here? Venezuela, but what else? None of theose countries have organized oppression. Sure, there tons of corruption, but that's it. On the NGO side there are the drug cartels, but that's pretty iffy on if they would qualify under the above restrictions. Drug cartels go against anyone going against them, they don't care about nationality or creed or skin color. This is a law enforcement issue in those countries, not a grounds for asylum claim. At "best", Congress could pass a temporary refugee status for drug cartel ridden areas, similar to the temporary Haitian one. (And actually end this one in the future!) But otherwise, none of these people should qualify for asylum.
