If showing up at the border and applying for asylum gets you in the same cell and just as deported as getting caught crossing illegally, might as well cross illegally, at least you have a chance of not getting caught. You can't except people to subject themselves to a broken process without any incentive to do so, especially desperate people like refugees.

Immigration is broken? No worries, breaking the Geneva convention will solve it!

What the actual fuck? Like we’re north and South Korea? Or like about to leave a war zone in one of the shitholes we fought in (we made most of them shitholes btw)?

You want to lay mines across our border? To get all those evil unaccompanied minors and moms? Sometimes I can’t believe I fought for your right to say and think this shit. I’m very disappointed in america recently and this is why.
