A few politicians such as Rand Paul had raised the issue

The same Rand Paul who wants to swing our borders wide open otherwise.

As we all know, those famous phrases are in the Zeroth Amendment, which supersedes all the rest of the Constitution.

Zing! A French firm is working on an algorithm to detect snark and verbal irony. Now, I consider myself the snarkiest bastard on the internets (and I'm looking forward to the glorious day soon when I see "Blog - Countenance" on Steve Sailer's blogroll), but I just might have to cede my title to thee if you keep this up. That French firm could get plenty of practice by reading Sailer.

It seems pretty clear that there's a very big error rate in our asylum process, mostly on the side of letting in people who don't actually have reason to fear persecution back home. This New Yorker article indicated that its pretty common to make up a story that an immigration court then finds convincing: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/01/110801fa_fact_mehta

I guess my point is it doesn't seem like there needs to have been any hanky-panky for a few undeserving applicants to get asylum.

That must be the case in France too as they've given political asylum to the pro-Pussy Riot FEMEN protester who sawed down that wooden cross in Kiev.

And this is why liberals in MSM use stuff like gay rally to make everyone feel and think as one.

The default presumption ought to be that asylum claimants in first-world countries aren't legitimate asylees. (This is entirely aside from the question of what responsibility we have in the first place for cleaning up after other countries' civil wars, excessive fertility rates, institutional dysfunction, etc.)

If you're escaping genuine persecution, then you shouldn't mind applying for asylum in a poor or middle-income country, particularly one in your own neck of the woods.

Why did these people go to America rather than one of the other half-dozen 'stans? Because they could get away with it.

Tuesday an immigration judge in El Paso granted political asylum to a Mexican citizen whose family members had been killed by extortionist working for criminl gangs in Juarez, MX.

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/nationworld/mexico/20130709-in-rare-step-immigration-court-considers-extortion-as-a-factor-in-political-asylum-case.ece

The story states, "While Mexicans have been granted asylum before, this case is unusual because the local court also considered extortion with the threat of violence — referred to as extortion-plus — as grounds for relief under the law, an unusual step that could pave the way for others in similar circumstances in cities throughout the U.S."

In Mexico, extortion without the threat of violence, well, just aint extortion.

The asylum system, like the entire immigration system itself, is completely corrupted. ADjudicators are rated, and their jobs therefore depend, upon completing cases. Approving a case can take as little as 20m. Denying a case requires at least 1hr and that's for a simple denial. Denials musr also be signed off by a sup. Plus you must be able to write coherently, which already excludes probably 15pc. of the officer corps. There is absolutely no benefit, no attaboy, no reward,for uncovering fraud or denying cases. Only hassles and bad ratings. It is strictly a numbers game, and there are very few of us who refuse to play it. I don't think anybody who has not worked for INS/DHS could even begin to fathom how horrribly, horribly rotten the system is, no matter which party controls the WH. apologies spelling i'm on tablet.

Rosenthal knows it's not about money or votes.

Why do you block comments against genocide?

"In 2011 Murder Inquiry, Hints of Missed Chance to Avert Boston Bombing"

"It was the most brazen crime in the memory of this Boston suburb: three men murdered with knife slashes to their throats in a second-floor apartment at 12 Harding Avenue; each corpse precisely positioned, stomach down, head turned a quarter to the right, marijuana sprinkled on top....

"In the immediate aftermath of the murders, investigators theorized that the killings had been the work of professionals, based on the savageness of the attacks on the three victims, at least two of whom were adept at martial arts, and the lack of evidence at the scene. One early theory was that the assailants might have been part of a “cartel” that felt betrayed by one of the men, according to two law enforcement officials. They said that at least two people had been at the apartment near the time of the deaths, that the killers most likely knew their victims, and that the homicides were not random."

Look to Science Fiction movies to understand this and many other phenomena.

When the UFOs arrive, where do they land? If they are here only for anal probes, they prefer to land in the American Midwest. But if they want to meet Earth's government they land in either New York or Washington.

In the fifties they favored Washington but since the UN is nominally the site of world government they often land in New York.

The real site of world government is Washington DC. Look at it another way if you were a small nation with a limited budget where would you spend your funds so as to get the most bang for the buck? Would you fund a big UN delegation or a lobbying effort on Capitol Hill?

The president and the Congress are the de facto world rulers. Since we are a democracy that means that American citizens bear some of the responsibility to run the planet. But we are sorely lacking in our understanding of much of anything outside our shores.

We worry about a race riot after the Zimmerman verdict. If there is such a riot it will kill maybe ten people. Yet the recent Osh race riot may have killed 1,000 people and not one in a million Americans has ever heard of it.

The problem with the Tsarnaevs is that they are part of a struggle that involves Uzbeks and Kyrgyzs and Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Damn few Americans can even spell these names much less speak knowledgeably about their various political issues.

Yet as the leader of all earth's peoples that is just what's required of us.

I have no solution for this problem. I think we will continue to bumble along making bad judgments based on one part crude analogies and three parts blind ignorance.

Or maybe it's just another question for public education. When we find those Supermen teachers, they can lecture on the various ethnic divisions among the Turkic peoples.

I would go further. The default presumption ought to be that we do not accept asylees.

Mr Anon:

At least, it's hard to see how we could be the most reasonable destination for refugees from Chechniya. Cuba, Haiti, or El Salvador--that's at least plausible, since we're a nearby country. But refugees coming here from Chechniya have to cross a dozen other countries, any of which could offer them asylum. What's wrong with applying for asylum in France or Austria or Turkey or Iran or Pakistan? We're ontp the other side of the damn globe from Chechniya, we have no particular cultural or historic ties to it, etc.
