It is mind boggling that asylum seekers are traveling back and forward like they are going on vacation to the country where they feared for their life according to the reason why they applied for asylum.

What a scam and why are governments not hold responsible for the bad vetting that is costing life's of innocent people.

Have you considered they may have family they'd like to help get out?

They do that here too. The Boston Bombers were asylum seekers going back and forth.

Usually, you seek asylum because your life may be in danger. How does it make sense to travel back to the country you feel threatened in?

Sure. "Family". Have you considered that the demonstrated ability to casually travel back to the nation from which they fled invalidates the justification for asylum? It does.

Yep, in Europe they're actually termed "vacations." They're said to be home-sick ...for the place ...that ...they're fleeing for their lives from ...


That's liberalism. The less it makes sense to you, the more intelligent you are.

Cubans do the exact same thing and we keep putting them ahead of everybody else. AND this has been taking place for a long while (way, way before Obama took office).

Why don't you write to your congressman about that?
