immigration proponents that support Asylum abuse are being shortsighted. (controversial, hiring, claims)

[2357luke]

I think anyone discussing this issue in good faith must admit that many immigration proponents actively support the use of the Asylum system for general economic migration. This view is widespread enough that even hiring more judges to review asylum claims that aren't rubber stamps is controversial enough to stall filling those positions.

Asylum is one of those few systems like the Red Cross that need to be impartial and above reproach to protect it continued existence at all cost by preventing it from being reduced to a political entity to be axed whenever the winds change. Jeopardizing the Asylum systems continued existence when weighed against the benefit's it could provide over many decades is simply not worth messing with.
