Per your link "If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States.", note it says "eligible for asylum" not "eligible to apply for asylum". You do not know if you are "eligible for asylum" until after your case has been reviewed. Also note it says "may be permitted" not "will be permitted". It's a matter of discretion.

Neat story! Now how about the REST of the story:

The head of El Paso area Border Patrol for years was a guy named Silvestre Reyes. He started Operation Hold the Line in 1993 as a response to spiraling crime in El Paso, associated with illegals flooding into the precint. OHTL involved putting tons of officers right on the border, and generally cracking down hard on illegals. Crime in El Paso immediately plummeted, as did the amount of drugs being confiscated. (Illegals and drug gangs were forced to move far afield to get across). Reyes was hailed as a hero. So much so that he was elected to Congress. He got funds for a wall to be built () in the El Paso sector, and illegal immigration/crime remained very low under his watch. (As a Hispanic, he could get away with all this stuff without the "RAAAACCIIIISSTTT!!!" crap being thrown at him). He was a moderate, at least by Dem standards (meaning there really was very little about him that was moderate, but hey, compared to a guy like Obama....)

Interesting thing happened, though: Over the last 20 years El Paso has become even more Hispanic than ever. And it's become a moonbat city. So good old Sylvestre got kicked to the curb a few years ago, and replaced by a guy named "BETO!!!!!!!". Now how could a non-Hispanic beat a Hispanic?? Well Beto is a total moonbat; plus he said pot should be made legal and we should forget about that illegal immigration nonsense........"fear mongering" stuff, you know; plus he feels appropriately guilty of his whiteness, plus blah blah blah. BETO! claimed credit for how safe El Paso has become, by the way.....lol...even as he kicked the guy who truly DID deserve some of that credit out of office.

And now (shocker), the Mexican gang activity in El Paso has increased in the last few years.

Oh well, the thousands of "migrants" being dumped in El Paso (due to Democratic lawmakers and judges) are probably all future members of Rotary or the PTA.....lol

Suck it, El Paso.

You really should be ashamed of yourself for using that phrase (actual concentration camp victims could tell you what a concentration camp is.........that is, if they actually survived being sent to one....)
But shame will elude you once again.

What issue do you have with the safest large city in the country? You don't seem to like that they don't all look like you nor fit into your ugly stereotypes.

Not at all. As you read in my post (but ignored), the guy who more than any one else was responsible for making El Paso pretty safe was a Hispanic.
But they kicked him to the curb..........lol

And last year they were still the safest large city in the country. So I'm still stuck wondering what the problem is.

Even the far-left Politifact says your claim is only half-true:
https://www.politifact.com/texas/sta...-calling-el-p/

And even those stats are now dated; come see me in two years.

By the way, some nutshells are nutshellier than others, and THIS one is a PERFECT nutshell:
The Dem Congress critter who is about to replace Beto!! says that our prime response to the illegals flooding our country should be for US to make their Central American hellhole countries into nice places.......so they won't WANT to come here. (Any one care to guess just how much money would go down THAT sinkhole?? How well THAT would actually work out, in real life and not in moonbat theory??)
Silvestre Reyes (Dem) said our number one response should be border enforcement.

There's your black and white, night and day, folks. I present to you a nutshell.

LOL. They argue that there are other considerations as to considering a city safe and yet, they do not note what they are. Not to mention that these "considerations" would apply to other cities also.

There is nothing from Politicfact that is meaningful.

Spatially El Paso and Ciudad Juarez makes one big city. A wall is 100% justifiable because Ciudad Juarez is one of the most dangerous places in the world. It is you who should wait two years before jumping to conclusions. In the same way there is no wall in Kansas city, there are countries which share the same city without even a fence to separate them.

As for making their countries nice, that is not necessary. Stop destroying them is enough. All the foreign policies, financial institutions and military coups work to depress their wages and cheapen their goods. They are pushed into deals in which they "compete" at the international market with countries that have a lot more technology and give billions of dollars in subsidies to all their industries. What are they supposed to do, just give up and die because they have to respect borders? No, when they lose their jobs, they move to countries who benefit from this scam.

The $5 billions dollar to central America is just going to be used to reinforce the scam. For example, all the foreign aids given to Honduras is supposed to develop their democracy, security, etc. How has this worked out? In 2009, there was a coup, and 2018 the government openly stole the elections; all of this with the blessing of the US to continue to have this pro-American pillaging policies.

Another thing, there should be a point in which people realize that the left/right paradigm is just a distraction. It's all about creating profits and that has no party bias. Maybe when the average standards of Americans is reduced to the level in Mexico will people see how things really work.[you can take this to the bank if you are young enough] The first part: record high profits & tax breaks for the rich is done. The second part: raise taxes for the average person and cut their social programs. This is starting soon.

This college professor explains the whole issue.

Why push others to do what you think is unworkable? BTW, do you mean that fixing our immigration system is unworkable or something else?
