nope, we write our laws, we are not dependent on the UN to protect our country. Sorry to bust that bubble. all Congress has to do is rewrite legislation to allow border agents to arrest illegals and release them back to their country. that does not violate your UN regulation.well then democrats can write the legislation that removes the asylum law.democrats refuse to protect Americans
Hyperbole. Contrary to known reality.
Not quite as simple as you suppose.
"Asylum is a protection granted to foreign nationals already in the United States or at the border who meet the international law definition of a “refugee.” The United Nations 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol define a refugee as a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country, and cannot obtain protection in that country, due to past persecution or a well-founded fear of being persecuted in the future “on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Congress incorporated this definition into U.S. immigration law in the Refugee Act of 1980.
As a signatory to the 1967 Protocol, and through U.S. immigration law, the United States has legal obligations to provide protection to those who qualify as refugees. The Refugee Act established two paths to obtain refugee status—either from abroad as a resettled refugee or in the United States as an asylum seeker."
Asylum in the United States
Yes we do and yes we did. Those are the laws. Terrorist laws, right?
