Over the last 26 years we have granted asylum to 1.9 million people. That's only .5% of the US population. The average is about 20,000/yr. 40% of those that apply and pass pre-screening are granted asylum after 3 to 6 mos of interviews and investigation. I seriously doubt that Trump would allow that many in the country. In fact, I don't see any reason he would allow any. There's nothing political or financial in it for him.And conservatives have gone above and beyond the call of disgusting by prohibiting those seeking asylum from doing so.Incredible....
So 1/2 of the patents go to people of foreign origin...
That means 1/2 go to natives.
If Immigrants are not contributing anything in terms of new products, ideas, etc...neither are Americans then. Whatever.
Good discussion. I've learned a lot about conservatives; all of it disgusting.
The reprehensible right, indeed.
If we had to give asylum to everybody that had a crappy country to live in, we would have over 2 billion people here. And again, it's not about asylum, it's about finding ways to sneak into this country without standing in line like everybody else.
That's just it, dope. We don't let in everyone who applies for asylum. There is a process in place to make the determination on their "standing". Asylum applicants are not criminals and have a right to due process under the law.
Yep, and with the time and money spent, we could be doing better things for our country instead. They come here knowing they don't have the qualifications to be granted asylum you dope.
It's the law, dope and we don't have to give 2 billion people asylum like you stupidly suggested.
Do you even have any idea of how many applicants there are annually?
What the approval process is?
What percent of applicants actually receive asylum?
Is that number trending up or down over time?
