Is asylum a good thing in the USA?

[Anonymous]

I personally think it's terrible. We just accept everyone from 3rd world countries then check it out later and then they stay here as an illegal in a city or state that won't deport them.

It makes no sense, other than the USA's moral high horse. In actual asylum cases like China or Russia (our named adversaries) those nations could easily argue it incentives unlawful doings and the USA admitting such people is a breach of their sovereignty.

What do we gain as a country by taking asylum seekers in droves from failed states like Haiti, Honduras, Colombia etc?

There's exceptions to things like North Korea but they can go to SK who has a bigger birth issue than we do. I just don't understand why this system is necessary or good in any capacity.

Asylum is a net positive

Asylum is a net negative

Asylum is a net positive. It allows victims of persecution to live safely, as is thier right as human beings.

So the USA is morally correct in dismissing the views of other countries and their cultures and laws?

Who says that the USA is correct in their judgement and that we're not harboring criminals to spite other nations? It's certainly his the USA views Snowden

If everyone just runs away from their home everytime there is a problem those problems will never be solved. And soon enough there will be no place to go

The USA is morally correct in whatever it chooses is morally correct.
