      No, I’m a compassionate human being.

          Declaring asylum seekers to be criminals without hearing their asylum claim is a contributing factor to my characterizing Trump’s separation policy as crime against humanity.

            I didn’t see anything in your source that indicates asylum seekers were deemed criminals without hearing their asylum claim.

                  Most asylum seekers are full of shit. It’s why they are rejected in large numbers.

                  We just need to ignore asylum seekers. It’s abused.

            Illegally immigrating is a crime, regardless if they claim asylum after they get caught.

              One of the components of a crime against humanity is that it is part of an official domestic law or policy, or carried out by officials in their official capacity.

                  Border security is the ends; I’m talking about the means.

              Requesting asylum isn’t a crime, you should read up on border laws if you’re going to be so cheeky and abrasive and wrong.

                I didnt say requesting asylum was a crime. I said illegally immigrating was.
