Why Do So Many Illegal Immigrants Apply Political Asylum And Get Approved?

Question

I heard some illegal immigrants hired lawyers and used fake materials to apply for Asylum, some of which are to be accepted for amnesty! I think these are unfair for those who wait in queue overseas with true qualification for long time.

Answer 1

While I question your concern here, I don't think it happens very much but I'm sure it DOES happen.

This is the nature of our society. One based on laws and rules and that order. Makes sense the right way to get in would be LEGALLY. I'd rather see people come in on a sleazy lawyer kinda deal than be given cart blanche amnesty for breaking and entering.

That said, if you don't like this ...don't come to the USA. We are a highly litigeous and overzealous legal crowd. It's the way of the world here.

Highly ironic that our leaders would consider amnesty, encouraging breaking of the law in such an otherwise law and order type of society.

It screams CROOKERY to me (and many others) and I think if they make this mistake it will be over the bodies of many bent and beaten people ...including that of UNCLE SAM himself.

Answer 2

Obviously your opinion isn't based on the facts that immigrations saw. You assume the documents were false but you've never actually read the documents. I will assume immigrations have checked out all documents and proceeded accordingly.

Answer 3

It doesn't surprise me that this is happening. The Mexican government encourages their people to do whatever they have to do to gain entrance and send their $$ back to Mexico. This includes their knowing where to obtain all the fake documents necessary to succeed.

fangtaiyang, there are dozens of Mexican American immigration attorneys who SPECIALIZE in helping illegals obtain all kinds of services FREE OF CHARGE. To them, Mexicans take care of Mexicans. Illegals do not need cash to get representation. They just need a WILLING smart lawyer, and the supply is endless.

Answer 4

That is nonsense.  if a potential immigrant can afford to hire a lawyer, they do not need to sneal across the border.  If the lawyer for this same immigarnt can get approval for asylum, the immigrant would be legal and the immigration would be legal.

Answer 5

Anyone who comes to the US can apply for asylum in the first year (it doesn't matter if at the time one still has a visa or it expired). But does anyone have the grounds for their case? You have to prove that you would be prosecuted or under extremely hardship if you were sent back. If you get denied because your case wasn't strong enough, you are basically going home. So people who get approved, they have the strong cases, not just fake documents. If you are a citizen, for instance, of the UK, it would be hard to prove that you need an asylum in the first place.

In your case, are you applying for refuge? (That's a main difference between a refugee and asylee. A refugee who applies and waits for an answer in his/her country). And it is taking you that long and that's why you are so bitter?

No American lawyer would use fake documents to make a case because a punishment wouldn't be worth of the money they make on it. But of course, there are always some crooks who would take their chances. You can do the same thing at your country. Hire a crook lawyer and try to get an approval in illegal ways, if you want it so bad. I am not sure if it is worth though because I am sure that one day it comes back and bites you but good luck, if that's what you are going after.
