I guess that depends on the dangers they are facing at home. If they are exposed to cartels and human traffickers at home anyway, you are only adding a travel component. That's not necessarily adding much risk. If you are seeking asylum, it's possible that the dangers at home are at least equal to the dangers during travel.

You don’t get asylum just because you come from a ********. You have to be persecuted. Honestly, if there are people being granted asylum from anywhere in Mexico etc. all the more reason to build the fvcking Wall. Can’t have that **** next door.
You are a gullible fool falling for this crap again....of course that isnt the truth and everyone knows it. Using kids for politics....sad. i beat you didnt even give them candy like you do the neighborhood brats.
Can't you be in a crappy place and fear persecution for not affiliating with a gang or the like? That seems like it would fall under political persecution. If that's happening, are your kids more or less safe at home than they would be in transit? That's why I'm questioning your blanket statement that they are all bad parents.
We taxpayers pay to fly the children back to be with the parents. I saw today that United, American Airlines, Southwest and Delta all will refuse any business flying children to be reunited with the parents. They want absolutely nothing to do with this. I also saw where Microsoft is canceling a contract they have with ICE.
IMO, no. That wouldn’t pass muster for me as a reason for claiming asylum. This might just be where my nationalist tendency to be more focused on our country than on others biasing my viewpoint. If our house was clean, sure. Driving through Baltimore and DC regularly has focused my attention internally and makes me not want to import additional poverty. It’s not sustainable. I want to see us lock it down, control it to only what benefits us, and focus on fixing our inner cities and rural areas here. We can’t even do that yet we want to try and fix Central and South America? No thanks.
I’m not going to argue the parenting aspect, I’ve seen some of this first hand when I lived on the border in Az. I caught some of these folks stealing water out of my water hose one night and almost dropped their *** because it startled and scared me. I let them get some water, gave them some food, and sent them on their way and called ICE. Now, that was me being single and it worked out. Also know of people who were straight up robbed by these kinds of folks. If I was home with my kids, I don’t know that I’d have taken the risk of having my kids subjected to what “could” happen. I know of some horror stories from briefings I received at JTF HQ in El Paso. It’s not all people trying to better their lives. The stuff the cartels are doing to these people are horrific. I can’t believe people would subject their kids to this kind of stuff. It would be akin to letting them play with rattle snakes.
That moment it occurs to you that the least common denominator is your cheerleader. Sad.
