Crashing the system (any system it seems) is the modus-operandi of the radical Left these days. We have the Cloward-Piven strategists busy crashing the welfare system, the union thugs planning to crash the banks in May and we have the pro-migration/open borders gang crashing the immigration court system by urging more and more people to seek asylum in the US.
This story, hat tip Paul, begins with the dramatic tale of a woman from Cameroon who spent five years trying to get asylum in the US—this after abandoning her children including an approximately 5 year old girl in Africa. Give me a break! This story sounds so ridiculously phony no wonder it took five years and two whiz-bang lawyers to get her through the process.
You can go read the story yourself, here.
I’m reminded of the Somalis I wrote about here—young men and women with no English language skills managing to get tens of thousands of dollars and phony passports needed for the circuitous trip to the US (including a stop in Cuba) who then arrive on our border and say—give me asylum, I’m being persecuted. It strains credulity and leads me to believe that they are getting advance help from people within the United States.
Just ask yourselves, how does some poor woman from Cameroon (depicted in this article) have the where-with-all to get all the way across the world, get into the US and have two sharp lawyers ready and able to get her through the legal system? And, then she brings her previously abandoned and mostly grown children to join her.
In March of 2010, I attended the 30th anniversary celebration of the passage of the Refugee Resettlement Act of 1980. Here is one post I wrote at the time. I wondered then about how much of the conference was being devoted to talking about these immigration courts and asylum generally. Now I realize that they have been at this for some time—expanding the use of the asylum process to get more and more immigrants into the US. A program that was originally expected to allow the odd ballet dancer to defect (according to Doris Meissner mentioned here) has become a major avenue for bringing third worlders into the US—heck, I guess the refugee program at 80,000 or so a year wasn’t doing it fast enough.
Maybe before its too late someone involved in the scheme will realize how this is all part of a plan to bring down America as we know it and blow the whistle (but I won’t hold my breath!).
