Food for thought on the immigration debate that I, a liberal, hadn't considered: If there is little-to-no bureaucracy needed for someone to show up and either claim asylum or just live off the books (provided they're not sent back right away), what might be the unintended impact of having elaborate bureaucratic procedures for sending people back to their countries of origin? Might it be create perverse incentives? https://x.com/danielmarans/status/1904590066355495015

1. I reject the framing by Fischer. Biden turned away and had millions of encounters that led to 'deportations'. 2. Biden/Ds were willing to pass and sign the border bill which would have put up restrictions around and expedited asylum claims 3. Boasberg is not preventing deportation proceedings, the admin could still proceed with these for anyone they think is a TdA member. He's blocking determining they're members of TdA and subject to AEA removals to foreign prisons without a habeas petition. Under Biden asylum claims already require documentation/evidence, not just anyone is able to get into the US on a bogus claim and stay indefinitely. Are there bad claims? I'm sure. How widespread of a problem is it? I don't know, but I know one big way to fix it is to properly fund asylum courts which Trump isn't doing and shut down the Border Bill which would have done that.

Yes, the problem is most people understand we can't take in that many people one way or another, but we also can't totally scrap political asylum and there are legitimate claims.
