Meanwhile, back on immigration, Ann Coulter’s getting touted by Mickey Kaus for speaking the truth about amnesty - that millions will get in and stay here…

Ann Coulter has the dirty truth Trump isn’t telling you: the hundreds of thousands—on track for millions—of border crossers with flimsy “asylum” claims ARE GETTING IN AND THEY WILL BE STAYING HERE.https://t.co/KB2jEBSDnn https://t.co/lQgIL9LpjW

That too is bulkshit.

Only a fraction of those seeking asylum here are ever granted asylum. In fact, only a fraction of those coming to the US seek asylum. There were something like 90,000 asylum claims made in 2016. That sounds like a lot… but it isn’t a crisis.

Between 2016 and 2017, the foreign-born population increased by about 787,000, or almost 2 percent—a rate higher than the 1 percent growth experienced between 2015 and 2016, but lower than the 3 percent increase between 2013 and 2014.

What’s a crisis is that Trump doesn’t want to actually hike the number of judges that would be needed to clear the backlog and speedily process claims (all immigration claims, which often result in those overstaying their visas, the prime cause of being undocumented, not because they crossed a border where there was no port of entry). Asylum claims take time to process because the courts need to review all kinds of documents. It’s not easy, and not all claims get approved.

Put another way, there aren’t millions of people seeking or claiming asylum. And there isn’t a cumulative millions of people seeking asylum.

The white nationalists are busy claiming a crisis exists because nonwhites are seeking legal immigration to the US.
