@BRockIITWi "Please tell us what conservatives are misinformed about?"
Context, facts, law.
"What is asylum? Asylum is a form of protection which allows an individual to remain in the United States instead of being removed (deported) to a country where he or she fears persecution or harm. Under U.S. law, people who flee their countries because they fear persecution can apply for asylum. If they are granted asylum, this gives them protection and the right to stay in the United States."
They can gain protections and access to stay in the US under those protections before asylum is granted. Unaccompanied minors and others who qualify under title 42 would also be placed in that process and held in the US under our protection, as they are flown into cities at night just like they were under Trump. Those who do not pass initial screening or do not qualify under title 42 are put into deportation proceedings.
"Those who are granted asylum are called asylees. Note: According to U.S. immigration law, a refugee is someone who has been resettled to the United States through the U.S. resettlement program. This is a separate process than asylum. For more information on resettled refugees, please see Rights and Duties of Refugees."
Agreed, and you would be the minority out of thousands I've spoke to on the Right in the last 5 years to know that. That is due to Right wing media manipulation.
"To apply for asylum in the U.S., you must be physically present in the U.S. or be seeking entry into the U.S. at a port of entry. "
Point of entry is irrelevant as long as they seek out a border agent and request. Border patrol opening a gate with national guard standing there, and taking them in for processing is the legal process and not violating the law as your media has attempted to claim. They can not be caught wandering Dallas and claim asylum. Port of entries have max quotas of asylum seeker they can take daily, and asylum seekers are forced into remain in Mexico policies that forced more border crossings and more trafficking. Title 42 removes penalties in our laws fro immigrants crossing multiple times and who do not qualify under title 42. That removes penalties that deter those who have already been deported.
"Persecution can be harm or threats of harm to you or your family or to people similar to you. A person can also obtain asylum if he or she has suffered persecution in his or her country in the past. You only can win asylum if at least one of the reasons someone harmed or may harm you is because of your race, Grounds Grounds for asylum in us Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to: Race. Religion. Nationality. Membership in a particular social group. Political opinion. religion, nationality, political opinion (or a political opinion someone thinks you have), or the fact that you are part of a “particular social group.”
Agreed, yet still irrelevant as they still get to ask and go through the process and are deported if they do not qualify. Yet now the Right wants to continue to interfere with that process, by shipping them to Dem cities in a political stunt to pander to the base who just want to stick it to dems. And don't care about laws or the process.
"Policy Us asylum policy Under U.S. law, people who flee their countries because they fear persecution can apply for asylum. If they are granted asylum, this gives them protection and the right to stay in the United States. Those who are granted asylum are called asylees."
Agreed, but lacking in some context that I believe I've covered.
" Politifact Donald Trump stated on April 21, 2017 in an interview with the Associated Press: Illegal immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border is "the lowest in 17 years." Politifact says it's a true statement."
Yes Donald taking credit for and saying out of context southern border crossings under me are at a 17 year low.
Reality.
We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing beginning in 2000 when we had about 1 million per year. By around 2008 we had 800,000 per year. That decline continued to the lowest point in 50 years, by the FISCAL year end of 2017. That year started under Obama's last FISCAL year end budget. Trumps first immigration policies tool place in late summer of 2018. By the end of 2019 border crossing had doubled to 977,000, a 20 year high. 2020 had 9 months of low border crossing due to covid before it was back to a 20 year monthly high by October of 2020. It remained a 20 year high and growing ever since under those failed policies.
I'm betting Politifact added that context somewhere.

@BRockIITWi Here is what is going on with our overwhelmed process.
To cross our border illegally for the first time is a misdemeanor that carries a civil offense US code 1325. That person or family group has to be processed and then deported. That way when immigrants try and cross again they fall under US code 1326, that carries stronger penalties as a deterrent.
Title 42 removes penalties under those laws. It's being used to undermines our legal asylum laws and just deports immigrants after processing. With no penalty system in place under title 42, this has caused more border returns who do not face penalties that they would face under normal immigration law. It also means apprehension numbers accounted for are not accurate. Current rate of returns is above 40%
US code 1158 is our asylum law, that the Right wants to ignore and undermine. It allows an immigrant to cross our border legally and request asylum, just as if they were at a check point. The Right has lied about it, ignored it, removed context and omitted it from their new reports, and Trumps policies criminalized it in violation of US immigration law, with his child separation policy. That policy on asylum seekers was removed in federal court. This is the 40 year asylum laws the Right refer to as “Open Borders”.
Remain in Mexico, forces legal asylum seekers who have used a port of entry and have passed a creditable fear interview to remain on the Mexican side of the border. US law says they are to remain in the US, US code 1158 section 1125. This law the Right calls catch and release. Due to restriction at check points it is easier to be granted asylum by crossing between check points. Especially under Trump's hard line policies. It also forces legal asylum seekers to wait in Mexico at the hands of cartels and traffickers, causing more suffering for legal asylum seekers.
Unaccompanied minors that are apprehended are automatically entered into our asylum process. They have to be transported out of CBP hands within 72 hours to family services, a sponsor, or family in country. Many on flights to US cities as per law in every administration including Trumps.
Single adults are still all placed in deportation proceeding under title 42. They are responsible for the increased repeat offenders under title 42 lack of penalty. Title 42 is being used to ignore our Immigration laws and treaty obligations for asylum. They should be allowed to request asylum and go through the process to qualify. Due to the number of immigrants neither side (in leadership) want's it removed.
Family units entry depends on the title 42 restrictions and asylum request and along with how they entered. They can be deported or put into our asylum process.
The Mexican government changing laws in areas on the border that can't handle the influx of refuges due to Trumps remain in Mexico policy. Those who are not Mexican nationals, that we apprehend in one area on the border have to be transported to another area or city on the border to be deported.
Due to the increased number at the border we have to transport some to CBP at our northerner border for processing.
