  8.  @judykelly5477  §1158. Asylum (a) Authority to apply for asylum (1) In general Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title. The Right want's to ignore and bypass this law to fit a Right wing agenda. The left is following the law. We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years according to the border patrol website, before Trump and his policies. Within two years southern border crossing doubled to 977,000 in 2019, a 20 year high. 2020 only saw a reduction due to covid and was back to a 20 year monthly high by October 2020 and has increased ever since with Title 42 and remain in Mexico still in place. Trumps zero tolerance policy to criminalize all border crossing between check points violated US immigration law and international treaty. A federal court struck that policy down on it's use on asylum seekers. East Bat Sanctuary vs Trump. That is why there was a law suit with a settlement for "$450k" to "illegals", the Right lied about that and continues. Trumps remain in Mexico policy also violates US code 1158 and will go before SCOTUS next month. Trump caused the very problems the Right was trying to avoid, when he unilaterally departed from laws that were working and placed policies that caused the problem's we are seeing now.
