washington post is a loser in the credibility war - but thanks for posting, next time try a fact based source.

(the irony of you citing the adminstration's sources in your post in not lost...why you agree with them with your argument but disagree with them otherwise?).

You don’t understand irony or credibility. The Post article cites a government report. Do you have any evidence that it is misciting the report? If not, the Post’s “credibility” is irrelevant. Also, the fact that the report runs counter to the administration’s bias against immigrants is an indication of trustworthiness.

Two of your links were just to index pages, neither of which had a category for reports on fraud.

Exactly. I clicked on both and they were to nothing specific or related to his assertion, and subs has a history of pulling this stunt. Just throw out hyperlinks to give the impression his lies have support somewhere credible.

Her immigration being from a US Commonwealth only required medical screening for admission and she passed.

That was easy. Do you believe that immigration from Puerto Rico today should remain so straightforward?

Trying to become an American citizen from another country legally is extremely difficult unless you have money. That's just a fact. Trump even said it himself that he wants more people from Norway instead of "shithole countries." That's just his backdoor way of saying he wants more white people, but the point still stands.

I have a LOT of experience, first and second hand, with people trying to come to the United States from Brazil and at the end of the day it all boils down to how much money you have. And this isn't for citizenship, I'm talking about qualifying for a tourist visa.

We have been trying to get a visa for one woman for more than a decade. She was like a second mother to my two oldest kids. She helped take care of them while my wife and I ran the business. But she cannot come to the United States because she doesn't qualify for a Visa. Everyone else in the house qualifies and freely travels back and forth, but she has to stay back home. Why? Because she's a maid. The embassy said she would need to prove she had at least R$10,000 sitting in a Brazilian bank account before they'd ever consider letting a maid come on a tourist visa.

Because rich people can come legally and they can afford to pay for all the processing fees involved to obtain citizenship. Incidentally, I spent roughly $7,000 in application fees for my wife for a process that took about three years.

Those seeking asylum and those who piggy back on the asylum "family" clause:

Expedited Removal occurs for those who illegally attempted to gain asylum by fraud or misrepresentation, or with no entry documents, or by using counterfeit, altered, or otherwise fraudulent or improper documents. (this occurs at the border and comprises about 35% of removals)

Administrative Reason for Removal occurs for those who attemptedto gain asylum by fraud or misrepresentation, or with no entry documents, or by using counterfeit, altered, or otherwise fraudulent or improper documents. (this occurs in court and comprises about 36% of removals)

Sub, CFR for this specific information, both the descriptions and the percentages.
