Many walked across the border and asked for asylum, which is LEGAL.
The majority of asylum claims are denied.
Millions of people currently in the U.S. are here because they asked for asylum and we haven't even had time to schedule them to go before a judge.
More funding for asylum judges would solve this problem.

Guess what the GOP has systemically attacked, defunded, and increased backlogs on?
Asylum judges and immigration courts.

It could be because the asylum claims were just a lie?

The asylum system was grossly abused to allow more illegals in (with the pretend legitimacy of an asylum claim)
This is terrible for actual asylum seekers because the new restrictions on asylum claims caused by the abuses will be tighter than they would have been
The migrants are not at fault...they were practically invited in. The real culprits are the ones that intentionally opened the border. They are demons
