Bill Barr on 'Kilmeade Show': Asylum laws were not meant to be 'world tour ticket’

Former Attorney General Bill Barr told "The Brian Kilmeade Show" on
Thursday that asylum laws were not meant to be a "world tour ticket" as
the border crisis worsens. Barr said U.S. asylum laws are being
"abused" as the Biden administration is being warned of a new surge of
migrants in upcoming months.

BILL BARR: What President Trump did was … he was enforcing the asylum
laws. People could come and claim asylum and it would be processed
before they were allowed to come to the United States. The asylum laws
were not meant to be a sort of world tour ticket where you could sort
of walk around the world and decide what country you want to end up
with.

The basis of asylum laws was if you were being persecuted and can prove
it, you're allowed to run into the next country to get sanctuary, first
one you come to. Essentially, that country will take you and they have
an obligation to take you if you can show you're persecuted. What's
actually been happening is all these economic refugees – most of the
world lives under our poverty level and would make money being on
welfare here, they'd be better off. And they come in and they're
coached to say things like 'I'm persecuted' and so forth, and then we
release them into the United States and we never get them again. It's a
huge loophole. It's been abused and they know what they're doing.

Didn't see it. Once again, likely about 20% who claim they are political
refugees should succeed, but all who make the claim should get their day
in court. And, we should close that loophole by partnering adjudicating
the cases more quickly and partnering with charities to house the
applicants.

The people coming from South and Central America should seek asylum in
Mexico. Mexico can't be that bad, Americans vacation there.

The problem is that all the asylum seekers have one destination in mind
when they start out. The United States, land of welfare.

I'm OK with people staying in Mexico if and only if conditions are good.
As of now, they aren't (your joke about vacationers is pathetic).
