I disagree with your first two points, but there isn't really much there to argue. As for the third point, which asylum policy are you talking about? The current one of this proposal? Further, what do you mean when you say "the asylum police should then be dropped". I assume that was supposed to say "policy" but it still needs to be explained further.

I was referring to the policy that was put in place earlier this week about having to seek asylum in another country before you can do so in the United States.

Ah, okay.

I vehemently disagree with you on that one. Approval of asylum claims should be determined based upon their merit. Turning individuals away for reasons such as this abandons our responsibility as a country and likely violates both international and domestic law. At the end of the day, if an individual has a valid asylum claim and we reject them, we are putting these individuals in danger and preventing that should be priority number one with this subject.
