"An Asylum Merits Interview with USCIS after a positive credible fear determination, meaning you were placed in expedited removal proceedings, you received a positive credible fear determination, and USCIS retained your asylum application for further consideration in an Asylum Merits Interview; or"
Kill this and the asylum courts will run like clockwork. People living in the USA have "positive credible fear" just walking down their own streets. I don't care that the gang in Venezuela is interested in you. You're going to have to go home and figure that out. Just like all of us here already have to do.
Asylum is for people who are reasonably afraid that their government will capture and torture them for extra judicial reasons. No one who literally fucking WALKED across the border is in this category.
We need "documented governmental fear." If you don't have that, your hearing is going to be 1 minute long, will be judged with prejudice (no appeals), and you will be taken into custody for deportation immediately.
What’s your take when there are active, coordinated murder attempts aimed specifically at them for attempting to be a witness to a crime, in a temporary case where they came in though the system, pay us for the stay, and have strong incentive to go home?
That seems like a fair use of the system that could be in our long term interest, potentially even to someone who’s sick of being invaded.
Are you suggesting the USA needs to vouchsafe broken judicial systems the world over by offering asylum to everyone who happened to be near a crime?
Why not just run a foreign witness protection branch? Is it because the country is so corrupt it can't work? So how are they ever going to return home then? Is it because the USA can't actually offer safety to anyone in country? Then what is ONE low level fucking court case going to do?
If you don't solve these problems at the source they will never go away and people will then have an incentive to abuse them. These countries suck. Sorry about that. They have to fix that the same way we did. We literally printed the recipe and they can't get their shit together.
Which is unfair because the CIA fucks these countries harder than anything, but again, shouldn't we solve THIS problem rather than the "dipshit witness" problem first?

Not at all, I was trying hard to suggest nothing and simply ask your opinion of it, but I was also asking within the confines of the abused system we currently have. Nothing was intended to suggest it’s a good process.

That could be a good idea, actually.

Yep. Hence my being open to potentially something, while simultaneously hating being crowded out of my own country and ruled by foreigners. We did allow and help fund that corruption, though. It’s not absurd that some portion of the responsibility should fall on our heads. “Handle it there” does seem like a better approach than what we have.
Long story short, just wasn’t sure what to make of that situation.

It's a rigged system. Unrig it, Steven.

Don't be a witness. Seriously.
