1:15Now PlayingA caravan of migrants is making its way toward the U.S. southern border. Our problem right now is not finding and stopping those who cross the border illegally, the real problem is our weak asylum system and the loopholes that prevent proper enforcement of U.S. laws. Being a victim of crime does not mean that you get asylum in the U.S. You have to be persecuted based on race, religion, political opinion, or membership in a social group. And unfortunately, that’s not true in most of these asylum cases. As of August 2018, the immigration court system had 764,561 cases to complete, the highest figures for any given year on record. Border security is only as good as the enforcement that backs it up. The U.S. needs Congress to fix broken immigration laws now.
