What to know about the U.S. asylum system

In the week since President Biden took executive action to restrict the asylum system, the ACLU filed a lawsuit charging that the administration broke asylum law. To put both moves into perspective, CBS News immigration and politics reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez looks at the numbers behind the system.

With immigration being a national crisis I’m surprised this issue isn’t a forefront

If they enforced the laws on books we wouldn't have all these breaking in.

It's a very broken system. Waiting for four year must be very hard to be living in a country and not working is much depressing. It is very important to go through process and apply for a working visa.

Congress is responsible for creating the laws in our country. They try to blame Biden, but Republicans had the opportunity to pass the bipartisan immigration bill which would have been a comprehensive immigration bill. The executive branch is the implementation branch, it is not supposed to create the laws, it is supposed to create the rules by which we implement the law created in Congress. By forcing the executive branch, aka the president, to use executive order, they have transferred their job duty and responsibilities into a different branch of government altogether. This is their way of saying we want to blame the executive while getting paid and not doing our job. This is Congress' job. Blame republicans and congress for this failure. An executive is only a temporary measure and Biden has been asking congress to pass reform. Hold your legislative representatives accountable.

The drug cartels are responsible for this "taking advantage" of the asylum system. They tell migrants this is how you get legally into America. On the other hand, I support helping families flee poverty & violence as long as they work, pay taxes & stay out of trouble. We desperately NEED young workers to pay into the Social Security system.

Republicans trumps fault
