Uh, that's exactly what seeking asylum means. They met with an American official at the border and made a case to ask for protection via entry to the United States. As you J6rs like to say, "they just let them right in!"

---

No it’s not you fricking idiot. You come to the US with no papers, visas, residency, work permit, etc because you’re facing persecution in your home country. At that point within a year of entering the country you have to apply for formal asylum.

Quite literally the entire point of asylum is you can come here quickly and not have to go through any of the formal administrative bullshite in regards to immigration because you don’t have time.

Are you uneducated on the topic or just a liar to push your political objective?

So Trump is pressuring countries with poor record keeping and ties to terrorism to get their shite together

Interesting

Definitely sucks for the people who thought they were gonna be citizens though

I think the point is this is an extremely easy thing to fix that they seem to have no interest in doing for some reason

the point is some, even though illegally here, have become us citizens. My point is also how do you know without a doubt all were here legally and none have done anything that could have had their visas or green cards cancelled. Just bc they were almost finishing the naturalization process doesn't mean they did everything legally...which is what you are assuming.

1. As far as I’m aware there is no “visa or green card” when it comes to naturalization. You have to be a permanent resident, meaning green card holder.

2. USCIS confirmed that they’ve paused all applications for people from the countries on the administration’s list of “high risk” countries. If everyone from those countries have had their applications suspended, I think it’s safe to assume that at minimum, the vast majority who were at the end of the process did everything legally. More likely all of them did everything legally. Otherwise, you’d have to be assuming that a significant number made it all the way to naturalization with bogus paperwork.. which would be crazy.

I would say it more than sucks now that they’re in a no man’s land of unable to complete the legal process they’ve invested money and years in as a functional adult in this country.

They could’ve easily stopped new applications from those countries while processing who is already in the naturalization process (and even flag them for more extensive vetting).

But then that would make too much fricking sense.

Follow the delivery truck and make a record of the stops.

Then do visits to those locations later to check visa status.

at what step should people not be able to be declined citizenship? 4th step? 3rd?

---

You can be declined at anytime during naturalization if you fail to pass a step. Such as the citizenship test, the background check, the interview.

Again, we’re talking about folks that passed all of those. They were literally at the swearing in step.

ETA: I do think if they’re validly completing the steps in the process, they shouldn’t have their application stopped because of a retroactive ban on their country.

That's not what we, as voters, were sold. We were told they're going after those with criminal records.

---

I mean that's what they been doing first and foremost. Whatever you have heard otherwise isn't always true. I have a good friend that works for ICE and he told me every day they are only assigned certain illegel criminals to go after. Any other illegal that gets arrested during these raids are just crossfire and in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyways we were always sold that they would be going after all illegals but the criminals would be priority and that is what's been happening. Anything different you hear is leftist propaganda.

Most of them sought asylum which means they got to the border and met with American officials.

Why can’t they take asylum in Mexico? Why does it have to be here? Isn’t international law written au ch that asylum seekers have to migrate to the closest country not in a state of war or unrest?
