Lies which they continue to use to justify their Zero Humanity policies, implemented for the “entrapment” and imprisoning of America-loving Asylum Seekers ...
It’s legal to seek asylum at an official border crossing. But border agents are blocking people from getting that far.
The Trump administration justifies its “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting everyone who crosses into the US illegally — including asylum-seeking parents who are separated from their children by being placed in criminal jails — by saying that people who want asylum should seek it the “right way”: by presenting themselves at an official port of entry into the US (like an official road checkpoint at the US-Mexico border) rather than coming into the country illegally between checkpoints.
But some immigrants who try to seek asylum the “right way” are being turned away and told there’s no room for them now. And there’s evidence that border agents are physically blocking some asylum seekers from setting foot on US soil — in other words, from triggering a legal right to claim asylum in the US — to begin with.

The government says it’s trying to manage the flow of asylum seekers. Advocates see systematic denials.
Reports of Customs and Border Protection officials turning away asylum seekers at ports of entry have been floating around for a while. In July 2017, advocacy groups filed a lawsuit alleging that the federal government was engaged in the “unlawful practice” of turning away asylum seekers trying to come through the right way. The examples they gathered dated back to 2014, but the 28 individual asylum seekers who provided sworn testimony in the suit were turned back in fall 2016 and spring 2017 — most of them after the election of President Trump.
Some of the accounts in the lawsuit involve CBP officers appearing to lie to asylum seekers to keep them from coming in. The American Immigration Council, one of the advocacy groups filing the suit, wrote that asylum-seekers across three different states “reported being told that the U.S. government was no longer granting asylum altogether, or to people from specific countries.” And in some cases, they were even threatened with family separation as a result of pursuing their claims the right way: ”CBP officers in California and Texas threatened to separate parents from their children if they persisted in their attempts to seek asylum and did not leave the port of entry.”

Well at least advocate groups with their well-sourced lawsuit, are calling out the Trump cabal for their illegal practices with respect to Asylum Seekers.
Tormented and threatened People who have every right to seek Asylum in America; something that America once acknowledged as a basic Human Right, that this country once respected by encoding it into Law, once honored, dare I say once cherished … as a symbol of the best of American ideals:
The United States recognizes the right of asylum for individuals as specified by international and federal law. [...]
The United States is obliged to recognize valid claims for asylum under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. [...]
This commitment was codified and expanded with the passing of the Refugee Act of 1980 by the United States Congress. Besides reiterating the definitions of the 1951 Convention and its Protocol, the Refugee Act provided for the establishment of an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help refugees begin their lives in the U.S. The structure and procedures evolved and by 2004, federal handling of refugee affairs was led by the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) of the U.S. Department of State, working with the ORR at HHS. Asylum claims are mainly the responsibility of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Every right in the world to seek the promise of America, as most of Americans’ own ancestors had once also sought … and received.
But no longer. They are being systematically turned away at America’s doorstep, at America’s Ports of Entry; being forced by a “trump rigged system” to cross the border elsewhere, in their desperation to plead their case.
These Zero Humanity trump policies, are proving themselves to have Zero Respect for long-established Human Rights Laws too ... America’s Laws.

Besides, a recent wide-spread study shows that Asylum Seekers are a “boon to a society” — not a “bane” or a “burden” to society — as is often claimed, by the promoters of such Catch-22 lies …
by the builders of the “rigged systems” of American-entrapment:
NEW YORK, June 20 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Asylum seekers moving to Europe have raised their adopted nations’ economic output, lowered unemployment and not placed a burden on public finances, scientists said on Wednesday.
An analysis of economic and migration data for the last three decades found asylum seekers added to gross domestic products and boosted net tax revenues by as much as 1 percent, said a study published in Science Advances by French economists.
[...]
“The cliché that international migration is associated with economic ‘burden’ can be dispelled,” wrote the scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research, the University of Clermont-Auvergne and Paris-Nanterre University.
The research analyzed data from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

When Asylum seekers add to a nation’s productivity and tax-base, and are willing to do the Jobs that most American shun —
Why would any compassionate, freedom-loving nation, believe the Catch-22 Lies that were fabricated — to quietly and systematically turn away fellow freedom-seekers?
Cursing them to simply inherit the cruel whirlwind … from whence they had just escaped.
