Quote:I know people in law enforcement. Guys I worked with in the service got jobs with Border Patrol and EPIC. According to them -it used to be - the pretty standard reply to the question " why are you coming to the US" (asked of border jumpers by Border Patrol investigators) the most common answer was " to find work". Generally that was considered an honest answer - and border agents tended to believe it -- but unfortunately it was the wrong answer - and got the guy deported.He asked for evidence not story time with your imaginary experts and the evil clever migrant hordes coming to steal the jobs and "game " the system .
These people are ANYTHING but stupid. They learn fast. Word got around quickly - that if they answered " Asylum" - it gave them a fighting chance... If nothing else - they kept them from being stuck on the next bus south.
It also used to be mostly single males.
Then they found out that.women - and especially women with kids - rarely got immediate deportation.
Guess what? The single male is no longer the majority getting caught.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
