    The right to asylum was put into the constitution because many victims of the holocaust where denied entry to other counties before getting rounded up and killed.

    If a stranger is running down the street, chased by a guy with a blood soaked knife, would you let them in?

    Edit: spelling

        …which is why there is a due process that applies to all asylum seekers.

        Duh.
