You are missing something. There's no proper analogy that can be drawn between these people and illegal immigrants. Your hypothetical actually has nothing to do with this situation, and for the record, I would have been opposed to them coming here illegally, too.
The laws of asylum aren't more or less "sacrosanct" than immigration laws. I largely agree with the asylum setup within our current framework- I don't agree with our immigration laws. Accepting one does not necessitate accepting the other, so there is no inconsistency there.
yeah that's fine, so for the record you are outraged or derisive of a german couple applying for asylum but you approve of giving green cards to 11 million people that lied to government officials, lied on government forms, committed identity theft, stole jobs from americans, pushed down wages and skipped ahead of people that went through things properly
thanks for clearing that up
