Cool, so, break international law and be extremely anti-humanitarian. Great country I get to live in. Not demoralizing at all.

Yeah, my only consolation is the fact that we broke international law when it came to asylum seekers for all of the last presidential administration but it's been hard to get many people to care because Dems don't like to speak bad about one of their own and Republicans are all just assholes who want asylees to suffer. Now that a Republican is the one doing it again maybe hopefully Dems will find their consciences again.
Important to note that
The Biden administration enacted its own asylum restriction last June, also citing the 212(f) authorities. While that order disqualified most migrants crossing the southern border illegally from asylum, it still gave them the opportunity to plead their case before asylum officers if they expressed fear of being harmed once deported.
Asylum officers that have been caught being racist and abusing migrants so many times I don't even know what to link to, so here's a catchall page from the ACLU (archived), but go on.
Former President Joe Biden's asylum restrictions also had a major exemption: they did not apply to migrants waiting in Mexico who used a government smartphone app, known as CBP One, to request a time to enter the U.S. at an official border entry point.
An app that never worked right (archived) that allowed you to apply for an appointment CBP might never give you (archived).
Trump is going to be awful for migrants in a ton of ways (for example, doing ICE raids on churches schools and hospitals is new and awful), but at least as far as people seeking asylum go it will be hard for him to be any worse than Biden was.
I 100% guarantee you it will be unequivocally worse. I completely agree that the Biden administration botched immigration, but to act like it’s not going to be much worse is fucking insane.
We're literally 2 days in and it's already worse. It's not like it's going to plateau here.
Biden says he will do good and then does bad.
Trump says he will do awful and then does bad.
How dare you. It's post inauguration, which means we're already a few days into rewriting Biden's legacy.
