Look up the rates of successful asylum and refugee applications.

In the US, which takes in far more refugees and asylum seekers, it’s around half a percentage point of all legal immigration attempts succeed.

That’s very interesting, can you point me to any sources showing that 99.5% of all asylum seekers and refugees are deported every single year? Or do they instead just transition into the illegal immigrant category and we just kinda collectively shrug our shoulders and go “well what can ya do.”

Because I see that we have a lot of people coming in from Mexico claiming asylum for uh, whatever war is going on there, getting released into the country, and just never showing up for their court hearings: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/nearly-600000-m...
