          Declaring asylum seekers to be criminals without hearing their asylum claim is a contributing factor to my characterizing Trump’s separation policy as crime against humanity.

            I didn’t see anything in your source that indicates asylum seekers were deemed criminals without hearing their asylum claim.

            Illegally immigrating is a crime, regardless if they claim asylum after they get caught.

              One of the components of a crime against humanity is that it is part of an official domestic law or policy, or carried out by officials in their official capacity.

                So to you, having a secure border is a crime against humanity?

                  Border security is the ends; I’m talking about the means.

              Requesting asylum isn’t a crime, you should read up on border laws if you’re going to be so cheeky and abrasive and wrong.

                I didnt say requesting asylum was a crime. I said illegally immigrating was.
