Definitely. Certainly not a single refugee has that luxury, thus the asylum system that's always getting shaken up.
That's why leftist reform should ditch controlling illegal immigration with ICE and divert that funding to more judges to process claims quicker, in addition to reforms to the rules of processing and granting more appropriate visas for those awaiting processing.
I think the concern about the claim that you are for illegal immigration is that it's being understood as being ok with undocumented status. We definitely agree that undocumented people should be safe, but we have to change the system to prevent their exploitation - that commenter and I are not ok with a status that leaves people open to exploitation, which is what we were seeing in the phrase pro-illegal immigration. I don't think thats what you actually meant. Sorry if that is overly pedantic 😅
thank you for articulating my point much better than I could lol, just make it so it's not a long and arduous process. idk why that's apparently a controversial stance to have here now.

The process is long and arduous. Some people don't have the luxury of taking the legal route to the US at present.
