    taking his anger out on me for having an opinion

    You did a lot more than “have an opinion”, you spewed xenophobic ignorance and can’t handle being corrected on the many, many ways that you are wrong. Don’t stoop to the right wing “my right to an opinion” bullshit. Your opinion is hateful and ignorant, and nobody owes you any respect for holding it.

    I happen to know quite a bit about asylum seeking.

    You very clearly do not. Allow me to illustrate that for you.

    I have sought asylum in Ireland in the past. Doing so required a passport.

    No, it did not. Source: https://www.rte.ie/news/primetime/2024/0112/1426087-most-dublin-airport-asylum-applicants-arrived-without-a-passport/

    Relevant quote from source article: “Ireland’s legal obligation to process asylum applications includes those made by people who arrive with no passport.”

    It also requires being fingerprinted because you ARE technically breaking the law.

    Seeking asylum is not a crime.

    Source (IE): https://www.youth.ie/articles/asylum-seekers-refugees-migrants-understanding-immigration-systems/

    Relevant quote from source article (IE): “In Ireland, the asylum process is a legal system which decides who qualifies as a refugee and who is then entitled to remain in Ireland and under its protection.”

    Source (USA): https://www.rescue.org/article/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum

    Relevant quote from source article (USA): “Yes, seeking asylum is legal. Asylum seekers must be in the U.S. or at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to request the opportunity to apply for asylum.”

    When Americans are upset over UNDOCUMENTED migrants, they are referring to people who are crossing the border illegally, without a passport. Entering the United States as a non-citizen, without a passport IS a crime.

    No. See previous two rebuttals.

    how are you going to handle a group of migrants who can’t write the English language.

    Ah, there’s the racism I’ve been expecting. I knew it was in you somewhere, just waiting to ooze out.
