Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi expressed his views on the current immigration situation, emphasizing the need for order at the border and acknowledging the flaws in the existing system. Suozzi highlighted the historical significance of asylum in America, dating back to the 1980s when it was intended to aid those fleeing political persecution or torture.
However, Suozzi pointed out that the system is now being exploited, with a significant increase in the number of individuals seeking asylum for economic reasons rather than genuine threats. He noted that the outdated immigration laws have not been revised for over 30 years, leading to a surge in asylum seekers.
