Why has entry of immigrants seeking asylum shot up? Some are legitimate claimants. But see this site for example of "online asylum coaching": rescue.org/article/it-leg… Groups like International Rescue Committee is perhaps the most reputable, legitimate defenders of real refugees. 1
It is led by @DMiliband, an internationally respected human rights advocate. But this online information clearly can be used to lure naive people into believing they have legitimate claims of asylum that do no. Cartels and coyotes monetize that desperation. 2
It ought to be the obligation of anyone providing legitimate help to the people who are seeking asylum do so with disclaimers and with urging that people apply for legal entry where their case is not one designed for the asylum law but where the motivation is economic, 3
To be clear: @DMiliband and @theIRC are among the very five star rated charities in the world doing this work. He would be welcome as a guest anytuime and can DM me to set that up anytime. But he and IRC would do a world of good to advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.4
