Many from third world countries under dictatorship ( especially Burma/Myanmar) come to the US with student or visit visas. When their visas expired, they deliberately participate in their own country's democracy events in the US. They take photos of themselves and apply asylum.They are neither exiles nor pro-democracy activists. But, they got it. Old man and ladies who knows nothing about their own country's politics get asylum through the effort of immigration lawyers. Some guys came with immigrant visa through marriage, then they divorced and took part in the events, apply asylum and get it. As far as I know, it is a federal crime. Are immigration officers so incompetent to differentiate between real and fake ones? To become a political asylum and live in the US is that cheap and easy? It's is really happening in California. But, I know, in other states, it's also like that.

I hear what you're saying; but what you're asking simply cannot be done given the staggering caseloads and the limited manpower.
