A new ruling by an immigration judge has set what may be a dangerous, fundamentally transformational precedent for our country. One activist judge has decided to redefine what a refugee is under the law and may have literally flung the rotting, free swinging door to our nation off of its hinges in doing so.
Steven Camarota, Director of the Center for Immigration Studies is Neil Cavuto’s guest for a discussion of the impact. He says it could lead to “tens or hundreds of millions of people” applying for and being granted asylum in the United States.

Camarota said “Asylum was supposed to be for people who faced persecution because of their race or religion, generally from the government. This is completely different; this is a general social chaos. A particular society, in this case Guatemala, doesn’t take domestic violence seriously enough to go after the abuser so the woman gets asylum in the United States. That’s a complete distortion of asylum.”
He continues, “And remember, as you suggested, it’s entirely based on hearsay. It doesn’t really require much proof.” Camarota says, “All she has to do is say I was abused and I can’t get away from my husband if I stay in Guatemala, therefore let me stay here. And that‘s enough evidence if she seems credible. Because remember, it doesn’t require direct evidence, cause it’s not there, it’s just hearsay.”
Cavuto reminds us that “this expands the definition of asylum to include personal matters at home, that go beyond just whether the government is targeting you, etc.”
Camarota labels this ruling a “gross distortion of what immigration judges are supposed to do” that will potentially encourage a lot more people to come in illegally.
Neil also asks Camarota to comment on the executive amnesty threat, which he says is illegal, will likely be damaging in the Senate races, and is something that regardless of those negatives, it seems Obama is intent on doing anyway.
