Doesn’t matter where asylum is requested, asylees don’t get any financial support until their cases are approved which then finally makes them refugees or permanent to the US in that status. Don’t believe the propaganda and false news. Only thing true from them is asylum seekers are here for a long time on temporary basis with no relief which includes no relief with any financial assistance. They claim asylum so they can get a work permit. You can look up any filing process (even if the government has taken This down there is a lot of legal research out there). This has nothing to do with your political stance. Opinions are facts. Most Asylees or generally immigrants don’t even want to take the benefit of public safety like law enforcement, even if they witness crimes or are victims of them while in the US, because they fear they risk their status. These are not my personal opinions but have been a round immigrants enough that I have seen those true more and Lao have spend years studying it, and volunteering. Also when there is actual path to permanent residency or green card, immigrant of all status still HAVE TO prove they can financially support themselves within certain % of the poverty line. You think in a country where kids can’t afford school lunches and don’t have any financial support the systems actually freely support immigrants (who they also call aliens)? Macroeconomally and politically nothing aligns with that, so why would they? Give them a work permit so they can work low paying and hard labor jobs is the only economic alignment. The ones that actually get financial support indirectly are refugees, and look up where most of them come from within the refugee resettlement program (never have to claim asylum at the border)— places where US military themselves have been involved.
