256. Political asylum is meant as a mechanism for people

who are the target of political persecution. Now I suppose you could argue that at some point economics and politics are one and the same. But it is not intended as a mechanism by which people at economic disadvantage can immigrate.

Borders exist--like it or not, and there are laws concerning citizenship and travel over borders in ALL nations, like it or not.

Either we enforce the laws we have or we change them.
