Hmmm.. This mess needs to be fixed.

3. Define exactly what constitutes "asylum". I don't think spouse abuse or stuff US citizens go through should qualify. After all, man, charity begins at home. Fix those problems here first before going on some global crusade to fix the world's problems.
While I agree that there are limits to asylum, we need to be careful about what is and isn't legitimate. If you are a woman living in hyper macho-land, institutional indifference to your welfare is a legitimate reason to flee. If the government sides with your oppressor, simply because you lack a penis, that government becomes the problem too.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
