Why not both? Why not fund the wall, to stop criminals and illegal crossings, in exchange for funding to go through the massive backlog of asylum requests?

Your suggestion reeks of common sense. Will never be implemented. (Unfortunately)

We have a lawful system for seeking asylum. Trying to sneak across the border isn't part of it
-
Actually, that is allowed as long as they present themselves within a year. Turns out asylum seekers aren't legally required to go through a checkpoint (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
-
If not obvious to you, imagine a simple case where someone seeking asylum from the Mexican government is forced to get through a checkpoint being monitored by the Mexican government. Makes no sense.
-
You are conflating 2 different things. Aliens may apply for asylum, even if in US illegally. That, however, does not give them license to cross border illegally. They must go to port of entry
-
So what's the recourse for asylum seekers when the border is closed? That's not how the law works. First illegal entry offense is a misdemeanor anyway, should they just wait in potentially unsafe areas for the US to meet its obligation?
-
"it's OK to apply for asylum if you're here illegally but it's not OK to get here illegally" is a pretty dumb take imo.
-
Not really. Alien enters US legally with visa then applies for asylum. Visa expires but asylum still pending
-
So you're gonna stick with "Mexican resident forced to queue up at monitored checkpoint every day to escape government trying to kill them", then?

We also need a border. What? We have one already! To which I reply ... Really? Where? I don’t see one. .... Neither do the illegal aliens.
