The Asylum Game Is Rigged—and This Poor Bastard Is Just Another Pawn

by Dan McCall

Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I don’t know the guy. I don’t need to. Because this case was never about him—it was about the machine. The well-lubricated, smoke-belching, rights-mangling machine that uses people like parts.

What we’ve got here is another immigrant chewed up by a system that was built to fail—intentionally, cynically, and with profit on the back end for every grifter in a suit pretending to care. AP and the bleeding-heart brigade want you to cry for the deportee. But don’t miss the real villains here: the NGOs, the courts, the cartels (both literal and legal), and the slimy corporate-political tag team that engineered the chaos in the first place.

Abrego Garcia was deported despite a court order to stay. Now he’s rotting in a Salvadoran mega-prison. That’s not justice—it’s a bureaucratic drive-by. But let’s not pretend this was some rare accident. This was the system working exactly as designed: offer fake protections, dangle half-legal status like bait, then yank the rug whenever it’s politically convenient.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: the U.S. refugee system has been broken for a decade—and not in the way the media whines about. It’s broken because it no longer follows the law. Asylum was never meant to be a free pass for anyone fleeing a dangerous neighborhood. That’s not persecution. That’s life in the third world.

We’ve turned gang violence into an all-access pass to the American welfare state. But there is no right to residency just because your country sucks. If that’s the bar, open the gates for half the planet. Sorry—but too fucking bad. It's your country. Fix it. We’re not the global janitor for every failed nation-state.

The immigration courts know this. The politicians know this. Hell, the asylum applicants know this. That’s why they’re coached to say the right words: "credible fear," "social group," "targeted by gangs." It's theater. A bad one.

Meanwhile, the real beneficiaries are the non-profits pocketing federal contracts, the corporations lining up a new class of low-wage labor, and the politicians lapping up votes and campaign cash. The migrants? They’re cannon fodder. Political props. Useful victims in a rigged morality play written by elites who wouldn’t share a sidewalk with them, much less a neighborhood.

And when the system inevitably screws up—when it throws someone into a Salvadoran gulag or dumps a family in legal limbo for a decade—everyone gasps like it’s some shocking breach of protocol. Bullshit. This is the protocol. Confuse. Delay. Pretend. Deport. Repeat.

So no, I’m not mad at Abrego Garcia. He played the game that was laid out for him. Any rational person in his shoes would have. The outrage isn’t that he tried—it’s that he was lured in by a crooked system designed by people who have zero skin in the game. They don’t suffer. They don’t bleed. They don’t get deported. They just cash checks and moralize from behind gates.

This story isn’t about a deportation. It’s about an empire of exploitation—an elite-run asylum scam where suffering is currency, truth is optional, and every poor bastard at the bottom is disposable.

Burn it down and start over. Until then, don't you dare call this justice.
