This is crazy talk. No countries are waiting until they see a <i>prima facie</i> case of harassment and then saying, &quot;We&#x27;ve seen the facts and we&#x27;re giving asylum!&quot; Every country that could conceivably do that has weighed the damage to their relationship to the US and stayed well away.<p>I don&#x27;t even think that the collection of Latin America would-be asylum-givers are very serious. In the most likely case, they are just grandstanding for their own reasons.
