The liberal media's support for the lawlessness of the migrant caravan working through Central America to the U.S. border is justifying the abuse of well-intentioned asylum laws and exploiting it for political purposes, according to former Immigration and Naturalization Services special agent Michael Cutler.
"The media is mischaracterizing it as a caravan of migrants, immigrants, and refugees – it's a caravan of aspiring illegal aliens," Cutler told "The Brett Winterble Show" on Newsmax TV on Tuesday.
"The United States has the most generous immigration system in the world. We admit more than a million lawful immigrants every year; we grant political asylum to thousands of people; we admit tens of millions temporary visitors. It's not as though we are not letting people into America.
"But there needs to be an orderly process so that aliens entering America – remember, people who are not citizens, aliens that is to say – do not have an inherent right to be here."

Cutler, a Jewish American whose family was decimated in the Holocaust, said "look, I am a big fan of political asylum," but this approaching caravan seeks to abuse of the policy so many others in the world truly need.
"Coming to America because there's poverty in your country or coming to America because there's violence in your country are not valid reasons for filing for political asylum," he added to Winterble. "So, this seems to have been lost in the shuffle. . . .
"These folks should not be entitled to asylum."
