Given President Trumps mean spirit and often bigoted attitudes on immigration, it pains me to say this, he is right. Democrats might hope that the out of control situation at the southern border undermines trumps image among his base as a tough guy who can tackle immigration. But they should be careful. It could actually work to the president s advantage. Since 2014, the flow of Asylum Seekers town the United States has skyrocketed. Last year, immigration courts received 162,000 asylum claims. A 240 increase from 2014. The result is a staggering backlog with more than 300,000 asylum cases pending and the average immigration case has been pending for more than 700 days. Its also clear that the rules surrounding asylum are vague, lax and being gamed. The initial step for many Asylum Seekers is to convince officers that they have a credible fear of persecution in their home countries. And about 75 meet that criteria. Some applicants for asylum have suspicious list similar stories using identical phrases. Many simply use the system to enter the u. S. And then melt into the shadows or gain a work permit while their application is pending. Asylum is meant to be granted to a very small number of people in extreme circumstances. Not as a substitute for the process of immigration itself. Yet, the two have gotten mixed up. As the atlantics david fromm has pointed out, the idea of a right to asylum is a recent one dating to the early years of the cold war. Guilt ridden over the rejection of many jewish refugees during world war ii the u. N. Created a right of asylum to protect those who are fleeing regimes where they would be killed our imprisoned because of their identity or beliefs. This standard has gotten broader and broader over the years. And now includes threats of gang warfare and domestic violence. These looser criteria coupled with the reality this is a safe way to enter the u. S. Have made the asylum system easy to abuse. Applications from hon durans, guatemalans have surged even though the murder rate has been cut in half. More broadly, hundreds of millions of people around the world who live in poor, unstable regions where threats of violence abound could easily apply for asylum. Do they all have the legal right to enter the u. S. Through a back door . Bypassing the normal immigration process. The Trump Administrations approach has been mostly to toughen up the criteria. Hire more judges, push mexican to keep applicants from enerring the u. S. But the criteria for asylum need to be rewritten and substantially tightened. The number of courts and officials dealing with asylum must be massively expanded. People should not be able to use asylum claims as a what toy work in america. There needs to be a much greater cooperation with the home countries of the applicants rather than insults, threats and aid freezes. No one fix will do it, but we need the kind of sensible Bipartisan Legislation that has resolved past immigration crises. Democrats have spent most of their efforts on this topic, assailing the Trump Administration for the heartlessness. Fine. But that does not address the roots of this genuine crisis. If things continue to spiral downward and the southern border seems out of control, trumps tough rhetoric will become increasingly attractive to the public. Keep in mind, that the rise of populism in the western world is tied to fears of growing out of control immigration. For more, go to cnn. Com fareed and read my Washington Post column this week. And lets get started. Just hours ago, donald trump became the first sitting american president ever to set foot in north korea. It all happened at a meeting with kim jongun that started in the most trumpian way with a tweet. The president tweeted earlier this week about his planned trip to south korea. While there, if chairman kim of north korea sees this, i would meet him at the border dmz just to shake his hand and say hello. During the meeting, trump says that the two agreed to restart nuclear talks. What to make of all of this . Joining me now, tom friedman, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for the New York Times and thank you for being late, an optimist guide to thriving in the age of expectations. And sam vinograd is now the National Security analyst. Sam, what do you make of where we were after this historic photoop . Well, north korea is certainly acting like a normalized Nuclear Power. We think back to when Obama Left Office and north korea their Nuclear Program was a focus of sanctions and the focus of a lot of attention with respect to denuclearization and trying to get them to give up the weapons. By taking 20 small steps into north korea, President Trump really took a giant leap backward when it comes to a nonproliferation agenda. He has solidified north korea as a normalized nuclear state. And he has moved the goalpost on the goal that he set for north korea which was denuclearization. We are at a point now where in the short term, security is better. Missiles arent flying and Nuclear Tests arent happening. But when north korea takes a step back and thinks about whether it has to denuclearize it doesnt feel like he is being asked to do so. Hes been invited to the white house and the best we can hope for is a freeze in north koreas Nuclear Program while potentially gaining access to revenue, to more friends and to more normalcy on the international stage. Ian, isnt it fair to say that these goodies that trump has offered, meeting with kim in the first place in singapore, visiting north korea, potentially inviting kim to the white house, these were prizes that the north korean regime had always wanted to be because they wanted to be seen as legitimate. They are seeing as a rogue regime. Trump has given them all this and in return for something very small which has been an end to the suspension of testing. Well, that would be the way that the Foreign Policy establishment would read it. President trump reads it as Something Big for him which is hes the first president to meet directly be with the north korean leader. Hes the first president to go into north korean territory. He is making history. So its a give for the North Koreans as a government. Its a give for donald j. Trump as an individual. Sitting here doing the analysis, thats not a great trait, but having said that leaving aside the legit mization of north korea, china is on its way to being the largest economy and xi jinping who is no fan of jongun, he legitimized him. He made his first trip, which helped to set this up, made the meeting between trump and xi jinping much better than it otherwise would have been better. The fact that the chinese are engaging with the North Koreans, that the South Koreans had that joint team at the olympics that we saw a few months ago. I mean, north korea is getting legitimized by everyone and the fact that trump has jumped on the bandwagon is what well focus on in the u. S. But the reality is that kim jongun is seen as less of a rogue leader even though he runs the worlds worst totalitarian prison state. Tom, what do you make of this meeting . This all started with the president raising the tensions, promising to use fire and fury to wipe north korea off the map. He then lowered those tensions in a sense by offering a freeze for freeze a freeze in our military exercises with south korea in terms in return for a freeze in north koreas testing of long range missiles and nukes. And now i think the best were going to get from this as is going to be a longer term, verifiable freeze in return for some kind of goodies from the west. And you have to say kim has played his hand very well. You know, everyone is running to pyongyang not to buy north Korean Nuclear chips but theyre a Nuclear Power and they intend to remain so. The world is a better place if we can get a verifiable freeze of their program for some goodies in return. I dont think were going to be better than that until theres long term and internally driven change in north korea. Netnet for the world its better theres less tension than more, but donald trump will oversell it as the greatest deal in the milky way galaxy. But if we reduce the tensions there, altogether a good thing. Ian, i want to bring you back to the point you made about china. Do you think that the chinese because the china and north korea this is the only treaty ally that china they have. China has one. So this is one they have carefully maintained relations with. Do you think they would be comfortable with a denuclearized north korea, in other words, a north korea that did not have this insurance weapon that feels like they can withstand western pressure . Historically they have been very uncomfortable with that idea but if you ask me does china thinking that over time theyre going to have a closer relationship and economically dominant relationship with south korea, and a south korean young population that thinks that the United States is the problem on the Korean Peninsula and not kim jongun, not the North Koreans, the chinese are changing their views. North koreas have never liked the chinese historically but they got on the plane and kim jongun used that plane to singapore. Wait a second, remember they killed the the half brother as well. He was someone that we now find out was actually cooperating with the cia while the chinese were protecting him in macao. So i think the level they have with each other today feels so much greater than it was two years ago, four years ago. If he comes to the white house, kim jongun will of course probably fly on a chinese plane. The panel will be back in a bit. But ill talk next on gps to irans ambassador to the united nations. Will irans leaders meet with donald trump like kim did this morning . So are the traits you love about your breed, but behind them are health needs you may not see.

As we have been reporting this morning, President Trump says Nuclear Negotiations with north korea will be restarted. But as the president tweets coy invitations to meet with kim jongun, his tweets to iran take a very different tone. On tuesday, he wrote, any attack by iran on anything american will be met with great and overwhelming force in some areas overwhelming will mean obliteration. How does iran receive such threats . Well, joining me now is irans ambassador to the united nations, majid takht ravanchi. Ambassador, a pleasure to have you on. Irans response in general, to that particular one, has been to say particularly because the Trump Administration has now imposed sanctions directly on the Supreme Leader that there is no prospect of talks with the United States. Why rule out the prospect of talks . Whatever trump says theres a lot of rhetoric, but hes willing to cut a deal it seems. Why not keep the possibility open . First of all, i should say that the talks and threats are mutually exclusive. You cannot start a dialogue with somebody via he or she is trying to intimidate you or trying to impose sanctions. Coercion, intimidation do not go well in dialogue. Therefore, as long as the threats are there, as long as intimidation and coercion are there i think we do not consider any dialogue. Any offer of a dialogue as a genuine and productive one. But is it conceivable that if the threats stopped and if the Trump Administration if donald trump were to say, i will meet with irans president , that could happen . This is a hypothetical question. I think the first thing that the u. S. Should do is go back to the negotiating table. They left the negotiating table while the other members of it the International Community theyre talking to iran about the nuclear issue. All of a sudden, the u. S. Decided to withdraw and the whole problem the whole mess that we are seeing around ourselves is geared to that decision, to withdraw from the nuclear deal and you compare the situation in early 2018 before before President Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal. Compare it to what you have today. Its a totally different story. So all the things that started that decision, in order to make things going back to normal, that decision has to be reversed. Until now, even though the United States withdrew from the iran deal, iran has adhered to that deal. This week well, next ten days you face a moment where you may violate the deal. You may you know, begin to go beyond the limits that were set out in the deal. Has iran decided that it will exceed those limits . First of all, it is not the violation of the deal. There are certain paragraphs in the deal which allow iran not to honor certain commitments and what we have done is exactly based on paragraph 26 and paragraph 36 of the nuclear deal which allow iran in the face of u. S. Withdrawal from the nuclear deal, it allows us to cut short our commitments certain commitments we have identified to for the first phase. In the next ten days if nothing happens we will go to the second phase and we have already announced the elements of the second phase. So our partners with whom we are now talking, they have to hurry up. Because we are running out of time. That is why in the next ten days, we have crucial negotiations and talks with our European Partners in order to see that they can compensate what we have lost as a result of u. S. Withdrawal from the nuclear deal. When you say hurry up, you say the europeans are trying to create a payment mechanism that would allow it would bypass the dollar for food and humanitarian for food and medicine. So far, it has not been successful. Do you get the sense from your european counterparts theyre trying to do what it will take to make this mechanism succeed . They have been i should say that they have been rather slow. It took them more than a year to establish such a mechanism. The establishment of this mechanism is a good thing. But it is not sufficient. They have to hurry up, they have to put money in this mechanism. Otherwise, that mechanism is not going to be of any health because the establishment of a mechanism is not per se something something that can alleviate the problems that we face. The Trump Administration of course claims that iran the iranian government is behind the recent attacks on ships and that this is the way that iran is exercising leverage. Is that in fact true . Not at all. We have already rejected such a claim. In fact, the claim is not being supported by some of the regional countries, by some of the closest u. S. Allies. So how can they claim that this allegation is true . We have already said that this is not this is not something that iran is looking after. We are not looking after trouble or tension in our region. We are not looking after conflicts. Therefore, it is not our job. You do admit though that the sanctions, that because the because of the power of the dollar, nobody else is willing to trade with iran right now because those deals tend to be denominated in dollars. And you are facing real pressure. Iranian economy, the imf says will shrunk 6 . The iranian currency has plummeted 6 so can you sustain this pressure . I believe we can. We have faced a difficult situation, and we managed to survive and with it im sure we can. It is true that the economic sanctions are putting pressure on the iranian people. That is a fact. But that does not mean that we can succumb to pressure. In fact, the American People are not in favor of putting pressure on other nations. This is not to say that the americans talks to other people, or deal with other nations but you are right. The pressure is on the iranian people, but we will manage and we have managed in the past. Mr. Ambassador, a pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Thank you.

Ya i dont even know your phone anymore. Excuse me . what . I dont know your phone number. Aw well. He doesnt know our phone number you have our fax number, obviously. Todays xfinity service. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Ill pass. Back now with my allstar panel. Tom friedman in d. C. , ian bremmer and sam vinograd here with me. What do you make of the difference that donald trump has between north korea and iran . Do you understand why he treats one so so much more optimistically than the other . I really dont, fareed. I think that first of all, listen to the iranian ambassador, i did have to laugh when he said that coercion and diplomacy dont go together. Coersive diplomacy is how iran has pursued the interests in iran, lebanon and syria so theyre the experts at coercive diplomacy. Visavis what trump has done is create real pain and pressure on the iranian government. We have basically choked off the oil exports which are the primary source of income for that country. So trump has created real leverage on iran. For me, the question is, what does he want to do with that . And i think theres real confusion and real split in the administration. I think if trump were to go now to our european allies and say to them, look, the Iranian Nuclear deal that obama negotiated basically imposed a ban on any kind of nuclearization weaponry on iran for about 15 years lets take that to 30 or lets take that indefinitely, okay, lets also ban any missile testing on iran outside the radius of the middle east. I think youd get the europeans, the russians and the chinese to sign on to that. If we put that on the table to the iranians i think theres be a real fight inside iran whether to accept that or not. But when trump starts sanctioning the leader sanctioning the very people hes negotiating with, what it says to me is that he is hes afraid of cutting a deal that will look like just obama plus. That hes afraid of his base or hes worried about people in his own administration or hes confused in his own mind. That what he really wants is regime change. They want transformation, not a transaction. And until trump resolves that in his mind, i dont think were going to make much headway here. Ian . I think that trumps position towards iran and north korea are pretty similar. Just were in a different stage of the cycle. At the beginning, trump was every bit as hard towards north korea as he is right now on iran, but as soon as the North Koreans were willing to show that theyre willing to engage with him directly, suddenly hes best pals. Do i think he could best pals with the iranians if they were willing to accept him at his word in saying im prepared to engage with you with no preconditions. Im opening diplomacy. Obama wouldnt do that. He had kerry meet with zarif, but donald trump would be willing to do that. He would be the first at this that would so i take tom completely right that we have been hitting them hard. Much harder for the iranians to respond now because they have domestic politics and the North Koreans dont. But that offer that could be placed on the table is still placeable on the table. You would advise the iranians, lets meet in geneva, rouhani and trump, a summit . Since we know this is all about trump, the ease for the iranians to give something to trump the individual and get some relief from the sanctions that are really crippling their government and forcing them to respond in ways that are dangerous for them in the region and dangerous for them internationally they have been so reluctant to break out of this iranian deal even though the americans have pulled out. Its crippling them domestically because theyre risk averse. If youre risk averse you need to find a way to actually take trump up on his offer and flip him to being a friend like kim jongun has much more intelligently done. Tensions, sam, are pretty high. I mean, youre in a situation where the iranians are really choked. Theyre looking for ways to exercise some leverage. There might be some miscalculation in the persian gulf. Well, iran is firing on all cylinders when it comes to their own maximum pressure campaigns and in response to President Trump, iran is throwing the weight around in multiple vectors. We have the conventional threat in the gulf which is impacting u. S. Interests and allies and personnel. We have iranian Cyber Attacks that we are seeing an uptick and we dont know what else iran is doing with respect to covert operations potentially so the question is whether iran is going to continue upping the ante to try to bring us back to the negotiating table. And we cant quite compare north korea and iran in one important respect, fareed. Sure, President Trump has a despot double standard, but iran can activate proxies all over the middle east which puts the u. S. Personnel on the ground and allies in direct risk of an iranian ballistic missile. If i was advising President Trump thinking about how to get iran to the negotiating table, i would be seriously thinking about steps i needed to take to protect american personnel in the region. We withdrew diplomats from iraq. We have thousands of other american citizens in the region and iran has demonstrated a willingness, intent and history of attacking americans and thats my foremost authority right now. Well get to china in the next block but i have to ask you, tom friedman has won three Pulitzer Prizes writing on the middle east and ill ask him what he thinks of Jared Kushners peace plan. We got the idea that if we took two dimensional patient imaging and put it in holographic displays, we could dissect around the tumor so we can safely remove it. When we first started, we felt like this might just not be possible but verizon 5g ultra wideband will give us the ability to do this. Plaque psoriasis get clearer.

Tom, so i have to ask you, what do you think of Jared Kushners peace plan and the bahrain conference . Well, on the bahrain conference, fareed, it reminds me something my grandmother used to say. She said if youre having an Israeli Palestinian peace conference and neither one attend you wont succeed. This is basically predicated on the notion you can do a leverage buyout on the west bank. Offer them enough goodies they will basically overthrow the palestinian authority. And agree to be permanent, live in a state of permanent autonomy. I dont think thats going to happen. You know . People, fareed, god bless them, have bodies and souls and the greatest mistake diplomats make is thinking you can feed one and not the other, giving palestinians the money and theyll give up their dignity and aspirations. But kushner made one point i agree with. They got rid of al fa raid, and they suffered no question under the own news conditions, you know, by the israeli occupation. But this is another peace plan thats going to end up in the dust bin of history. Ian bremmer, what do you think of the bahrain conference . First of all, far be it to disagree with Tom Friedmans grandmother, but having said that i think this is a successful conference. It wasnt in bringing about peace, but the palestinians were not there, but israel is getting normalized, right . I mean, you actually had israeli media covering this in bahrain for the first time ever. You had the bahrainian foreign minister say they recognize the right of israel to exist and the fact is that the palestinians are becoming irrelevant to most of the actors in the region, the saudis, the emiratetys and the egyptians. First trip trump made was to israel and it would shock me if he wouldnt take advantage to marginalize the palestinians. Its the most antipalestinian administration we had in a very long time. And the fact theyre both recognizing that reality and the europeans are not allows them to make progress. If youre trump this weekend, you think that was a significant success. And by fareed, if youre jewish, you believe in a Jewish Democratic state in the in the land of israel, this is very depressing. Yes, there is israeli arab peace, but what israel . And the israel that trump is facilitating is a binational israel in which it will permanently rule over 2. 5 million palestinians in the west bank who will have a lesser legal status and then in the long term will undermine any hope of a democratic jewish state in the land of israel. Tom, you know a lot of people in israel on the right say, look, why is this not permanently viable . You know . We think the palestinians have autonomy, a kind of selfrule. But we will never give them the vote, so that theyll never overwhelm the Jewish Democratic majority. Maybe so. But it will be a permanent thorn undermining israels legitimacy. I can tell you from the iranian point of view, fareed, rule number one for israel for iran is israel must never get out of the west bank because it creates a permanent thorn in israels side. And a permanent way for iran to deflect attention from itself and on to israel as depriving israelis of statehood. They both hate iran but in terms of the future of israel, i think it really bodes ill for the future of israel as a Jewish Democratic state. Sam, it does feel though like ians point about the new dynamics of the middle east i have been noticing this ever since the iraq war that the old dynamic of arab nationalism, solidarity with the palestinians all that has melted away. Thats shiia versus sunni and it turns out that saudi arabia and egypt are much closer to israel than they are to the palestinians. Certainly, fareed. That plays into the point that the administrations policy right now is not the two state solution that successive president s have embodied. As ian said, President Trump made clear his policy when it comes to middle east peace is a strong, vibrant state of israel. The palestinians are trying to be bullied into accepting that new status quo. But that is not middle east peace. That is peace on President Trumps and president netanyahus terms. Theyre deciding that it is better to work with israel and to work with israel to fight iran than it is to fight with israel over the palestinians. Palestinians are being left by the wayside as part of the new cost benefit calculation and when we think about israels long term security, if President Trump keeps bullying the palestinians and we do get a de facto one state solution that benefits israel that will not remove the threat from iranian proxies in palestinian territories and that may not be in the long term security interests of israel. So President Trump has been clear on his policy when it comes to israel. And what were seeing is the arab states again choosing to fight iran rather than to support the palestinian claims for statehood. Fascinating. We will have to come back to china some other time.

Its called state of hate, the explosion of White Supremacy. I look at the racial, ethnic and religious hate and look at how and why its rearing its ugly head again. We have seen it in pittsburgh and charlottesville and charlestown. Where is that hatred coming from . Well, youre about to meet jared taylor who holds in of the answers. Hes a leader of americas new brand of white nationalist. Taylor doesnt want to kill or hurt members of other races. But nor does he want to live beside them. So having essentially given up on limiting the flow of people of color into america, taylor now wants to create a section of america that only whites can live in. Some of what youre about to hear may disturb you. Some of you may be angry that we have given this man any air time. But i have always held the belief that you need to listen to all views, even those you find offensive. Perhaps especially those you find offensive. White nationalism is on the rise and taylor and his followers will not go away, just because you ignore them. Tell me what is your basic objective . You know, if you think about this philosophically what are you trying to do . I consider myself a white advocate. That is to say i speak up for the legitimate interests of white people. Every other racial group has organizations, lobbies, even congressional caucuses that look out for their interests. But only whites are not considered a legitimate group for those purposes. For to your mind, what what are those interests . What is your objective . If you could achieve it, what would it look like . Well, one of our objectives of course is to end Racial Discrimination against whites in the form of affirmative action. Thats obviously in our interests. Another is to slow or stop or perhaps stop the dispossession of whites as a majority in this country. The idea were supposed to be celebrating diversity means only that whites are to celebrate their dwindling numbers and declining influence. I dont think any Healthy People wants to become a minority in its own country, especially for those of us who are living here in the nation that was built by our ancestors. Why should we wish to become a minority . Who are whites . Whites are the people whose ancestors are living in europe about 500 years ago. Most of the time we have no difficulty distinguishing whites from other people. I think the idea that the race is somehow is a sociological optical illusion is a modern fad and not based in by in wishful thinking. Let me ask you about that because most of the categories come out of 19th century and the original term used as you know was caucasian. Yes. Now, i think scholars would agree i have as good a claim of being caucasian as you do. That meant people who come out of central asia, out of the caucuses. In fact, the term aryan which is another one often used comes specifically out of india which is where i grew up and it came out of 2000 bc. There was an invasion and it drove the arians way down to the south, so why am i not a caucasian . You might be a caucasian. Im a caucasian, and an aryan, but not a white according to you . If youre advocating policies based on racial categories i want to understand where i fit in. I think most people would not consider you white. You dont know why white means. I know what white means. You dont, but i do. That was jared taylor. Sunday night on my special you will hear from him but you will also hear from those passionately disagree with him.
