I feel bad the guy. Otgonbayar Lkhagvasuren came to the United States from Mongolia on a vistor's visa in 2010 and subsequently applied for asylum. He didn't want to go back to Mongolia. Perhaps understandably.
But he doesn't have an actual claim. He says he was a whistleblower in an alcoholic beverages company that he though was corrupt. But that's not going to cut it. As the Ninth Circuit as well as the immigration tribunals below squarely held.
So Mr. Lkhagvasuren will have to go back.
I've got no reason to believe that he wouldn't be a fine citizen. And it's not like the United States is being swamped with citizens from Mongolia -- a country that only has three million of 'em in the first place.
But we've got limits. This is one of them. So back to Mongolia for Mr. Lkhagvasuren.
