Limits on immigration

The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention (including the international definition of a refugee) into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980. Families escaping violence and persecution in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Venezuala, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other countries in crisis have undertaken a dangerous journey to seek safety in the United States. People arriving at the U.S. border have the right to request asylum without being criminalized, turned back or separated from their children—even during a pandemic. As a point of interest there are 233 million people who live in the above mentioned countries. In addition there 340 million Christians being persecuted around the world mostly in Africa. The top ten in the World Watch List of countries where Christians are at the highest risk are: North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Eritrea, Yemen, Iran, Nigeria, and India. This brings the total number eligible for entry into the US is over 570 million. There has to be limits on how many can come here. What should those limits be. Who decides the limits.
