Al-Shabaab is not a government.
It's a terrible situation no doubt but it's not asylum eligible.
It is an indisputable fact that the majority of claims are complete bull**** and just the raw numbers should indicate to a reasonable person that there is a consolidated message being taught to migrants.
Where is that messaging coming from? Who is funding that type of operation? And finally, why are they doing it?
Your first point is just wrong. Al-Shabaab is a participant in the Somali civil war and has been, a la ISIS elsewhere, the de facto governmental entity in parts of Somalia. This was not even a point of contention in the hearing I attended. The issue was about how his claim was classified.
Regardless, the larger point is that this guy is one of the alleged 70% failed applications you are decrying as "bull****." The claim is very real, but it is just not fitting into some technical category (and also being appealed, so who knows how it gets resolved).

And it couldn't possibly be at the direction of the current administration....
This has nothing to do with people cheating the system and everything to do with the ridiculous and morally bankrupt policies of the Trump Administration. It's just like the same myth that the majority of people on welfare or other federally funded programms are cheating the system and spending their money on drugs. Are there instances of this? Sure. But they are isolated and don't represent the majority of the people.

For one, this is more rhetoric that can't be substantiated.
Secondly, again this only affects the total number of asylum requests. Trump's administration has reduced the cap for asylum seekers to the lowest they've ever been, which again. It's just another example of just how morally bankrupt this administration is.
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
