why does asthma lead to more infections?

I have asthma and noticed I would sometimes get more infections.
why does asthma lead to more infections?  asthma is an autoimmune disease so shouldn't your immune system be stronger or is your IS somehow messed up in asthma?
I was taking a lot of antibiotics, cipro, doxy, amoxicilin and isoprinosine
asthma seems to be allergic since after returning home after a while I had no symptoms for one month until I got sick and started having asthma/sleep apnea

I am in the US in NY, where is the saltmine?  

if possible I would try to control asthma without prednisone and instead symbicort, singulair....  but I have taken a lot of prednisone in the last few years

hi,
I want to share my one experience about asthma cure , before  4 years ago I had worse asthma attacks someone told me about saltmine treatment , so I visit to salt mine for 10 day and I spent daily 10 hours in mine it really work and I was feeling like my airways are clear and I can breath without any tightness ,and my medicines starts to go down,my doctor was also surprised , I help me for I year,and after that I haven't enough money to visit that mine again,if it is possible for anyone with asthma they should also try once
