That is simply not true. They are not required to request asylume through their country of origin. That's a BIG FAT LIE.I would not spend money on a cage even-I would deport everyone of them until they applied for asylum in another country like they are supposed to. I don't want to punish them-I just don't want them here at all.Especially when he is in one cage and his parents are in another. How cute. How proud of yourself you must be.If my neighbor's kid comes over and tells me he is hungry, I tell him to go home and tell HIS parents.
And the whole reason they are not requeseing asylume at the border entry gates, IS BECAUSE Trump shut the legal entry gates down for refugees to enter legally... or cut back their ability to enter through the gates to a crawl, with a 6 months to a year backlog wait.
By LAW, if a refugee seeker has one toe on our soil, no matter how they make it to our soil, they get due process and can legally apply for asylum....
