You just rebuked Trump's policy.U.S. law - in compliance with international law - requires that anyone presenting himself at our border and requesting "asylum" be given a hearing to determine whether the claim is legitimate under international law. Asylum must be granted if a number of conditions are met. They must present themselves and request asylum in the FIRST COUNTRY they encounter where the dangers they are fleeing are not present. The request must be based on a real, verifiable claim that their lives and safety are in jeopardy in their home country, based on race, ethnicity, or religion.
You cannot be granted asylum if you come here to "seek a better life," or get a better job, or exploit our social safety net.
Thus, essentially NONE of the people in the so-called Caravan have a legitimate claim for asylum under U.S. and international law.
Trump's order simply tried to make the coming situation a little more manageable; Each of these fukkers is entitled to a hearing (or two), which will be an administrative nightmare, lasting many, many months, during which all of these people will have to be housed in one way or another, as U.S. taxpayer expense.
The court ruling may be correct, but it won't change the end results; all of these pathetic travelers will be rejected (and some, undoubtedly, will make it through).
The law is the law
