Pick a name a when you show up at the border door step and ask for "asylum". Someone clarified the process though. Like I mentioned, you're muddying the waters between refugee and potential illegals to push the open borders agenda. It's never humanitarian to separate children from parents but it's more humanitarian than throwing them in jail and processing them like law breakers that the parents are.

There are numerous ways to claim asylum. Turning up at the border is one. And the process can be quick.

and The reason to avoid requesting asylum at the port of entry to the U.S. is that the inspections officers have the power to quickly find you inadmissible and deport you, in which case you will not be allowed to return for five years. This can happen if an inspector believes that you are making a misrepresentation (committing fraud),

People are not stupid, not the administration nor those trying to get across the border by asylum. We are cracking down on asylum seekers and those crossing the border illegally as we should be.

You need to read your own link. You're a bit off in your claims.

I don't believe I said a word about refugees in this thread. Confusing me with another poster perhaps?

Or you can try an equitable solution fair to both parties.

Why give law breakers any kind of equitable solution? It's not fair to the victim because it rewards in part the acts of the law breaker.

I will never see it as humanitarian to separate children from their parents. Detain, and return, no problem, but put children in separate camps? That is just not right.

Why not have intelligent, sensitive solutions to real world problems?
