I've read we are turning away asylum seekers that are trying to enter legally because we have too many entering illegally. As I said: I have the utmost respect for those families trying to seek asylum the legal way. If they are crossing illegally and then surrendering they are breaking the law. They and anyone that supports them should be ashamed. I would hope no one would try to muddy the 2.
If we are subjecting those that enter legally to such detainment then we should expedite the return of those that come here illegally.
I've read that we have been turning away asylum seekers at legal ports of entry, which is illegal for us to do under international guidelines, and so they have crossed at other places and turned themselves in to immigration officials at the first opportunity in an attempt to claim asylum.
