Fleeing one country does not give you the right to illegally break into another.  Isn't it like 80% of asylum claims are found to be without merit?  Could be wrong on that, but I remember reading that.

I'd say the "root cause" is whatever causes the parents to flee their home country.

Fleeing another country does give one a right to apply for asylum--at present.

Trump has been trying to terminate that right and the law which addresses it. If he and Stephen Miller have their way, ALL asylum claims will be "without merit."
