There is a solution to the issue where the left organizes waves of illegals to storm the border and overwhelm the process, then uses the chaos to try to score political points.
We have consulates all over Mexico and elsewhere. We need to stop trying to process these people at the border. Once they reach the border the left has changed so many of our immigration laws it is hard to process them within the allowed time frame, forcing some to be released, that is why they come in waves- to overwhelm the system. We all know if we release them 80% will not show up for court hearings and melt into the already overwhelming number of illegals we already have here.
Stop doing that process at the border. Staff the consulates to process them, and do not allow anyone to cross the border that has not already completed the process and been granted asylum or other legal status to enter this country. The number floating around is that only a very small tiny percentage of those claiming asylum are actually granted it. Using asylum claims improperly is something the dims came up with to get large numbers of illegals in abusing our laws.
We need to hammer anyone with an R to make this happen. I see nothing that could be used as a hammer by the left in doing this. This would actually help the people actually qualified in that they would not have to make that long dangerous trip in order to apply for real asylum.
Knowing Mexico the way I do, I would bet a lot of money when the chaos of the fake asylum seekers is in their country instead of at our border they will shut their door to the waves of illegals coming up. Problem solved.
It would be cheaper to put them on a plane with first class tickets back to their home country to be detained on US Embassy grounds until they can be processed there.
