Hearings in tent courts in South Texas are underway for asylum-seekers forced to wait in Mexico while their immigration applications are considered.

Still thinking we need to put the wall/fence/barrier up 100 feet south of the current international boundary. Minimum.

If you have ever been in the JAG Corps, this is not unusual.

Sounds like down and dirty processing. In or out...the end.

Beats the hell out of Obama's catch and release program.

Why would you even think that. Ridiculous idea. It’s like asking to get shot.

"asylum-seekers"

There should be no asylum-seekers unless its extraordinary circumstances. We had a translator from Iraq and that took 10 years!!!!!

It was so much easier when they would be released into the USA and just not show up for the hearings. Guaranteed Democrat votes lost! < / sarcasm >

Well, had said translator simply snuck across the border it wouldn’t have taken as long. Legal stuff is too time consuming.
