BROWNSVILLE, Texas—Each morning well before sunrise, dozens of immigrants line up on the international bridge here to enter a recently erected tent facility at the U.S. border.
Inside a large wedding-style tent, the government has converted shipping containers into temporary courtrooms, where flat screens show the judge and a translator, who are in front of a camera in chambers miles away.
The tents, which appeared at ports of entry here and up the Rio Grande in Laredo in late summer, are the latest manifestation of the Trump administration’s evolving response to a surge of migrants seeking asylum at the southern border.
Migrants are ushered to these courts dozens at a time, allowing them access to the U.S. legal system without admitting them onto U.S. soil. They are already part of yet another Trump administration experiment, the Migrant Protection Protocols, which requires migrants to live in Mexico for the duration of their court cases.
The administration says the tent courts are designed to help the immigration system move more quickly through cases, providing asylum faster for qualified applicants and turning away the rest—many of whom, the administration says, have submitted fraudulent claims.
In the past, nearly all families and children arriving at the border were allowed into the U.S. to await hearings. But now, tens of thousands of asylum seekers must wait months in Mexican border cities that have some of the highest crime rates in the Western Hemisphere.
On a recent Friday, Judge Eric Dillow connected with the Brownsville tent via videoconference from his courtroom in Harlingen, Texas, about 30 miles away. The migrants, seated at a folding table, were shown on a large screen.
Judge Dillow planned to hold hearings for 28 migrants that morning, but only 17 appeared at the bridge the requisite four hours

” dozens of immigrants “
They aren’t immigrants, they’re invaders attempting to enter the country by evading the ordinary controls.
Everything after this statement is garbage, because it’s Original Sin: starting from a false premise.
Aliens have no right to due process.
When some unknown person breaks into or merely enters your home without your permission and you shoot them, did you just deny that trespasser due process?
Yeah. Democrats are always concerned about due process. Snort!
They are worried about the due process of foreigners in Mexico seeking to game the system to get into the US but they also want to take our guns and worry about due process later.
We need Judge Roy Bean in those tents.
Our dictocrats want to take away due process form the President and staff, and red flag laws and give due process to criminals?
Press 1 for español. Hey kids, whatever happened to Dora the Invader? Was she the old Greta?
“We need Judge Roy Bean in those tents.”
A public set of gallows with offenders left hanging would solve the issue of illegal entry.
If they illegally the US, they get A process and they are not shot on sight, as are invaders in other countries.
“Migrants are ushered to these courts dozens at a time, allowing them access to the U.S. legal system ...”
INVADERS are ushered...
America’s robed mullahs will take care of it. They are more nuanced and sophisticated than their ME slobs. What’s under your robe? IUD or IED?
Are Glenn and Teddy boy giving them bears for Christmas?
We the people ARE BEING ATTACKED. PREPARE.

The WSJ says that like it’s a bad thing!
Excellent work, Mr. President!

“They aren’t immigrants, they’re invaders attempting to enter the country by evading the ordinary controls.”
I agree; Dreck from the Ministry of Truth.
(”I’ma_grant” you status through the misuse of language!”
Standard redefinition of terms by the collectivists.
“APPLICANTS.”
A more neutral term, “Applicants” is a better way to refer to them. It avoids the emotional associations of the word “Immigrants”, and is probably more legally correct.
“...tent courts are designed to help the immigration system move more quickly through cases, providing asylum faster for qualified applicants and turning away the rest...”
CLOSE THE DAMNED BORDER. TURN ALL OF THEM BACK, DAMMIT!
And the watchbear.
would be nice if everyone living on the border started raising fire ant farms
Guess the Cheap Labor lobby told their friends at the WSJ that Tyson is running out of chicken pluckers and cutters.
Brilliant. Thank God Trump was elected... Hillary would have been down at the border waving in the third world ...(after securing a few choice 'speaking engagements' from dictators who want to dump their losers)...
It's a lot easier to tell people "NO" or "YES" without having an extra few thousand disappear into our country every day. After illegals breaking in is under control it'll be time to find the people who broke in the past 20 years and send them home.
They’re illegal aliens, nothing more.
