Why would it require a week after unification to decide upon asylum application? If your nation is not at war, I don’t see how you can for a single moment fill out an asylum application.
The bus should pull up with the 20 kids, and you tell the twenty parents to climb on board with their kids...with a four-minute drive to the border point to drive them across and dump them with a bottle of water, and a baloney sandwich.
What does the written law say?
If the law doesn't address it, then this ruling should be appealed. And the judge should be impeached.
A non-muslim, living in say Saudi Arabia, goes to the US Embassy and requests asylum because they face religious persecution ...
is that at least a plausible reason (not say it should be granted ...)?

One can’t deport El Salvadorans and Hondurans to Mexico.
They have to be flown home (or given life jackets and dumped in international waters off the coasts of their countries).
