    Asylum seekers are the ones turning themselves in… and it is well known closing off asylum seekers and increasing deportations directly leads to more border crossings.

    What is the gameplan here with this order? Surely commit extensive resources to the bottlenecked bureacracy to help with processing and screening asylum seekers? Right?

      Everyone crossing the border is trained to claim they are seeking asylum and they can’t go back to their home country.
