Two things of interest.
1) Trump administration to give Border Patrol agents authority to decide asylum claims on the spot.
Story at Washington Examiner.
[border patrol given asylum authority]
The border patrol at the airports already has authority to block people from entering. Even on thin ground of suspicion, such as visitors with no provable plans for return.
Border Patrol on Netflix shows this happening every episode. Viewers become hardened (I do). At first we're all, "Oh, that's so sad. Now they have to go back." Then after a few episodes of seeing all the crap people pull every hour, every day, assuming America are all patsies ripe for the conning, one huge orchard for the world to come pluck, we shift (I do) to "Get out. And stay out. Go pull your orchard-plucking on Russia. Try this on China. Go do this to Canada or Australia or England. Spare me the tears, they no longer work." Has America become less inviting, less open, less lovely?
Yes! (I did) You cannot just come prancing over here and claim squatter's rights.
2) Ninth Circuit Appellate Court allows 'return to Mexico' policy to remain in force (for now).
While their requests for asylum in the U.S. are adjudicated.
