Border apprehensions exceeded 100,000 in March – the highest monthly total in 12 years. And Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan declared that the situation at the border has reached “the breaking point.â€Unlike illegal immigration in past decades which occurred under cover of darkness, the vast majority of these migrants walk straight up to Border Patrol agents in broad daylight and make bogus claims seeking asylum. As one Border Patrol agent told me, the illegal aliens treat Border Patrol officers like Ãœber drivers. They transport the aliens to CBP stations for initial screenings and then release the aliens into the interior of the United States, telling them that they must return for their hearings. Most never show up.
1. Publish the final version of the regulation that would supersede the Flores Settlement. ... Finalizing that regulation would allow the United States to detain entire families together, and it would stop illegal aliens from exploiting children as get-out-of-jail free cards.2. Set up processing centers at the border to house the migrants and hold the hearings in one place. ... It would be possible to fly most migrants home within a few weeks of their arrival. Word would get out quickly in their home countries that entry into the United States is not as easy as advertised. The incentive to join future caravans would dissipate quickly.3. Publish a proposed Treasury regulation that prohibits the sending home of remittances by people who cannot document lawful presence in the United States. ... Then tell the government of Mexico that we will finalize the Treasury regulation unless they do two things to help us address the border crisis: (1) Mexico immediately signs a “safe third country agreement†similar to our agreement with Canada. This would require asylum applicants to file their asylum application in the first safe country they set foot in, so applicants in the caravans from Central America would have to seek asylum in Mexico...
For some reason, there is no will at the top to do this.
It will all be challenged and stopped. The President can count on no elected official in Washington and beyond to support his taking any one of these three actions. Not one.

But it takes leadership in the executive branch willing to act decisively.
