No one should doubt President Trump’s resolve to stop the thousands-strong “caravan†of foreigners heading toward our southern border. What they expect to find is what previous caravans, and also unaccompanied minors and family units, have experienced. After crossing the border illegally, they are captured by Border Patrol. They are detained – for no more than 20 days, in the case of unaccompanied minors and family units – then released into the interior of the United States with court dates many months or years in the future. Many never appear at these hearings, but go on living illegally in the United States – indefinitely.
This time, the immigration-law experts at my organization, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, believe that won’t happen. Abundant legal tools exist to enact President Trump’s resolve.
