Last week, the Trump Administration ordered the National Guard to the border in some states to provide extra support to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol during the illegal immigration “high season.” This week, they also announced they’re sending a cadre of immigration attorneys and judges to help process members of a “caravan” of asylum seekers, currently crossing Mexico and inching closer to the southern U.S. border.
According to the Texas Tribune, legal professionals will begin arriving at the border this week. When the migrant caravan finally reaches the border, anyone who crosses illegally “will be referred for prosecution.” Anyone claiming asylum will have their claim processed almost instantly. If their claims are “without merit,” they will be deported back to their country of origin.
