LOL. YOU'RE the guy bragging how fast the Border Patrol was on the group that swam the river behind Speaker Johnson's press conference.

What does that have to do with the question? As I pointed out in that thread, the Border Patrol caught them instantly - on our side of the border. Because the Border Patrol can't enter Mexico.

That's exactly the point. All Border Patrol can do is catch them when they're already in the country. All a fence or wall can do for most of the border is keep the asylees on the "swale" and prevent them from having free access to the interior....but they're still already in the country. So they have a right to request asylum.

We're already allowed to keep them in detention for as long as we're willing to pay for it (to provide shelter, clothing, food, medical care, etc.). But we can't send them back home - or require them to take a drug test prior to applying for asylum - once they're physically in the country.

So again, what's your idea for dealing with them?
