No. of Recommendations: 7

So add a clause that amnesty claims may only be processed at official ports of entry. Anyone claiming amnesty at Eagle Pass or a random hole in the fence is denied. Deal?

Again, no. That's a violation of international law and our treaty obligations. You can't expel refugees. If you find someone in Eagle Pass and they will be killed or tortured if you send them back to their home country, you can't expel them back to their home country. You can set up whatever processes you want or need in order to determine whether their claims are accurate...but if they are a bona fide refugee, you can't just kick them out and be in compliance with international law.

That means you have to give them a fair process to make their claim - no summary expulsions just because they're not in the place you want them to be.
