Like the Paris Accords, however noble the cause, we are not obliged, and as a sovereign nation, we have every right to control our border. Not only the right, but his year more than ever, the American people are expecting our leaders to assert that right.
Of course. Again, the obligations of the 1951 Convention do not require countries to give up their right to "control their border." We're simply prohibited from returning legitimate refugees to the country they're legitimately in danger returning to - and to provide a modicum of due process to people to make sure they have a meaningful opportunity to establish those claims. You don't have to nationalize them, you can keep them detained indefinitely, you can send them out of your country to any other country that will agree to take them. You can't just expel them without a hearing. That's not ceding control of your border, despite the maximalist claims of some border hawks.
