you dont have to present yourself at a port of entry. This is fake news. Its not against the law to request asylum anywhere. In fact, lawyers recommend you dont go to the port of entry.
BTW CBP is also turning people away who try to follow the law by presenting themselves at a port of entry to make an asylum claim.
NPR ran a story on it last weekend.
They have this. In both US and international law. But the US is violating these laws by preventing them from even presenting themselves for asylum. So they cross the border to force the issue and end up arrested and now charged with a misdemeanour which no other admin did before. That misdemeanour means bye bye kids.Can't they explicitly make a clause for asylum seekers they will not be charged with a crime?

Propublica has apparently posted audio of children wailing at these totally-not-cages detention centers.

Children whose parents have been arrested are transferred to the custody of the Health and Human Services Department, whose staff screens them, finds housing and remains responsible for them.
From that point, migrant parents and children become separate legal cases in the maze of government bureaucracy, and keeping them linked has proved challenging. Different legal protections are afforded to juveniles and adults in the immigration system, and as a result, reuniting families can take months or longer, several legal experts said.
In federal court, parents typically plead guilty to the misdemeanor offense of illegal entry. Many are then likely to accept “expedited removal” from the country, in the hope of being reunited quickly with their children. But children cannot be subject to expedited removal; they are automatically entitled to a full hearing before an immigration judge, and their cases take longer to resolve.
“Once the parent and child are apart, they are on separate legal tracks,” said John Sandweg, who was acting director of ICE during the Obama administration.
Reunification becomes particularly difficult when a parent is deported without the child and is no longer on American soil, Mr. Sandweg said; in those cases, “there is a very high risk that parents and children will be permanently separated.”
So in essence he likes sessions and wants to keep him around as both a punching bag and a guy who gets stuff done. Is trump smarter than we think?Dirty deeds like this are exactly why Trump keeps Sessions around. This policy came from the White House with implementation by Sessions.
Detail: They joke in Spanish. They want the kids to know they are making fun of them.ProPublica obtained audio from inside a facility as children wailed. One 6 year old begs to call her aunt. The employees just joke that they have an orchestra inside.

Do criminals get a free pass just because they drag their children into their crimes?
There is no right to illegal entry into the US.
It is the same for American citizens. If your children have no other known family and you are arrested, they go in the "system". You don't go to prison together and they are not left home alone. The problem for illegal immigrants is that they number in the millions. They overwhelm our systems by an order of magnitude. Even if we wanted to deport them back to their home country we either don't know who they are, or don't have the manpower assigned to get it done before another ten thousand show up.
The volume creates a backlog which necessitatesstorage"housing". Even assuming we were doing the right thing.
It's a bad situation that legislation can solve by allocating several more $billions to the task.
You live in a country that tries to push fake news of the children being put in cages. Twice, the left has tried this. Once with a picture from the Obama years, once with an actual fake picture that was a setup.
This doesn't help the actual problem.

What does this have to do with Asylum seekers?
