    FACT: US law specifically allows individuals to apply for asylum whether or not they are at a port of entry. It is illegal to circumvent that — by agency or presidential decree.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-administration-to-tighten-asylum-rules-as-caravans-approach/2018/11/08/69a06a08-e2a7-11e8-a1c9-6afe99dddd92_story.html?utm_term=.218dabaa0345 …

        Being a right created by treaty, it has equal standing to the US Constitution according to Article VI. It is not within the power of Congress to delegate the power to suspend asylum rights without withdrawing from the treaty.

        the USA has encompassed the various treaties and protocols into our laws. any official attempting to by-pass the law or treaty should be charged with a crime.

        I actually had an attorney in our office tell me the immigrants should be applying for asylum at US embassies in Mexico. I explained he was wrong and told him "You're a lawyer. Stop allowing people to tell you the law. Pull the statute - 8 USC 1158 - and read it yourself. Geesh.

        8 USC 1158. I needed to know that at this pressing moment. First time entrants who walked right up to BP outside of oort of entry and asked for asylum. Was looking at duress and necessity as possibilities. Thanks.

        Why so much focus on migrants at the southern border? Who's stopping those crossing the northern border? Why if the focus squarely on brown/non-white migrants? Who's monitoring white immigrants who have entered illegally, overstayed visas and are here illegally? #EndRacism

        Trump is fixated on preventing Black/Brown ppl frm being here bc he's an admitted pussy-grabbing, racist. Calls himself a "nationalist". Even my bird knows what that means. Not once have I ever heard him utter one word abt the influx of illegal WHITE immigrants entering the US.pic.twitter.com/D0BzeSfRLb

        All I hear is a lot of talk by outraged institutions and Americans. What I don't hear is a single lawmaker or congressman willing to stand up and protect anyone but themselves.

        So now does someone have to take them to court to stop this illegal policy?! This is bcuz of #GOPRacism and their fear of losing power bcuz people of color will outnumber them and they will lose control & power. They will do ANYTHING to retain power & control!

        It's all about keeping brown people out of the US. And @SecNielsen should be ashamed of herself for ripping children from parents, causing them lasting trauma.

        Thank you for your reply. The immigration and nationality act is pretty huge and wide, and I’m still studying it till now. I’m sure you will find all the information you need to know about the immigration system if you have enough time to read it. Thank you again.
