        Only in America can an agency sue on behalf of an unknown foreign person about to commit an illegal action on our country

        Constitution establishes the foundation. The legislative branch builds a structure on that foundation. The executive branch can pick the furnishings.

        Let me step back from my own metaphor. The law says that any person who has entered the United States can apply for asylum. That means the president can't decide that "any" means "only some people."

        Dang now your getting technical, then you should know there are plenty of precedent to give the president this latitude as well as the AG can change the limitations by which illegals can claim asylum, but really why fight this fight and not getting immigration laws changed?

        I thought the left loved the UN??? They forget the UN rules of immigration and asylum seeking. You must apply for asylum in the first country you enter. That was Mexico.
