      This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.

      You are not breaking the law by seeking asylum at a port of entry.

          For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous Administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between 'family' members, or if the adult has broken a law.

          DHS takes very seriously its duty to protect minors in our temporary custody from gangs, traffickers, criminals and abuse.

          For weeks U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been stationing agents in the middle of Paso del Norte and other legal border crossings, where they turn away many asylum seekers, preventing them from even stepping onto the U.S. side: http://nyer.cm/ixS8t8v  pic.twitter.com/LqBSZhC3Tz

          When BP agents are not allowing asylum seekers in through ports of entry parents are desperate to save their children.

          I know this is kind of a silly question but why don't you just paint instructions on the stupid wall so if if they can go to the right place! Seriously I understand that Common Sense isn't coming to everybody but make it easier for them! You continue to fail daily at your job!

          People don’t always know where the ports of entry are & are often turned away. Where the fuck are they supposed to go while they wait? A goddamned Holiday Fucking Inn with a pool and breakfast buffet?! For fucks sake. Evil exists in this world. We must #ResistTrump
