This policy is clearly in violation of the statute, which states that anyone can apply for asylum at a designated port of arrival (or anywhere else they want). More importantly, Congress specifically left the asylum category without a cap. This is different than nearly every other type of immigration, including refugees, which have limits. Indeed, there used to be a quota on how many asylees could adjust status to legal permanent resident status, but Congress repealed even that in 2005.
Congress unequivocally wanted no limits on asylum, yet the government has created one anyway.
Another told the Atlantic that she crossed the border illegally with her daughter solely because they “were turned away by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at the Paso del Norte port of entry.” In other words, the policy encourages otherwise law-abiding people to break the law. Once they cross, their asylum claim is finally heard. Border Patrol arrested her and took away her daughter, while the Department of Justice criminally prosecuted her.
DHS complains about a lack of “resources” to process asylum seekers, which force it to turn away people at ports. But this claim is baseless. For one thing, its policy results in them needing to arrest, detain, and prosecute the tens of thousands who cross illegally between ports of entry—which the president’s memo admits is more expensive.
Moreover, the ports process more than a half a million people every day, a few hundred asylum seekers would barely be noticed.
Make Honduras Great!But what about rule of law?

Congress Uncapped Asylum. Agencies Covertly Re-Capped It
With regard to what? Medical exclusion? If you’re saying just let them in that’s F-ing stupid and is indeed counter to our policy also. We have to absolutely consider their asylum application. We don’t have roll over and die and just grant it.
Edit: nevermind no you weren’t talking about the medical exclusion of asylum seekers it looks like.
Small steps.
Make Honduras moderately livable!
I know dammit! Read the edit I thought initially you were interjecting on the medical exclusion discussion that was happening prior.What are you talking about? They're not saying people don't qualify...they're just not processing them because they're purposefully trying to gum up the works.
Congress wrote the law so that asylum seekers are not capped. The DHS spokesperson slipped up and said they are turning asylum seekers away, and they can't validly claim it's a resource issue, because that can't possibly be true. If Trump wants to limit it, at least have the balls to pass an XO.
You guys probably don't realize this, but we actually have some fault here with Honduras. Not surprisingly, it's one of the many, many banana republics we meddled in. We (including Obama) helped to create a climate where Hondurans became refugees.

So apparently the “look at this “ media has duped everyone into believing that the caravan furthest out was the spotlight. Meanwhile, back at the actual border...Watch–Caravan Migrants Arrive at Southern Border, Scale Fence
Video footage released by various Mexican news agencies show the first group of migrants with a caravan of 7,000 to 10,000 Central Americans have arrived at the United States-Mexico border.
In live video footage by Televisa Tijuana Oficial and FRONTERA, Central American migrants reportedly with the caravan can be seen scaling a border fence that separates Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, California.

You are correct and immunization programs won’t help for about 10 years. So the threat is real.Because these are viruses being introduced to our kids from Latin America. When there was a huge surge of minors around 4 years ago, American doctors that went to help said there were diseases coming in that we should be terrified of. This is just one of them.
But what about rule of law?

It has nothing to do with it. The kids contracted an enterovirus. Which is transmitted through the intestinal lining and can be contracted though tough. In other words make you kid do basic hygiene like washing you hands after using the restroom.
Siap - good video from inside the migrant caravan
