How to fix our broken asylum system and end the border flood-tide FOREVER

President Donald Trump and his team have been cracking down hard on border enforcement and on the worst illegal migrants still in the country — great.But a longer-term fix — also of great use in speeding deportations now — requires cleaning up the mess of US “law” regarding the supposed rights of border-jumpers, as well as our obsolete asylum system.Gridlocked not just on party lines but by ideologues and interest-group lobbying, Congress has failed for decades to update these laws; instead, activist judges and presidential decrees have created “legal” roadblocks to evicting people here illegally.Consider the literal hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Venezuelans that President Joe Biden invited unvetted into the country: Most of them weren’t living in Venezuela or Haiti before they came here, which means that they’re supposed to be legally ineligible for asylum. Biden even extended their Temporary Protected Status to stop them getting the boot; Trump rescinded that protection — but courts have blocked deportations anyway, at least until the Supreme Court weighs in.Witness the grand farce surrounding Team Trump’s deportation flights to El Salvador, for now blocked by DC Circuit Court Judge Jeb Boasberg to the cheers of the usual media suspects.So humble is Boasberg that he tried to stop the initial flights midair, and even now resents that they didn’t get called back even though they were already out of his jurisdiction.
