This is what I was afraid of when hearing CSM's replies to what these folks can do and cannot do. But as has been stated by many, this will hopefully push many past their boiling point and this may be the final 'vote' in getting the wall funded and built.

Laws in the past apparently were meant to be broken. New laws need to be written better and of course upheld. And the last sentence in bold - fact - if you keep allowing this crap to happen/fail, that's just permission for future groups.

Border Patrol Council Chief Brandon Judd: Army Cannot Stop Migrant Caravan; Only Wall, New Laws

Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, told Breitbart News Tonight on SiriusXM that only a border wall and changes to existing asylum laws can stop the status quo of endless migrant caravans coming across the U.S.-Mexico border; and if laws are not changed, then more facilities are needed to detain asylum seekers while their claims are adjudicated.

In a Thursday interview with SiriusXM hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak, Judd commented on President Donald Trump’s intention to use the military to block the Central American migrant caravan from crossing into the United States from Mexico.

Judd said Secretary of Defense James Mattis’s plan to deploy 800 active-duty U.S. troops to assist in border security efforts is worthwhile but not enough in the long-term to solve the issue of the migrant caravans.

“It’s going to help, but not for the reason that people think,” said Judd. “It’s going to free up our resources to be able to ensure that the cartels do not create a profit the way they did on the last caravan.”

Judd explained the exploitation of existing asylum laws by the migrant caravans.

“The fact of the matter is, if somebody puts one foot into the United States, I have to take them into custody,” said Judd. “And if they say, ‘I want asylum,’ then it kicks off the asylum process, and ultimately they’re going to be released [into America]. Now, they don’t have to be released. There’s nothing under law that says we have to release them, but we don’t have the holding facilities to hold the number of people that are going to cross the border illegally.”

Judd added, “That is a problem with [the Department of Homeland Security]. That is a problem they should have foreseen when President Trump initially took office, and they should have planned and adjusted for it. They didn’t. So now we’re in this situation where catch-and-release is exactly what happens, it’s what goes on, and it’s a situation that we’re put in.”

Judd said American sovereignty will continue being challenged by migrant caravans if the status quo of catch-and-release laws and policies continues.
