Hello Lee,

>> Asylum seekers arriving at the border on American soil and asking for
>> asylum is perfectly legal. That is how it's done. Then they have a
>> hearing and the immigration department decides to give them asylum or
>> not.

LL> Trump made up a rule to change that. In September 2019 the USSC
LL> decided to allow Trump's rule to remain in place until the courts
LL> decided the issue. As of now, the matter is still in the courts,
LL> with no decision made.

It's unfortunate that Donald Trump's executive orders are out of line with US and international law, and that the USSC didn't put it down as such.

Ttyl :-),
