    Nobody I know is asking for lax immigration policies. We want more judges to process the cases in a timely manner. We want migrants to be treated humanely during that process - given shelter, care, and not separated from their children. We want border control to have the resources necessary to deter unauthorized entry, and ensure authorized entry is available to those who need it.

    These are not radical desires, it’s about fixing the completely overwhelmed systems already in place. It should not take years to determine if someone was qualified to enter.

    Or, we can go with trump’s approach of denying everyone entry by default, detaining and separating their families, and sorting out the details never.
