would cruz's proposal (the aims of which are quoted below) solve this?
Double the number of federal immigration judges, from roughly 375 to 750.
Authorize new temporary shelters, with accommodations to keep families together.
Mandate that illegal immigrant families be kept together, absent aggravated criminal conduct or threat of harm to the children.
Provide for expedited processing and review of asylum cases, so that — within 14 days — those who meet the legal standards will be granted asylum, and those who do not will be immediately returned to their home countries.
from what i've read, people are critical of the two week processing because it's unrealistic. but otherwise this seems to address the issues.
I think the two biggest problems are that it doesn't do anything to accommodate the representation of the people seeking asylum and Trump admin will just rubber stamp deny these claims by either altering the things that can be considered or using the 14 day limit to prevent people from building any case.
People shouldn't be detained anyway, take down their information, give them a court date, if they no-show then go from there.
So let people declare asylum at a point of entry or within 1 year. After declaring, take their info*, put them in a database, and give them a court date.
If they skip court or don't declare within a year, f'em ban'em?
*this is probably an ignorant question, but, in general, do people that cross the border have "information" such that if they do skip court they can be identified?
