People who apply for asylum at the border should be detained until their cases are judged. If they come with families, we should build safe, sanitary, humane family detention centers, and keep building them as long as we need them. We should also dramatically increase the number of immigration judges, to speed the process.

"Parole" into the United States has effectively become Open Borders, and so naturally the Open Borders folks, starting with the "immigrant rights" groups, are all for it. Showing up at the border with a minor in tow should NOT serve as a license to immigrate illegally into the United States, and people who apply for asylum without qualifying for it under relevant international treaties -- that is, without a legitimate fear of government persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion -- are prima facie illegal immigrants if allowed to enter the country on parole, and should be deported.
This is the practice of every other civilized country that I know of, and no place for a display of "American Exceptionalism".
