    What we need to do is fix the immigration courts. Right now, there can be a long time between “I request asylum” and the court saying yay or nay. In addition, people can be required to be their own lawyer - including if they don’t speak English or are three years old.

    Also, if we want to slow migrants coming in, we should target businesses that hire illegal immigrants. If there were no jobs for them, they wouldn’t come here. Theoretically, Republicans should support this since it would be a supply side solution. Of course, this would target businesses and isn’t cruel enough towards immigrants to get the support of Republicans.
