"The goal of the president's new policy is manifestly just to keep out any asylum seekers at all. It's clear that DHS intends to continue its practice of rejecting asylum seekers at ports of entry as well, as evidenced by the fact that the military is placing concertina wire around the ports of entry. This would obviously be totally unnecessary if they processed the claims at ports, and if the immigrants were trying to sneak in, they wouldn't go to the port to begin with.

"President Trump is violating the law, which was intended to protect asylum seekers in situations like the Jews on the St. Louis who were trying to enter the United States without proper documentation but whom the United States monstrously turned away. Any policy that would turn away the St. Louis-the exact situation that prompted the creation of the asylum statute-flunks the basic tests of legality and morality."
