Better life? >> even if there are, im not convinced, but even if there are a handful of bad apples, it does not negate the reality of what these people are fleeing from the northern triangle. and what some of the reporting said was when these individuals who were in the asylum process, it is legal for people to come into this country to seek asylum. >> yes. >> it is not legal to tear gas people. trump is not a fan of asylum seekers. hes demonized these people already. perhaps some of these were ...

Permission to work for three to four years but that kind of gives you a sense of the confusion. a lot of people that are here, they dont necessarily know about the asylum process. they have been told all kinds of different things and many of them under the impression to go up to the border and ask for a work permit and then be allowed to go to the united states. guys, back to you. >> stay on this for a moment. people see the images and listen to the president. saying its stone-cold criminals. my...

Country. >> maybe an excuse not to make it to work tomorrow? ha ha! just could happen. we want to start with the big pushback on president trumps overhaul of the asylum process at the u.s./mexico border. it would require asylum seekers to wait in mexico while their applications are processed in the united states. they say it would double the number of asylum applications processed at the border but the mexican government says he has not reached any agreement with washington. sarah westwood is ...

Scenes and say, yes, we do need to control the border or even potentially possibly shutdown the border to prevent this from happening. but the fact is we do have a robust system in place of processing these people through the lawful asylum process. the problem is that the trump administration has in effect helped create this problem by not allowing people to come into the country and apply for asylum, which number one, is there legal right to at least apply, and number two what people forget abo...

To be made, it would replace the catch and release policy that the president has continuously railed against in which immigrants are let go into the united states while their asylum cases go through u.s. courts. the president blames the catch and release policy on democrats. he says it incentivizes these migrant to come illegally. the current crisis is on -- >> he controls the white house. his party controls the house and the senate and it is on them. what i think they should do its personnel he...

He understands the immigration situation affects other states than just border states. when we see the news, they released a small if not large group of this caravan, will try to peacefully cross illegally, forcibly test the administration which the president tweeting he will do everything he can, calling for a bipartisan solution coming to a head. and we want to get insight from mike huckabee on this. >> before donald trump i dont think the american people understood how the asylum process work...

Admitting so few people to the asylum process they are effectively staying in mexico any way. they wouldnt have to do much to make this work. >> there is a similarity to this. we have seen policy after policy done in this way. thats the not the way it used to be. it strikes me it is the same thing happening again. the president saying we are doing something and there is a lot to be hachlerred out here. >> right. he reminds me of robert moses in that. >> yeah. >> he would sort of say it and maybe...

Single turn. and now theyre stuck in a purgatory, a limbo, of sorts. its important to remind people of what america has always stood for, welcoming refugees from other countries. he is closing the doors. and lets make sure we dont forget, theyre supposed to be paying for this wall, which is going to be a conversation that, you know, i know were not really talking about that specifical specifically. but when it comes to mexico, they are supposed to be paying for this wall. somehow that has left t...

Medium term. >> i was just saying it is said by one of those who was with this group of migrants for several weeks that theyre doing this because they are saying hey, we do want to get more attention to this issue. we dont believe that this idea of us not being allowed to seek asylum at a more expe ditious is good. the number of asylum applications is about 60 to 100 a day. theres a lot of focus here, jay, on the very details of what the asylum process is and what that means, unfortunately, poli...

But here again, its the trump administration essentially deflecting the responsibility and not wanting to do that. at the end of the day, what we see here with the asylum process that i believe makes the trump administration very nervous is that there is no cap on asylum here in the united states. whereas with refugees there is an annual cap that is set by both the president in consultation with congress. with asylum cases, its more of a case by case issue and i think that has always made the tr...
