And if one pretends to seek asylum then never shows up for their court date? That's what was happening. That's why the policy was implemented.

An alternative is to take the names/ information from the "Asylum seekers" then take them and their kids and turn them back to Mexico to await processing of said information.
Lets see what facilities the Mexicans build to house the parents and children.
After All most are trying to escape countries south of Mexico - so Mexico to them should be head and heels better to stay in then the country they fled.
Once approved let the families in.
But we are not allowed to deport them. When they seek asylum they are supposed to be in mortal danger. Sending them back would cause their death (theoretically.)
I think an answer would be to inject them with a pet chip that has GPS so we can locate them. We would have to put it somewhere they couldn't easily remove it. Like into their brain.
Majority of the immigrants requesting asylum are not Mexico citizens. They have come from countries further south. So, I would not see them being in mortal danger by staying in Mexico.
In the past, many who have been released into America have completely disappeared and do not reappear to court proceedings. Most likely why there has become so many sanctuary cities.
Thus, I agree with the poster you were responding to, that they should be able to make their request and apply...then wait their turn outside the border of the US. Currently, the illegal entry families may be separated but they are living quite well within US borders on the backs of American taxpayers. Shelter, food, medical care, etc. expenses will not come out of their pockets.
I feel empathy for their struggle and desire to come to America. I also have sympathy for my current fellow Americans who are in need of shelter, food, and medical care. Naturally, my focus will be on my own family first...then, my community, county, state, country, world...in that order. An outward spiral continues to grow. If you reverse the process, ultimately it will completely implode and everyone suffers.

Are the asylum seekers entering legally?
That really is a question I'd like an answer too.
If they enter illegally isn't that a crime?
Or are we in a situation where we have to admit ANYONE and ALL, seeking to enter at Border Crossings claiming asylum?
And if that is the case..............just how F'd up is THAT!

Do we now dishonor those who have died in the past to free countries, and people who suffered from this? Ignore the rule of law and that of simple basic human dignity and human rights, the very ideas that the US put forth and help create so long ago? Is the very ideas and sacrifices of our forefathers, so cheap that we can choose to ignore it, to no longer be the beacon that was set up so long ago?

Seeking asylum go to an embassy and apply. Running across a border illegally you get arrested. Quit trying to manipulate the law. It is the law and they broke it. Now if you are so concerned donate ten percent of your income to care for them. Their own countries could give a S#&t for them. Why are you not raising hell over treatment in their own countries. Sick and tired of armchair liberals spending everyone else's hard earned money. We need to take care of our own.

Wah.
Don't bring your kids here illegally then.
Problem solved!
Whew.
that was tough!
Now lets fix the economy.
1) That doesn't solve the problem. It's just your wish. As we all know about things like drugs, prostitution, and gambling deterrence punishments aren't solutions to anything and people will do them anyways. They just function as a way for wannabe hardasses to feel self-smug about "fixing" a problem.
2) Seeking asylum isn't breaking the law and those families are being broken up too.
3) Adhering to the law doesn't mean we have to be immorall douches about the process.

None of the illegal aliens are asylum seekers. If they entered illegally, they didn't apply for anything. We just call them that because that's what the MSM is calling them.
