You all would be better served if you just came out and said you are wanting the process of asylum to stop in the usa.

If the government won't guard the border, then the people should. They should organize some kind of a border watch group that doesn't confront the illegals, but send reports to the border patrol in the area. Take notes and pictures, give descriptions of people and vehicles, even make reports on what ICE does and send the reports to higher management and representatives. Then if nothing gets done about it, make all kinds of noise in every available media.

You always make me laugh.I imagine you sitting with phone in one hand and waving the other vertically, virtually signaling your superior attitude, yep it's legal, just like no knock warrents are legal. Doesn't make either acceptable, but you knew that. Or not.
I feel certain you also know the stats on how many actually get legal asylum, and how many are using a loop hole.
Don't tell me, I presume you also think President Trump is a tax cheat too.
Loop holes for everyone but citizens of the USA, yay

Surprise surprise. NM Latina Democrat governor pulls NG ahead of Trump's rally. And, CA is going to do the opposite always from what Trump advises.
Governors are not privy to some of the national security information that a POTUS may know.
Impeding the free-flow of drugs by the cartels, and limiting human trafficking and smuggling rings might be a detriment to certain politicians' pocketbooks, donor money and additional "perks" that come with pushing an open border or weak border policy.

You really don't have all the pieces.
See the poster's comments below yours.
Most asylum seekers are denied. Their reasons aren't acceptable.
If they are denied then they should be deported. However it is legal for them to try. Until it is not legal for them to try then wall or no wall will not stop them.
This is not really hard concept.

wait, so you can break in, and after, claim that you didn't just cross the border at an unapproved location without consent of the US Customs and Border Patrol? I get that claiming Asylum is a thing, but it doesn't change the part where they crossed illegally. If you disagree, bring links, not tears.

Illegal entry is the act of foreign nationals arriving in or crossing the borders into a country in violation of its immigration law. Migrants from nations that do not have automatic visa agreements, or who would not otherwise qualify for a visa, often cross the borders illegally in some areas like the United States–Mexico border, the Mona Channel between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, the Strait of Gibraltar, Fuerteventura, and the Strait of Otranto. These methods are often dangerous: migrants have been known to suffocate in shipping containers,[1] boxcars[2] and trucks,[3] sink in shipwrecks caused by unseaworthy vessels[4] or die of dehydration[5] or exposure during long walks without water.[6]
United States border entry rules tightened in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, and visitors from other countries must present a valid passport or other approved travel document when crossing the U.S. border by air. Those crossing the U.S. border by land or sea typically are not required to present a passport, but must show documentation of some kind (depending on such factors as country of origin and immigration status). This article highlights the basic border entry rules for those crossing into the U.S., including information for U.S. citizens; legal permanent residents ("green card" holders); citizens of Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda; visitors from other countries; and participants in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Trusted Traveler Programs for low-risk visitors. See "Crossing the Border" for more information and links to government resources and FindLaw articles.

Ok someone tell me how this works? Cali sends National Guard to the border, things get a little better. Now both California and New Mexico want
to pull all the troops.
Trump says he wants to send additional troops to the border. How does that work? Can Trump make them go, does he have to declare a national emergency in order to use them?
Also, I feel for the National Guard. They are being played like chess pawns. I thank them for their service fully.

If Trump's sending troops down there, then there's no need for the National Guard down there. They'd just run into conflict over who's supposed to guard what and do what when and where.
Makes sense to pull them and send them elsewhere in the state.
