Defensive Asylum Processing with EOIR


A defensive application for asylum occurs when you request asylum as a defense against removal from the U.S. For asylum processing to be defensive, you must be in removal proceedings in immigration court with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).

Individuals are generally placed into defensive asylum processing in one of two ways:·

  • They are referred to an Immigration Judge by USCIS after they have been determined to be ineligible for asylum at the end of the affirmative asylum process, or
  • They are placed in removal proceedings because they:
    • Were apprehended (or caught) in the United States or at a U.S. port of entry without proper legal documents or in violation of their immigration status,
      OR
    • Were caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) trying to enter the United States without proper documentation, were placed in the expedited removal process, and were found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture by an Asylum Officer. See Questions & Answers: Credible Fear Screenings for more information on the Credible Fear Process.
Immigration Judges hear defensive asylum cases in adversarial (courtroom-like) proceedings. The judge will hear arguments from both of the following parties:

  • The individual (and his or her attorney, if represented)·
  • The U.S. Government, which is represented by an attorney from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
 
This child separation issue is getting on my nerves, not only the imagery, but the game of political football going on. On one hand, I can't help but have sympathy for the children at the center of this debacle. I can't help but feel great anger towards the parents who chose to send their children thousands of miles north from Central America to the southern border, alone. On the other hand I want the law to be enforced. Sympathy should simply take a back seat. I find this conundrum troubling because both sides make valid points. This whole thing feels wrong to me.

So, what should be done?
Why do you think these kids came here alone?

If Trump had a heart, let alone a political brain, he would have sent judges to the border to hear asylum cases. At the very least he should permit asylum seekers to actually ask for asylum nefore branding them as 'criminals'. We could detain the parents alongside their child Loren thus alleviating the separation trauma unnecessary to enforce the law.

By being as,cruel as possible, he is telling his shrinking base that, yes indeed, he is tough on border security. Should congress, rightfully, deny him the money for his wall (remember how Mexico was going to pay for it?) at least Trump could still strut and blame congress and Democrats and anyone else he wants to blame. After all, he and his supporters think he is infallible and they all need someone to blame.
Came here alone ??? The children ? If we have children without parents here, then they sure are in a good place from what I've seen.

So which is it, are they alone here or do they have parents here for whom brought them here ??

My idea is still the same if they have parents here, and that idea is to keep the mother and child together, but the dad must be separated and charged. Then they all should be deported quickly. If the mother with child or children seeks asylum then ok, but only temporarily until deported back home to a safe place. No rewarding of illegal crossings period.
What about a hearing before a magistrate to determine asylum?
 
It's their fault and Mexico's fault.
I like the way you absolve the US of any culpability for the situation in their home countries after the US has spent decades destabilising them.
Thank you. Bomb them.

No. Don't bomb anyone. Sanction them if you must. Hit them with trade tariffs. This is not worth starting a war over.

(Is it?)
They are attacking us daily. Bomb them.

"NIELSEN: So I want to be clear on a couple of other things. The vast majority, vast, vast majority of children who are in the care of H.H.S. right now — 10,000 of the 12,000 — were sent here alone by their parents. That is when they were separated. So somehow we’ve conflated everything. But there is two separate issues. 10,000 of those currently in custody were sent by their parents with strangers to undertake a completely dangerous and deadly travel alone."

Note: "sent by their parents with strangers"

Good enough?

I like the way you absolve the US of any culpability for the situation in their home countries after the US has spent decades destabilising them.

First they leave their country, then they enter the Mexican southern border and allowed through, then they traverse through Mexico, many of times they are killed, die and are raped and kidnapped along the way BEFORE THEY REACH OUR BORDER.

How else can I help you with this?

So, what should be done?

Answer is simple and Congress should do it job and stop allowing the President to do their job because this is not a dictatorship no matter what some wish!

Congress has failed to address this issue many times and Democrats from 2009 - 2011 could have fixed this problem and diverted this issue but as usual Pelosi, Reid and Obama did not care enough back then but now demand the opposition party to do what they ( Democrats ) failed to do.

So what is the solution and what should Congress do?

Immigration Reform and if so and the GOP passes it you and I know it will be suicide for the GOP in a already heated 2018 mid-term election.

Focus a bill on this crisis only?

Fixes nothing at all...

So what should be done?

Those that want President Trump to do what Obama did, well it still does not fix anything and Congress must do it job for once even when the job is unpopular and you could get fired during this next election...

One parent should be restored custody of the child or children (preferably the mother), and this until all are prossesed and deported safely out of the country. No illegal entry should be rewarded as it only encourages more and more. They must all be deported together. No woman or child should be criminalized for illegal entry, but the father should take the penalty. Even so they all (the family), must be deported together.

What if the mother is abusive? If this were to happen I think the child should choose who he or she goes with. Then I think there’s a better chance that child will be in good hands, though it’s not infallible of course.
 
The US tries to dehumanize opponents by claiming they don't care about their children, and they use them as human shields.

Ask the Democrats, they are the ones using the children.

Hey ... Ask the Progressives how all of a sudden "Zero Tolerance Policies" are irrational, damaging and really suck ... :21:
