Actually, the title appears to be correct.
Not that President Trump caused the asylum seekers to come here.
but what his new policies did, by limiting the number of refugee seekers through the legal border crossings, reducing the number of custom officers at the border and Judges in our courts to process them instead of increasing them to handle the load, and making them wait months at the Mexican border to cross through the legal border crossings which have essentially been shut down, the desperate family refugee seekers, are being forced to cross over our borders outside of the legal border crossings.
Because of US Law, any asylum seeker crossing our border, whether it be through legal entry ports, or through crossing illegally outside of the border, by law, are allowed a hearing in immigration court to determine if the asylum seeker is a "refugee".
So shutting down the legal border crossing to them, as President Trump's policy has essentially done, is forcing them to hop the fence.
NOTE! That an asylum seeker, is NOT the same as an 'illegal'.
An "illegal" is a person crossing the border that is a citizen of any Nation that shares a BORDER with us.... so Mexicans and Canadians crossing the border outside of legal entry points are ILLEGALS.
But any person or family crossing our border outside of legal border crossings from a Country that does not share a border with us, is an ASYLUM SEEKER, and is given their chance in an Immigration Court, to become a legal Refugee.
So those families from Central America, which do not share a border with us, are Asylum seekers and they just need a big toe to cross our border, any which way, have to be given their day in court.
This is why they are crossing at illegal spots...
they would prefer to cross legally, at our legal border crossings, but if the the legal entry is essentially shut down to them, or they have to wait a very long time before the Trump admin allows them to cross with their children, they are finding other means to do such.
