just read the CNN article and they speak to a mother and child that have been in the US since 2002.  Mother doesn't speak english and child is american born.  Love the USA but dont see a future under that administration.  One example of course and every person has their own circumstances.  However I dont see in anyway how this qualifies for asylum.  Walking across from the US through non-official access points is a loophole although advocates for refugees defend the UN Charter that requires us to accept them until a decision is made on their status, something that would not happen at a official border crossing. . The government also spent considerable time and money to come up with a formal refugee program for Syrians.  I am a compassionate Canadian and supported that although I dont think we costed it out properly.  However what soon can become a similar number of individuals can just cross from a safe country.  To me this is a loophole - close it.
