New observation based on interview with Homeland Security Sec. Nielsen After watching an interview with Sec. Nielsen, I realized that there has been a major change in the situation with the current migrant caravan.  This time, Mexico is cooperating with us.    They offered asylum to all those qualifying under international law and while a few took advantage of that offer, most did not.  They then pushed their way into Mexico and rather than using force to expel them, Mexico allowed them to continue through their territory toward the United States. Once they reach our border they will cross without permission and we will not use force to stop them.  Once on our soil, the large group will break up.   They will then just be individuals fitting into two categories with different goals.   Category 1:  No Asylum claim to advance.  This will consist mostly of previous deportees, criminals, and young,  single men.  Individually, or in small groups, they will attempt to escape capture but with the extra manpower being assembled, should be apprehended quickly and under existing law deported rather quickly. Category 2:  Asylum claim advanced.  This group will consist of men and women with or without children who want to present an asylum claim.  They will voluntarily turn themselves in to authorities and attempt to present their claim.  In contrast to previous instances, they will be reminded that Mexico offered asylum and that under international law, their claim must be processed in that jurisdiction.  In accordance with existing agreement, they will be immediately transferred in small controllable groups to Mexico to have their asylum claim processed.  Under Mexican law, the claims will be processed rapidly and probably 99.9999 percent will be denied.   Those with denied claims will be deported by Mexico, not the United States.  Those claims approved will be settled in Mexico.  We will have complied with both international law and United States Law.   Both us and Mexico will have avoided the inevitable public outcry from the use of force to stop the invasion and liberals will be denied their planned confrontation.  Word should spread quickly and as long as Mexico can be kept on board, these caravans should stop.  Mexico will be appropriately rewarded, probably through trade agreements.  (The Art of the Deal)
