Original Note:
The author’s claim that these migrants crossed “illegally” is false. Under US law migrants have the right to cross the border and apply for asylum at a port of entry. The fact that they are being processed by CBP demonstrates that they are acting lawfully https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/five-things-to-know-about-the-right-to-seek-asylum https://www.rescue.org/article/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum https://www.congress.gov/bill/96th-congress/senate-bill/643
