President Trump is pushing changes in immigration laws to make it easier to jail and quickly deport children who cross the border illegally. He also wants to make it harder to pursue asylum, the Wall Street Journal reports.
To him, these are legal loopholes that Congress needs to close to stop illegal immigration. But these proposals are even harder to enact than his controversial border wall, in the face of widespread Democratic and some Republican opposition.

Illegal immigration is a matter of demand not supply. It isn't about criminality that is the excuse.
You want to address illegal immigration...address the citizen disdain for taking jobs they think are beneath them. Address our party culture's need for exported narcotics. Address our business communities' addiction to cheap illegal labor.
