QFT,
I am still trying to find a valid argument as to why this was attempted by the Dream 9 and can see the US now treating most applications of Asylum from Mexico as simply being frivolous[which they already do now in most cases].I don't think the US Government can stop the asylum process due to treaty obligations but I expect the Congress[especially House Republicans] might make it a lot more difficult considering the Tsarnaev plots and if there is a consistent increase in requests for US asylum at its ports.
I do believe there are some valid asylum cases like
this but considering the debate now focuses to the House this plays right into the hands of House border hawks especially when Gowdy mentioned about having strong anti-fraud measures for the 'Kids Act' which seems likely to be debated in the House Judiciary next month.
