Illegal entry is illegal entry. I don't know what you're talking about. There is no exemption for asylum seekers.
>This is probably what 45 is referring to when he talks about a "loophole" in immigration law
The loophole is that the Trump administration is enforcing an existing law that was not enforced by previous administrations. You're advocating for following the precedent set by previous administrations and simply ignore the law again.
>and why he feels politically safe asking for a legislative rather than executive solution.
But it should be a legislative solution. It is a bad law that was made worse by the ninth circuit interpretation. If 1/10th of the pressure that is levied on Trump was put on Congress, this law would be changed already.
The fact that Democrats in Congress are now using this for political gains is incredibly distasteful. [1]
