Regardless what the MSM & Dems have been spouting, President Trump has the full legal authority to prohibit any alien from entering this country if any aliens or "class of aliens" is deemed a threat. In this case, the threat is illegal attempts to cross the border without due process and not through the ports of entry. The Caravan trying to crash the port of entry constitutes a threat in which the President has the legal authority to prohibit entry and to authorize the military defense of the border as his constitutional responsibility.
8 US Code § 1182 - Inadmissible Aliens
"(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."
I have heard the MSM cast aspersions on POTUS, that he is not authorized to deter aliens from seeking asylum. This is totally bogus and is Fake News. The MSM is stating that we have to let them in the country because they are seeking asylum, but any alien that illegally crosses the border forfeits their claim for asylum, especially if they have rejected another country's offer of asylum. The narrative that I have heard is that the US has to take in any and all. This is just incorrect.
BTW, granting asylum is rare and has to be proven. If the members of the Caravan have been paid and motivated to migrate from inside the country from where they imparted, it does not constitute a rationale for asylum. Economic hardship does not constitute a reason for asylum.
