In this article, Immigration lawyers show disagreement with Trump’s proposed plan for reopening the government. They find the supposed compromise to be more harmful than helpful. It is believed that it will cause unaccompanied minors to have a harder time to seek asylum.

After reading this article helped me understand some of the complexities of Trump’s plan. While it seems like he tried to make it more helpful for central american children to seek asylum by providing centers to do so, but it bars them from going to the U.S border to do it. Which creates problems for some, along with decreasing the amount of asylum acceptances. Learning about the how unaccompanied minors present themselves in court and in front of border control is frustrating. A child at the border can easily be turned away from the asylum process if the interviewer doesn’t feel like it’s vital enough. Border patrol is also allowed to turn them away before they even apply for asylum, leaving kids at risk of danger returning home.
