南部边境的问题是申请人太多，政府资源有限，但现行法律没有限制申请人数

申请政治庇护的过程是：

 

A detailed step-by-step procedure for handling a typical asylum case after a border encounter involves:

1. Encounter: Individuals encountered at the border are detained for initial processing.
2. Expressing Fear: Those expressing fear of return to their country are referred for a credible fear interview.
3. Credible Fear Interview: Conducted by an asylum officer to determine if there's a significant possibility of persecution if returned.
4. Decision: If they pass, they can apply for asylum in immigration court; if not, they face removal.
5. Awaiting Hearing: Individuals may await their court date within the U.S., sometimes with conditions like monitoring.
6. Immigration Court: A judge hears the case; if granted asylum, they may stay in the U.S.; if denied, they may be deported.

在美国等待开庭

在等待法院判决是批准还是拒绝申请的时候，政府可以关着申请人，也可以假释申请人。 下面两条法律一条说明了政府可以关，也需要关，另一条说明了基于其他的考虑是可以假释的。现在南部边境最大的问题是，在边境申请政治庇护的人太多，政府没有足够的资源去关这些人，只好基于公共利益选择假释一些人。 

8 USC $1225(b)(B)(ii)

(ii)Referral of certain aliens

If the officer determines at the time of the interview that an alien has a credible fear of persecution (within the meaning of clause (v)), the alien shall be detained for further consideration of the application for asylum.

8 USC § 1182(d)(5)(A) 规定政府可以假释这些人。

(5)(A) The Attorney General may, except as provided in subparagraph (B) or in section 1184(f) of this title, in his discretion parole into the United States temporarily under such conditions as he may prescribe for emergent reasons or for reasons deemed strictly in the public interest any alien applying for admission to the United States, but such parole of such alien shall not be regarded as an admission of the alien and when the purposes of such parole shall, in the opinion of the Attorney General, have been served the alien shall forthwith return or be returned to the custody from which he was paroled and thereafter his case shall continue to be dealt with in the same manner as that of any other applicant for admission to the United States.

 

在墨西哥等待开庭

Trump 实行的MPP是让这些人回到Mexico等待法庭开庭的日子。 但MPP总共只发送大约七万人去墨西哥等待，对现在的上百万人的政治庇护申请是杯水车薪。 而且该政策导致了不少的人权问题，墨西哥政府也不愿意继续支持这政策，该政策被Biden在2022年最高法院裁定后停止。 但我认为，如果能够解决人权问题，并且能够得到墨西哥政府的配合，倒不失为一个可行的办法。
