at the border and if they do get across the line then put them in cages. That is not what the law says.

Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Stalin, Duarte, Putin, and similar people do those kinds of things, NOT the United States.

First it may be cages, and when does trump decide they are costing too much and it's time to thin them out? He's the chosen one, don't you know?

As a rule, people who think they are the King of Israel, the Chosen One etc. usually are ready for a white jacket with the sleeves fastened at the back, then put in a padded room so they don't hurt themselves.

It really is a necessity on their part. Very similar to the passengers of the MS St Louis.

for those seeking asylum? Locking them up in concentration camps is not part of that legal framework. Not sure how you think parsing differences makes this OK?
