Hello Kurt,

 LL>> Former congressman Beto O'Roarke is advocating the existing wall
 LL>> between the US and Mexico be torn down, due to the number of deaths
 LL>> over the past ten years.  IOW, he is claiming that over 4,000 people
 LL>> (men, women and children) have died over the past ten years because
 LL>> they had to travel through desolate terrain in order to get to the
 LL>> USA so as to apply for asylum.

 KW> As far as I know, you need to travel through one of the border crossings
in
 KW> order to request assylum.

You have to cross the border.  Not necessarily through one of the
border crossings, or port of entry.  Once here, an individual can
request asylum.

 KW> I don't have any answers for this, but seeing disregard for human life
 KW> doesn't suit us as a country. Watching ICE pouring out bottles of water
 KW> left for border crossers? Unconscionable. I couldn't imagine the mindset
of
 KW> someone who could do that.

The Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy is inhuman, and
should never have been implemented in the first place.
