What should be done about the caravan of people coming to the U.S.
Migrants who present themselves at authorized border ports and request asylum are following the U.S. and international laws. They are not "illegal immigrants". However, based on his comments yesterday, President Trump is looking to reduce asylum in the U.S. by further narrowing the 'credible fear' criteria.

And, while migrants who enter the United States without authorization outside of authorized border ports are "illegal immigrants", they are still entitled to apply for asylum under international law. However, based on his comments yesterday, President Trump is looking to move away from adhering to that international law.

Those are the facts / laws of U.S. immigration and asylum as they stand today, whether one likes them or not.
