Another judge tries to pry open the southern border

We haven't heard all that much in the news lately about the illegal immigration issues on the southern border.

This is most likely due to the fact that the border is essentially closed due to the pandemic anyway.

There are still legal battles brewing thanks to the open borders crowd, and yet another of those came to a temporary conclusion this week.

A judge in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ruled yesterday that Customs and Border Protection agents were not qualified to perform screenings for asylum applicants arriving at the U.S. and Mexico border.

A federal judge on Monday blocked U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees from conducting the initial screening for people seeking asylum, dealing a setback to one of the Trump administration's efforts to rein in asylum.

CBP officers are obliged to allow people through the border who are legally entitled to cross.

If traffic volumes at the border begin to surge again in the fall and winter, this could come back to bite us.
