They can't apply for asylum in the USA until they are physically in the USA. How are we supposed to assist them with an application here?

They're not cattle, they're people. If they chose to go to the USA, that's not the same as us "sending" them.

What if there's a large number of them trying to do it all the time? What if they're setting off in the middle of the night? Should we turn our beaches into an armed camp to stop them, or is it enough that we just stop the ones we can catch?

Is patrolling the waters going to stop 100% of them from getting out to sea?

And btw, do you think France just emptied the English channel of any French ships? Or do you think that they patrol it, but if they see a dinghy crossing they wave it through?
