Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson has repeatedly emphasized to me in private as well as publicly the need to change this law and to establish a more efficient system of removal to ones home country. To be sure. there are going to be valid claims for asylum. If someone is a victim of human trafficking. they can get a T visa. they call it. so they can cooperate with law enforcement in the United States. If you are like the young boy whom I saw in McAllen. TX. 2 weeks agoI asked him where his parents were. He said they were dead. That young boy could qualify for a special immigrant visa as a minor child having been abandoned or who is an orphan. So there are ways valid claims for relief can be processed. but right now these claims are not being made because people are just melting into the great American landscape. and they keep coming. So Jeh Johnson understands this.
