Here is another great Trumpian idea: Stop judging asylum claims. Pilot program begins in two weeks.

Border Patrol agents will soon add asylum officer to their list of duties, according to agents who say they are about to be part of a pilot program aimed at trying to speed up the processing of illegal immigrants.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the pilot program will begin in two weeks, with agents deputized to begin hearing “credible fear” claims lodged by migrants who say they need protection in the U.S.
The move is part of the Department of Homeland Security’s push to deploy as many resources as
possible to try to stem the flow of migrants that is overwhelming the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mr. Judd, an agent himself, said the pilot program will mean more work for agents but over time should help reduce fraudulent asylum claims, which will mean fewer people overall crossing into the U.S. illegally.
“The short-run cost of additional responsibilities and duties, yes, initially it will strain us. But in the long run, it will pay huge dividends and it will allow us to control illegal immigration from here going forward,” he said.
