To hear Pres. Trump tell it, reducing migration into the U.S. is all about political will. But several legal experts tell ABC News his to-do list on immigration is hugely unrealistic.

President Donald Trump greets Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen after he arrived at Naval Air Facility El Centro, in El Centro, Calif., Friday April 5, 2019.," Trump told reporters last week. "They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn’t work. And, frankly, we should get rid of judges. You can't have a court case every time somebody steps their foot on our ground."is hugely unrealistic. The bulk of his agenda requires congressional action.

Under U.S. and international law, people have the right to approach the border and claim asylum. To change that, Trump would need to do two things: convince Congress to change the law and withdraw from an international agreement thatUndocumented migrants wait for asylum hearings outside of the port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico, June 18, 2018.

Trump tried to get around this mandate with “zero tolerance,” a policy that detained the adult and put the child in government custody. But he was forced to backtrack amid a public outcry and federal court ruling ordering that the families be reunited. A California judge blocked the policy Monday following a law suit from advocacy organizations representing migrants who had been returned in recent months. The decision centered on the abrupt implementation of the policy that violated administrative procedures which require more planning and deliberation before a policy can go into effect.

“They should have been doing this a year ago," Krikorian said. "It needs to be rolled out across the border and apply to more people.”Legally, Trump’s best option is probably trying to stop people from coming in the first place. His administration, under Nielsen, has proposed encouraging people to apply for asylum while they are still living in their home country.

We all know the anti white WANT it to be unrealistic, but i hope trump gets it done, or we'll end up having to take matters into our own hands.

It's either anti immigration or the legislators are probably going to have to take a 'pay cut'. America's social Infrastructure can't afford the medical bills-foreign organized drug crime and ARC(aids related complex) which primarily-that's what southern hemisphere immigration is

Yes and Americans don’t take on hard things... like the whole ridding the world of the nazis..

realDonaldTrump will have until 2024 to get it done.

WHAT LEGAL EXPERTS. FAKE NEWS

So far he’s been great at hurdles put up by leftist sheep

This is where both political parties have brought this country. They didn't fix the immigration policy when they had the chance. 'A pox on both their houses'.

This walking talking human garbage doesn’t give a damn about the border. But it’s a winning issue with his racist base so whatever it takes to keep them on board. Even if it means taking kids from their parents, some to never be reunited, put in cages and abused. Sick!

The problem with realDonaldTrump desperation at the border: he knows if his MAGA base didn't believe that he delivered at the border, hi will loose 2020 election. But his apprentice handling at the border will hurt the GOP in the long run.

dems' illegals-message: 'welcome illegals, illegally cross our borders n bring ur children too; once in the usa, we will reward u w/catch n release, loophole laws, non-enforcement of our laws, n citizenship.' its dems' sale of america for votes.

Yeah and he couldn’t beat Hillary. y’all have ZERO credibility. Just stop, your embarrassing yourself

He don't know that. His brain don't work right anymore. To old

How much you want to bet your supposedly legal experts are Democrats & Trump haters.

Gee there’s a shocker

Unrealistic? What was unrealistic is what Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama didn't do that was unrealistic

BOOM!!!!

Several Legal Experts Of Liberal World. If President says he can do it he will unlike the slitherings.

ABC pathetic news reporting

Usually

Legal immigration in measured numbers that fulfill a need is fine. Unfettered illegal migration hurts the native population that so called politicians swore an oath to protect.

Illegal.. racist...

Seems like no matter what realDonaldTrump does, is always a legal issue..... no wonder he cheats on golf so much.

Entrance to God's kingdom has been reduced and the only place available for the ungodly Trump is Satan's hell. Matthew 19:23-24.

Abc biased leftist propaganda Fake News.

Trump is losing what marbles he still had. Such a shame to witness. 😉

Is unrealistic a new euphemism for illegal?

So basically who cares what the American people want and voted for DC prefers to help corporations exploit migrants and screw over citizens at the same time.

Opinion is not news

There is nothing realistic about him other than being a hardcore fraud since conception.

How many do we take. . 30mil. . . 50mil. ..70mil. ..90mil. ..99,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000mil ... when are we allowed to say NO MORE ?

All those refugees are pouring in because Trump cut humanitarian aid down there last fall. This whole mess is a huge false flag mess Trump orchestrated and tax payers have to clean up... again.

Only Black, Brown and Muslim people are restricted from coming into the United States, by any means necessary. The Chinese and Europeans have a free pass. Let's just tell it like it is.

Of course it's unrealistic. T does not live in the real world. In T's world his wish is our command. He actually has no expectation of, or desire for, any given outcome. He merely wants to control.

Enforcement of the laws on the books and a wall will do.

The media thinks we need to just sit back and accept being overrun by 3rd world populations.

Irish, Italians, Germans, Eastern Europeans how did they all get here, No visas needed on Ellis Island, now it depends on the color you wear. Drumpf, Knavs and Zelnikova were immigrants, possibly illegal too, Sanchez, Garcia, Nunes, Rubio and Cruz are not animals from the zoo.

No worries, Congress is the opposite of progress. They’ll fix it.

One of many reasons he's gone gangbusters appointing as many federal judges he has in the last two years.

Elections have consequences. Now we effectively have open borders as long as you bring a child.
