Greetings Jorge Rivera, Immigration Lawyer

The bottom line is that yes, one can apply for asylum at the borderbut there is no guarantee of what will happen with your asylumYou can be detained or deported, because what is happening at the border is Russian roulette.

Some people are letting them in, some people are deporting them, some people are sending them back through COVID-19. So, really it is a risk to go to the border and ask for asylum. If the family is willing to take that risk, it is at their own risk.

Asylum at the U.S. border

For example, the Federal Court has ordered the administration of Biden to send back to Mexico people who are waiting and applying for asylum, and to wait in Mexico for the outcome of their cases. However, Mexico does not want to receive the people that the U.S. sends back. So there is a conflict here between what the Court is ordering the Biden administration to do, and what they can actually do because of Mexico's response.

Recently, we all saw what happened at the river bridge: there were more than 10,000 people from Haiti waiting in a camp and were allowed to enter the camp. United States with conditions. This is not going to happen with all the people who present themselves at the border. With many, yes, but not with all.

The important thing is that the person is prepared, if he/she wants to request asylum, that he/she has the necessary documentationnot only in your person, but have a copy, an original in your country with family members in the United States.

Eventually, the goal is to get approved for asylum, to get a case approved and you can be legal, which at the border is the most common benefit that people can qualify for. So preparation is key. If you have family members who are coming to the border and want to apply for asylum let me know, write me a message.
