1. That is the way the current system and laws work

They claimed asylum when they entered and were permitted to stay pending due process and a hearing. Due to the enormous backlog, it took a few years for their claim to be adjudicated, but they got due process. Like the majority of asylum claims, it was ultimately denied, and under the law, they are to be deported back to their country of origin.

What is the alternative? Let everyone who says the word asylum when entering to stay permanently regardless of the outcome? If that's the case, there is no longer any reason to even have asylum hearings.
