Open border advocates quietly secured a legal victory after U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon ruled that Customs and Border Protection agents were not sufficiently trained to conduct an initial screening of asylum applications.

The U.S.-Mexico border remains largely shuttered by the coronavirus — including asylum requests, which are suspended. However, Leon’s decision could significantly hinder the Trump administration’s attempt to limit the arrival of asylum seekers once the status quo at the border returns. (Hot Air)

You can get a sense of the level of judicial seriousness on display here by noting that Judge Richard J. Leon actually used the word “Poppycock” with an exclamation point in the text of his ruling. He determined that the two to five weeks of training that CBP employees receive when learning to conduct asylum interviews is insufficient compared to the six to nine weeks of training given to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services workers.

The report notes that Judge Leon is a Bush 43 appointee, presumably offering that as evidence that this wasn’t some sort of partisan maneuver. In response to that, I’ll simply note that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Robers was also appointed by W, and we’ve all seen how that’s been working out lately.

Judge Leon goes on to opine that CPB agents are not likely to conduct screenings in a “nonadversarial manner” as required by law. I assume he means to imply that USCIS employees are less adversarial by default? That’s a rather leaping bit of generalization, isn’t it? Citizenship and Immigration Services employees are also charged with ensuring that only those with valid claims are allowed entry into the country. Otherwise, why bother screening anyone at all? The entire process is “adversarial” when looked at in that light.

Similarly, CBP officers are obliged to allow people through the border who are legally entitled to cross. Both positions require a degree of both convivial and adversarial attitudes depending on the circumstances. The deeper you go into the judge’s decision, the more it seems that the word “poppycock” could be applied to this ruling more appropriately than current White House policies on asylum screening. Or perhaps we should say “malarky?”

    1. What would anyone expect? After all, the Bush family is a family of NWO globalists. That’s why any decision made by John Roberts does not surprise us. Globalists have to do what they have to do.

      1. And one of the things they HAVE to do is answer to God. No getting around it. They many not believe in God. That is not important. What IS important is if God believes in them.

    2. STARTING WITH SENIOR WALKER BUSH AND HIS “1000 POINTS OF LIGHT” / “NEW WORLD ORDER” OF LUCIFERION DECREE!!
      THIS WAS THE FROGBOIL PROCESS TO INSERT WITH GREAT INTENT LIBERAL AND LAWLESS AND ANTi-CONSTITUTIONAL PEOPLES AND POLICY!
      *****”THIS WAS A CONQUER FROM WITHIN” AT IT’S START!*******

      1. Senior was in charge of the CIA when JFK was killed. Senior was in Dallas that day. And JFK was in the process of abolishing the CIA. So Senior abolished him.

  1. So how much training do you need to determine that someone that is coming from Guatemala and traveled the entire length of the Country of Mexico and was offered asylum in Mexico and now say they are seeking refuge from persecution in Guatemala is just a bunch of Poppycock?

    1. You don’t have to have a rational mind. You don’t have to be logical or make sense to be a corrupt federal judge and face the WRATH OF GOD.

    2. Did I not read asking for asylum must be done in the first country they come to? SOOOOO come thru Mexico from another country, YOU STAY IN MEXICO! I know laws are to be broken buy a chosen few????????????????

  2. Oh great another reprobate judge. It will be overturned. These morons cannot be over ruled enough. Stupidity has no boundaries or borders. It is rampant in the courtrooms of America.

  3. He really hates us. What about your oath, defending us from foreign and domestic enemies? What do you think the border is for? What an ingrate. Fire him!!!

    1. Remember Bill Clinton. Typical LAWYER. None of what you have said makes any difference to a lawyer. It is ALL about how you DEFINE terms.
      The Bible tells you this. IN THE LAST DAYS, THEY WILL SAY THAT GOOD IS BAD AND THAT BAD IS GOOD.
      Remember how that at his funeral, John McCain was declared as such a wonderful good guy??????

  4. This judge is a fool and has no idea what he’s talking about.I think maybe this fool needs some extra training because apparently he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

  5. SCREW THIS FOUL JUDGE HERE ON THIS IMMAGRATION ACT! PLAYING ILLEGAL POLITICS IN TRUMP’S WALL PROJECT AND THE BORDER PATROL ENFORCEMENT WITH A IDIOTIC RANT AGAINST SECURING THE BORDER!

  6. Well, Leon is a communist traitor and will be ignored or better yet, no asylum seekers will be allowed in our country until all agents are properly trained, which should take at least “four more
    years”!

  7. Tell this judge to go fk himself, he has his head up his arse, evidently he doesn’t know the law, as most of these radical judges, are bias jackasses, and need to be removed for stupidity.

  8. We all know that these asylum seekers are coached on what to say. I have never heard who arranged these massive caravans of people who were not looking for safety but a free ride. I suspect it was the Democrats with an intention of making Trump look bad as to how he handled it. Safety means getting away from danger. Be that 20 miles or 100 miles. Safety does not mean they have to travel 2000 miles. Why don’t they travel the other direction…to Costa Rica. Lots of Americans retire there. Could it be that they give no free benefits? The brand of safety they require is that that so many others they have heard about are getting. Guaranteed food and shelter…no one starves in the USA regardless of your lack of education of skills. Once you find some sort of way to make a living, it will be supplemented by the tax payers to make sure you have enough get by much better than were you came from with lots of benefits normally for citizens only. They have changed out way of life. Now we have fruit and Popsicle carts (just like they do in their country) on the sidewalk that is supposed to be for pedestrians, not businesses. This is exactly what they did in their own country only without the extra benefits provided here free of charge. Where I live is now 50% Latino and 10% of the total is illegal. 25% white, 10% Asian and 10% black. Who do you suppose pays 85% of the taxes?

  9. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!! How much training does it take? There should be a list of questions. If they don’t have enough “correct” answers they don’t get in.

  10. This is simple. Just DON’T end the shut down of the border. Leave it closed as long as there is ONE MORE CASE OF CORONA in the United States. Let that crooked, corrupt liberal judge choke on that.
