Compromise? Use the Shutdown to Provide Leverage for Justice

  If we would end the government shutdown, offer this compromise:
  Give President Trump his $5.7 billion for a fence. In exchange, make him promise to give justice to the migrants. He must promise to provide all the immigration judges necessary to process the refugees applications. No more holding it to 60 applications a day at a border entry where 100,000 other people are processed across on a daily basis.
   Justice deferred is justice denied, it is said. If President Trump sees it as a crisis that people are coming across the border without permission, then direct him to the thought that it is also a crisis when our country cannot provide timely court cases as are called for in our Constitution.
   If he wants his $5.7 billion, and since asking for justice is not a thing you should  reject, anyway, he will have to agree to grant the migrants their right to have their cases processed in due fashion. If he is honest in wanting to allow legal migration, he will agree to this compromise. And if, per chance, the truth is he is designing to subvert their ability to come by limiting how many of them are processed, he will not be able to publicly admit it. He cannot reject a compromise such as this and save face.
  So, pledge him to man the ports of entry with all the officers and judges necessary to process the applications as quickly as they can be processed.
  No more having the initial hearing being only an excuse to schedule a hearing six months down the road. If you do not like it that the immigrants leave the hearing and disappear into society, don't think you have to wait the hearing for six months. Instead of avoiding their disappearing into the communities by placing them in detention centers, simply process their applications right then. Have the court's decision at the earliest possible juncture. Justice and fair play demand no less.
  And, place in this compromise a commitment to accept all refugees who qualify. If they are being persecuted in their home countries due to belonging to a social group not in favor with government or crime or societal elements there, grant them entry into our land. That is what our law calls for, and we believe in rule of law. 
   This government shutdown impasse should be used as leverage to provide that which we should be providing, anyway: justice for the immigrant.
