Hold on. Placing razor wire on the border isn’t punishment. At least not in the conventional sense of the word. And deportation isn’t technically allowed without a hearing. Even detaining people on suspicion of illegal entry, they have to have a hearing within 48 hrs.

I was following you until this point.

P.S. the Biden administration promulgated rules effective this March which generally create a presumption of ineligibility for asylum for anybody crossing _through_ Mexico. CFR 208.33, [Reuters story](https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-appeals-court-says-biden-asylum-restrictions-border-can-stay-place-now-2023-08-04/).
