Except Mexico already offered people in the caravan asylum...yet the vast majority rejected it, which means that if this were the E.U. they would have already been shut out before they even arrived at the U.S. border. You shouldn't get to shop around like Moses looking for the land of milk and honey.
The legal challenge is going to probably be whether or not the caravan is considered mostly comprised of legit asylum seekers or not, because if they were "seeking asylum", why not take up Mexico's support when it was offered freely a month ago? Education, jobs, security: that was all on the table but very few took them up on it.
