One of Trump's statements he said the Mexican government was sending these undesirables. If the government was sending them, it must be providing them with documentation to enter. That would cover both types.

Many of those people hid their passports once here and told border patrol they were from Mexico ... so when they were sent back they were not held and sent back "home"! Many of them from south of Mexico were actually trying to reach Canada, which for years allowed "asylum" from persecution and execution in the 80's, but the U.S. did not from LA countries.
To that extent Trump is accurate .. in that the Mexican government has "allowed" the flow of people into this country for decades.... unvetted and unidentified. Since the government does little for poor people, it is in their best interest and the governments to "allow" them to come to the U.S. where "compassionate" liberals will allow them to suck off the government tit....and if a bunch of murderers and rapists sneak in .... good riddance.... they don't want them back.... and apparently the "compassionate" liberals don't care!!!!!
