Why not fix those countries, then the need to migrate would not be required.

US was having some success with this approach with Central American countries, but then trump cancelled the aid programs. Go figure.

Most of these migrants don't qualify for asylum. Being poor is not a qualification for asylum.

    First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country. Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group.

Got it in one.... you don't like America don't try to illegally cross the border.
Throwing the "get over the fence & ask for asylum" doesn't cut it anymore!

How can a child be an economic migrant?

Their parents are ,so it is them that put them in danger and therefore they are to blame .
