'Seeking asylum is a legal right': Democratic Presidential candidate Cory Booker causes controversy by helping immigrants in Mexico return to the US after they were deported as he is slammed for 'breaking the law'

Corey Booker, 50, visited the Mexican border city Ciudad Juarez from El Paso, Texas, to help escort five women into the US after they had previously been sent back to Mexico.
He was joined by immigration rights attorneys and advocates to get the women, who are fleeing domestic violence, admitted back into the US.
The Senator caused controversy with his actions, with people accusing him of breaking the law.
They claimed that the candidate appeared to be in violation of a law which prohibits 'bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized people into the United States in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry'.
EDITOR’S NOTE; Fleeing to keep from getting beat up by their husbands does not qualify as grounds for asylum.
Booker should now be required to take the five women to his New Jersey home and care for them there.
