They are not "unauthorized aliens". These are refugees that are attempting to go through the asylum process.

Even if they are not refugees it is most likely illegal to transport people (yes, they're still people) without their consent or if their consent is secured with falsehoods or pressure.

When did we stop seeing people as people that are due respect and assistance?
