I send him my thoughts and prayers. Seems to be the generic response to any real crisis, so lets apply it to fake ones.

DACA is in the courts now, multiple cases all kinds of cases. Asylum claims are processed daily. What is due process for immigrants? Green card applications are processed daily, and if they are approved they can get on a plane and fly to the USA. Some cases they can drive or take a bus. So no none of what you suggest would do anything for the Rancher.

ICE and CBP are blocking asylum applications at legal points of entry.

Wrong. LEGAL points of entry under international law are the closest border points from the country in which an asylum seeker is retreating. For these people in the caravan, that would be southern Mexico, or central american countries. Not the USA.
