Assuming these new reports are true, this is definitely a good move. Let these shitholers stay in Mexico as their asylum requests are processed.
A new Trump administration policy would force migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico as their requests are processed, breaking sharply with current policy, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos obtained by The Post, asylum seekers would have to establish a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Mexico to be allowed to come to the U.S. while authorities review their asylum requests under the new policy, dubbed “Remain in Mexico.”
The policy could take effect as soon as Friday, two DHS officials familiar with the plans told The Post.
Under current screening policy, asylum seekers are generally allowed to remain in the U.S. while they await a hearing with an immigration judge if they have established a fear of returning to their home countries.
The White House and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Hill.
DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman issued a statement late Wednesday saying there were no immediate plans to implement the new policy.
“The President has made clear — every single legal option is on the table to secure our nation and to deal with the flood of illegal immigrants at our borders,” she said, according to the Pose.
The main reason why the entire asylum process is such a joke is because these invaders have been allowed to run free in the United States while their application is processed. This despite the fact that the vast majority of these asylum claims are found to be without merit. It’s just shitholers coming to America for economic reasons.
If Trump forces them to stay in Mexico as their requests get processed, this will effectively close this stupid loophole that has attracted these invaders in the first place.
