In Mexico. Tent cities are a deterrent for others who may be considering doing the same. It takes at least three years to get a court hearing for asylum. The last guy allowed them into the country, detained them for a couple of weeks, then let them out into the public until their hearing date. Problem is, most of them never showed up because they knew their claim was phony, but they snuck into the country anyway.
So now Trump is going to keep them outside of the country. If you want to wait three years in a tent for your court date, be my guest. If he goes through with it (which it seems he is) then others will get the message and not form any more caravans to come to the US. You're not getting in period.
So if I'm understanding this right.....these tent cities are definitely going to be in Mexico?
Correct, at least according to Trump. He said that nobody will enter our country, but they are allowed to live in these tents until their hearing date.
They were never coming here for asylum. They are coming here to use asylum as an excuse to enter the country legally until their hearing date. Trump is putting a stop to that.
So Mexico gave the OK for these tents to be in their territory?
I'm asking only because I don't know enough about that situation.
I don't know how they could object. If we just closed the borders (which they would never want) then those people would be there anyway or have to trek back to their country. As long as we're funding this camp sight, I don't see how they would mind. I'm sure they are not happy about people from other countries using their country to get to the US all the time. They want it stopped as well. This move by Trump could very well accomplish that.
It's almost a perfect plan really. The only way there could be a problem is (like always) liberals and their media.
Hey Ray, what kind of bet do you wanna make that the tent cities are going to be here in the USA? There is no way in hell that Mexico is going to allow US troops in their borders to build tent compounds for detaining refugees that haven't even gotten to the US yet. Not only that, but they don't have any authority, border patrol or otherwise, to detain anyone on Mexican soil.
If you believe that Trump is going to put the tent cities in Mexico, you're dumber than I thought.
BTW................wanna place bets on it? How much can you afford to lose?
And...............here's a link that says Trump will build them in the USA. Pay attention to the last part where he says if they don't get asylum after being held, then they are kicked out.
Trump says U.S. will build "tent cities" to host asylum-seekers
President Trump, during an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Monday, said that his administration plans to build "tent cities" to hold immigrants who have entered the U.S., applied for asylum and are awaiting trial.
"If they apply for asylum, we are going to hold them ... We are going to build tent cities. We're going to put tents up all over the place. We're not going to build structures and ... spend all of these of hundreds of millions of dollars. We are going to have tents, they are going to be very nice, and they are going to wait. And if they don't get asylum, they get out."

Funny. Even though I watched it live, I thought perhaps you caught something I missed, but that didn't happen.
Nowhere in that clip did Trump say "who have entered the US." I played it three times. Now unless you can give me a timestamp of those exact words, then you are lying. He never said those who have entered.
