Incoming Mexico gov’t: No deal to host US asylum-seekers - The Washington Post

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s incoming government denied a report Saturday that it plans to allow asylum-seekers to wait in the country while their claims move through U.S. immigration courts, one of several options the Trump administration has been pursuing in negotiations for months.

The deal was seen as a way to dissuade thousands of Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S., a process that can take years. In effect, Mexican border towns are already acting as waiting rooms for migrants hoping to start new lives in the U.S. due to bottlenecks at the border.

“There is no agreement of any sort between the incoming Mexican government and the U.S. government,” future Interior Minister Olga Sanchez said in a statement.

Hours earlier, The Washington Post quoted her as saying that the incoming administration of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had agreed to allow migrants to stay in Mexico as a “short-term solution” while the U.S. considered their applications for asylum. Lopez Obrador will take office on Dec. 1.

The statement shared with The Associated Press said the future government’s principal concern related to the migrants is their well-being while in Mexico.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has won support from the Mexican president-elect’s team for a plan dubbed “Remain in Mexico.”

The newspaper also quoted Sanchez as saying: “For now, we have agreed to this policy of Remain in Mexico.”

Sanchez did not explain in the statement why The Washington Post had quoted her as saying there had been agreement.

your hatred for Trump is stronger than your love for your country....

Actually, it's because I love my country (served over 20 years in the military), and don't want to see Trump fuck it up. THAT is the reason I call Trump on his bullshit.

So now you can see that Mexico ISN'T a safe third country, and no long term agreement has been worked out. So, because Mexico isn't a safe third country yet, the immigrants are legally allowed to seek asylum in the US.

Trump told you that N. Korea denuclearized, but they haven't.

Now, Trump is telling you that Mexico is a safe third country, but currently, it isn't, and according to the president of Mexico, they won't become one either.
Not that I think you will listen or this will change your mind but you need to know that this is not playing well for the dems in the south or the heartland or the rust belt and the southern border states...that's pretty much everywhere but CA and NY.....keep cheering on the illegal Caravan members and watch Trump win in a landslide in 2020....
 
Actually, no, Mexico isn't designated as a safe third country yet, and the incoming Mexican administration said they won't be either.
Dude...its been all over the news...it was when Mexico agreed and its fact....like I said look it up...but you still won't answer...why do you want them here?....

Mexico hasn't agreed to anything other than a short term solution. In post 349, I have the link. While Mexico has agreed to a short term solution, their incoming president has said that they will not be designated as a safe third country. They said they will help them for a little while with food and shelter, but nothing permanent as of yet.

It's kinda like when Trump went to N. Korea and signed a piece of paper that equated to nothing, and then came back and said we could all sleep good because N. Korea has been "denuclearized". No, still hasn't happened, and Un is looking at starting up his missile program again.

Sorry dude, but an agreement to a short term solution isn't the same thing as being designated as a safe third country.

Korea has missiles and hasn't shot off one since Trump met with Un. And no, Trump never once said they denuclearized. What he said is that they had one of many meetings towards denuclearization, and yes, it's going to take time.

Denuclearization is not like taking down a pup tent in your backyard.
 
Don’t believe the righty propaganda about “applying the right way”. You actually have to be in the US to claim asylum. So if someone walks up to the border and claims asylum they aren’t illegal .

Obtaining Asylum in the United States

To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

So they give us their applications outside the US. If the application is approved, then they can come in and claim asylum. What's the problem?

The problem is like most Democrats, you want them sneaking in this country like they did under Ears and disappear after they make their claim never to be seen again.
Yep, they can get in line and we'll open a single door at a port of entry. Outside that door will be a stack of asylum applications. Inside, an ICE agent backed by a platoon of the First Cavalry, fully armed. Give the ICE agent a single rubber stamp and an ink pad. The stamp should read, "Rejected".

The first question on the form should be, "have you been offered asylum from any other country?
The second should read, "Have you in the past 24 hours, fled for your life from your home country?

The legalese should read, "Under penalty of perjury, punishable by 25 years in US Federal Prison, I certify that these statements are true.

The form should be written in English only.

Then let them line up for an application. Should take about two years or so.

Really should read the Constitution, there is a bit in there about due process...
I have. The authority of immigration is granted to the Executive Branch. I do not care that most of the left follows administrative law over Constitutional law.

They can have their due process on the same hour that they file for asylum if they file at our border. The judgment is made and they are either let in the country then, or released back into Mexico, Canada, or whatever country they applied from.
 
So they give us their applications outside the US. If the application is approved, then they can come in and claim asylum. What's the problem?

The problem is like most Democrats, you want them sneaking in this country like they did under Ears and disappear after they make their claim never to be seen again.

Think about it . If that was the process the INS would be bombarded with millions of apps every year .

God do any of you ever put a thought into anything you say?

And that's exactly what happened under Hussein. Ever hear of Catch and Release?

Right . Cause our immigration courts are swamped. Better to spend wall money on more courts and agents .

By the way , catch and release is way cheaper than jailing everyone .

If we had a law that anybody caught here illegally faces a minimum five year federal prison sentence, nobody would come here illegally.

Asylum Seekers are not in the US illegally... Have you got that?

Maybe, but what about the 20 million illegals that are?
 
Actually, no, Mexico isn't designated as a safe third country yet, and the incoming Mexican administration said they won't be either.
Dude...its been all over the news...it was when Mexico agreed and its fact....like I said look it up...but you still won't answer...why do you want them here?....

Sorry dude, but an agreement to a short term solution isn't the same thing as being designated as a safe third country.
So Mexico went back on their word of asylum. That is NOT our problem.
 
Did you even bother to read your own link? Yes, if the country is designated ALREADY as a "safe third country", they would have to seek asylum there. But, currently, Mexico isn't designated as a safe third country YET.
yes it is....by order of the president of mexico and president Trump two weeks ago....Mexico said they would provide them with a safe harbor and offer asylum....so why do you want them to get in?....

Trump isn't fucking it up. The left is.
 
Not if you don't feel safe in Mexico...
There is no logical reason for them to feel unsafe in Mexico...they could have gone south....why do you want them to get in?....

They could have gone south? Umm...............might wanna check out a map sometime. The countries they were fleeing are SOUTH of Mexico. Why would they go back? And, who are you to determine how they do or don't feel? Are you qualified to hear cases and decide who stays and who doesn't?

Our asylum criteria is pretty clear. You need to be persecuted in your country due to religion, gender, or race. If our government determines you were, but were able to move to a different party of your country to escape such persecution, then your asylum claim is moot.

We do not have asylum because our country is better than yours, or that yours is a shithole to live in. That's your problem--not ours.

The United States population is estimated at 1/3 of one billion people. The rest of the world has 7.2 billon people. Given the fact many of those people don't live as good as we do, how many of those 7.2 billion people do you want to let in?

They didn’t start shooting until he became prez. Un was fucking wh Don.
 
all congress has to do this next month is pass a one line bill written like the president's EO..

New executive order making immigrants ineligible for asylum if they arrive in the U.S. without papers. It's really quite simple and they can do while they have the House.
Telling 4,000 people that walked 2,000 miles to get to the border that they have go back home and get more identification should be good for another riot at the border which would certainly please Trump immensely.
BTW, Mexico requires ids at both their southern and northern border.

Sorry, but I fail to see how their hike - which we didn't ask them to make and, in fact, have repeatedly told them NOT to make - engenders any sort of obligation on our part. Is there some heretofore secret section of the Immigration and Naturalization Code that says, "But if you make pointless effort and then have a riot, you get to bypass the normal requirements"?

BTW, no one gives a shit what Mexico does and doesn't require for their borders. Last time I checked, Mexico isn't part of the US government, and has no authority in regards to our immigration laws.
My reply was to a previous post. How the migrants got to the border is irrelevant as far as asylum laws are concerned but is relevant in regard to their determination to present their petition for asylum. Nobody spends two months walking 1700 miles without good reason. They are well aware that they are not likely to be accepted but it's likely their best option.

Actually, a lot of people do care what Mexico does on their southern border. They are demanding that Mexico tighten security and in effect stop the caravans which is ridiculous. Mexico has relativity open borders and they're under no obligation to change their policy just because of US immigration laws.

Mexico allows them to use their country as a boardwalk to the United States. Of course they bear some responsibility. If we had people running guns to the drug lords in Mexico and our government welcomed it with open arms, wouldn't you think Mexico would have a legitimate complaint against us?

Allies and trading partners should look out for each other. We look out for Mexico by sending over 320 million taxpayer dollars a year, the least they can do for that money is try to keep these people away from our border.

Have been complaining for years...
Trump echoes Mexican president, says lax US gun laws help arm drug cartels

Even Trump agrees with them until some told him who the gun lobby are...

Had nothing to do with my comment. The US government does not openly allow gun runners to Mexico.

Have you even read the OP... The point is you can't apply for Asylum from outside the country...

Sure you can, at the point of entry.
 
Mexico, the first country they entered offered asylum.
There is where they should stay.

These people are not escaping persecution. They will not get economic asylum in the U.S.
Get over it.

We are not responsible for the failed corrupt regimes to our south and their failure to take care of their own citizens.

The U.S. has every right like any sovereign country to determine how many and who emigrates.

Not if you don't feel safe in Mexico... You are running from danger... The same gangs (which come from US) are operating in Mexico as in Honduras..
Even so US has to let them in so they can make that case. Asylum Seekers have the right to due process as well...

They don't have the right to be released into our country while the process goes on. That was a program under DumBama--not because it's a requirement of ours.
 
Very few immigrants win their asylum claims and are denied entry into the nation...but we used to let them in to wait for a hearing they never show up for....Trump has ended that nonsense...now they must wait outside of the US...
 
I'm sorry, but I just don't see the political advantage one way or the other. Yes, laws need to be changed, but good luck finding the people to do it. Piglosi and her clan certainly won't, and they plan on spending most of their time trying to remove Trump from office than anything else that needs to be addressed by Congress.

Why does Mexico bear any responsibility for letting the caravans come to the US? It is our asylum laws that attract them, not theirs. For the most part, the people in the caravans are not violating any Mexican law by crossing their border.

Furthermore, Mexico benefits from having relatively open borders. It increases commerce and the mobility of it's people. For Mexico to do what the US wants, they would have to change their laws and dedicate a lot of money to border control, something the Mexican people don't support. And they should do this because they should lookout for the US who have branded them as rapists, murders, and animals. I don't think so.

Mexico already has border patrol at their southern ends. Yes, it is illegal go be in Mexico as it is in the US unless you have the governments permission.
 
What's the big deal about just getting a work visa and then applying for citizenship?
We have normal ways to immigrate.
 
What's the big deal about just getting a work visa and then applying for citizenship?
We have normal ways to immigrate.

The Unites States of America allows a million foreigners to become citizens of this country every year. No other industrialized or modernized country in the world comes close to our generosity.

So don't let these leftists tell you we are being greedy, inconsiderate, or uncaring of other people in the world outside our country unless they can show you one other country that comes close to ours when it comes to immigration.
 
Very few immigrants win their asylum claims and are denied entry into the nation...but we used to let them in to wait for a hearing they never show up for....Trump has ended that nonsense...now they must wait outside of the US...
Trump's new plan is to have asylum seekers wait in Mexico if they can not establish creditable fear of doing so. A Mexican official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that current Mexican immigration law does not allow those seeking asylum in another country to stay in Mexico.
Therefore, having them wait in Mexico would be tantamount to sending them back to the country they are trying to escape. I think Trump is going to end up in court again. It's not quite as easy for Trump as president to skirt around the law as it was when he was president of the Trump Organization.
