No 14,000 a year now and 10,000 a year PLUS, for the past 10 years..... THEY came to the Party, and started helping over a decade ago....about when the crisis of refugees from Central America began!2000 a year, and we have between 15 and 20 million illegal here already. Mexico needs to step up. So does Canada.THEY DO!!!Why don’t they seek asylum in Mexico.I don't think so....You are incorrect.the part that says, even if they crossed illegally, they have a right, under our laws, to seek asylum....
And whether they committed the misdemeanor of crossing the border outside of the gate, does not stop them from still getting their hearing, before a judge, for seeking asylum... the misdemeanor is not held against them when seeking asylum, regarding the judge's decision on whether they qualify or not....
so, no, it is not illegal to seek asylum, no matter the crossing, is my understanding....
illegal crossing, can be prosecuted if this is what the refugee also did.... and the admin pursues that.... which is a misdemeanor level crime, not a felony.... and cruel to pursue....especially it if the refugee is accepted for asylum....
it is the way our government has handled it the past 50 years, so there certainly is precedent supporting this being the case.
If you live in a country NOT CONNECTED to our continent, you would have to seek asylum through our US Embassy there in the country you are in, which is your ONLY MEANS.....
Mexico took in about 2000 refugees a year about 15 years ago, mostly from Central America, and it rose in 2008 to about 10,000 to 14,000 a year, the Mexican Govt is taking in as refugees.... SINCE THEN! They took in 14000 refugees in 2017 and on record to beat that number this year....
I too, did NOT KNOW that.... till I looked it up a couple of weeks ago!
