CENTRAL AMERICAN ASYLUM SEEKERS CANNOT PASS THROUGH MEXICO AND CLAIM ASYLUM AT THE BORDER

The Trump administration filed a regulation Monday that could dramatically limit the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum if they enter the United States by land through Mexico, according to a document filed by the departments of Justice and Homeland Security in the Federal Register.

Here's part of what the document says:

“Pursuant to statutory authority, the Departments are amending their respective regulations to provide that, with limited exceptions, an alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States across the southern border after failing to apply for protection in a third country outside the alien’s country of citizenship, nationality, or last lawful habitual residence through which the alien transited en route to the United States is ineligible for asylum,”

What this means: The regulation would prohibit migrants who have resided in a third country from seeking asylum in the US. It would, therefore, bar migrants transiting through Mexico from being able to claim asylum and as a result, drastically limit who's eligible for asylum. The regulation is an interim final rule, which allows the new restrictions to go into effect immediately.

It’s the latest attempt by the Trump administration to toughen the US asylum process and has the potential of affecting a large swath of migrants journeying to the US-Mexico border.

GAME OVER. This assured Trump's re-election right there.

This will also be held up and eventually overturned by the courts. Another goofy distraction from the criminal proceedings that will pile up. By the time of the election, no one will even remember this one.

Asylum only means that you are trying to escape something in the place and environment you live in. Asylum does not mean you can choose any fancy country of your choice.

If you are in danger and are persecuted in Guatemala, you can seek asylum in Mexico, the nearest country.

Bad Progressives want us to pay taxes to build good things but want to unilaterally give it away.

Tragically, you may be right 😟 Now, if he were to shift funds from his simplistic and idiodic wall project to beef up the US Coast Guard - because if history repeats - that will be the direction of the next illegal inflow to the USA.

A (very) longtime supporter of Public TV & Radio, and still an habitual listener.. What I watch or hear with regard to this necessary and long overdue protection of our sovereignty makes me sick.. And, it will very likely take the Democrats down.

The R’s certainly know which buttons to push … all that oppositional research actually works.. They’re formulating another perfect storm - part two!

Who votes in the primaries? The radical elements of each party. Who will his radicals come up with - him. What will my crew come up with ...someone I’ll either hold my nose while voting for ..having not lifted a finger to help elect.. ..while watching the center shift toward trump ..and know we’ve lost.

Again, long overdue actions. Silently supported by the nation’s majority. Guaranteed to waylay our far-left. And a winning strategy for a near total loser 😕
