The Trump administration announced Monday it will move to end asylum protections for most Central American migrants in the government’s latest major attempt to restrict the influx of migrant families coming to the United States.
The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security said in the statement they were adding a new bar to eligibility for asylum for a migrant “who enters or attempts to enter the United States across the southern border, but who did not apply for protection from persecution or torture where it was available in at least one third country outside” the migrants country of citizenship or last lawful residence"through which he or she transited en route to the United States.
The new rule was subject to three exceptions, according to the statement. The exceptions were for migrants who did apply for protection in at least one of the countries and were denied, migrants who demonstrate they meet the definition of a “victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons,” or came to the U.S.
Asylum requires the applicant to be a refugee which in turn requires persecution of the applicant. The Central Americans crossing now do not face persecution and are NOT refugees. No refugee status, no asylum protection. Simple as that.
Not fair.
Finally!
As a country in the past, we would jump to the challenge on finding a solution to why the people of Central America must escape their home countries. Maybe it's time for the USA to get involved due to National Security.
I hear a lot of whining now, but we heard non all those times the CIA funded guerillas, and toppled all those central american gov, wich in turn created weak, poor, ignorat, famined countries; wich in turn ended in all those people migrating. America kind of played its self, fool
Good
About Time, use it abuse it lose it
TrumpIsARacist
No goverment will agree to a deal even if they get 10 billion, check out how much money go to these countries in REMESAS🙄 this migration is not going to stop until the USA is turned into another Latin-American country and Canada will be next even though they have harder laws😂
About time. Thank you Mr. President. Now go tackle the problem of fraudulent immigration, specifically women marrying their brothers to play the system.
Good then they can truck on home and make their own country great again !
👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
End all asylum until there is a wall or at least a real solution that isn’t about democrats harvesting voters.
So much for “come in legally..” But we know that argument was bullshit..
The President is only protecting your country. Even my small country, Liberia will not allow persons without documents to enter. Former Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton deported more undocumented persons then President Trump's is attempting to do? Do you know?
Is he even legally allowed to take such actions?
What about Congress They don't have a voice anymore😁 ImpeachmentInquiryNow !!
If they are seeking asylum, why do they fly the flags of the nations they are allegedly fleeing?
/ Firearms Outrages Claim approx 15k lives per year in the U.S surely 5k max migrants from Central America is just a drop in the Ocean by comparison?
He should. The system is being abused. People truly needing Asylum can't get it because of those trying to abuse our laws. It's shameful that these people are so dishonest, low-down and they totally detest our country and our laws. They just come here to steal from our poor.
Deport all illegals.
Just his attempt to throw fresh meat to the base. We see the strategy but it won't work Donny the dork.
Illegal mean illegal. They rip down the American flag and raise a Mexican flag. This is treason deyare traitors for allowythis to happen
Racist Trump
😡
The courts are gonna kill this the first opportunity they can.
Great , Keep up the good work realDonaldTrump
So ignore and dehumanize is the play today?
Trump is throwing an octopus orgy of racism to fulfill the wet dreams of the alt-right. He’s a frightened little man.
And we all wait to see how far our racist, disgusting president will be allowed to go. Where is the line where ALL our chosen representatives take a stand and say ‘enough is enough’? Why can’t they just admit it and select someone with integrity to run against him in 2020?
Except for Cubans because they vote for GOP
Now immigrants have to file for asylum to U.S in their own country, how every country should conduct asylum claims.
The new rule says asylum-seekers who pass through another country and do not seek asylum there will not be eligible for asylum in the US, according to a statement from DHS.
