FILE - In this July 4, 2019 file photo, a group of asylum seekers cross the border between El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, Thursday, July 4, 2019.
There are some exceptions: If someone has been trafficked, if the country the migrant passed through did not sign one of the major international treaties that govern how refugees are managed or if an asylum-seeker sought protection in a country but was denied, then a migrant could still apply for U.S. asylum.
The policy is almost certain to face a legal challenge. U.S. law allows refugees to request asylum when they arrive at the U.S. regardless of how they did so, but there is an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe.” But the Immigration and Nationality Act, which governs asylum law, is vague on how a country is determined “safe”; it says “pursuant to a bilateral or multilateral agreement.
Hope there is a better way for them.
Send them back dead or alive. Their choice.
International law says they need to apply in first safe country they arrive in.
Finally something is being done about all those migrants we have to many now

It’s just not right.
DrewSimsOhio from what I’m reading this seems like a good thing. Thoughts?

Doesn't your lawless regime have something better to do?
I feel another appeal to the court coming that the realDonaldTrump administration will lose.
Gavin is a criminal. What's his net worth And how he made it ? .......vote him out
It should be made universal to accept them.. The free world should have this as part of their foreign policy...
This is amazing news

JEFFERY EPSTEIN AND HIS POWERFUL WHITE BUDDIES RAPED WHITE UNDER AGE GIRLS AND YET WHITE TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE FOCUSED ON 4 BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF COLOR! DAMN💁🏽
This all can change when a Democrat takes over the white house..and I do mean CHANGE!!!
Our military is supposed to be used to defend us for good reason. We always invade places far away that don't affect us, the wars going on in Central America broken our immigration/defense system, affecting us greatly to point of humanitarian crisis, send troops to El Salvador!!
2. Our immigration system is over capacity, we over full, backed up so much that people are detained in inhumane conditions longer and draining our resources. We need slow the flow in and process detainees faster to get under capacity and relive conditions,
Distraction from Epstein......predictable. realDonaldTrump only can fool his base!
What is illegal about following the law I believe our law says asylum seekers will apply in first country they enter! Am I wrong or does that just get in way of Democrats AUTHORITARIAN WAYS !
What Why Why hasn't Congress or the Supreme Court moved to block his actions?
I can NOT count the numerous times Trump has made me ashamed to be an American. This is JUST another distraction and humiliation provided by a man that wasn't actually elected. Plz explain to me WHY people of color can NO longer apply for asylum?
Oh my god
So only European asylum seekers on non-stop flights from their home country can apply?
Thank god, we need to stop them enough is enough! Democratic have gone crazy.
Come on TheDemCoalition, it's long past time for you to remove tRumpf from office Impeach45 ImpeachTrumpNow ¡Every day that he remains in the Oval Office another portion of the US e our government is destroyed, some of which sustains irreparable harm!
Looks like the slogan changed from “Make America Great” to “Make America North Korea”
Great news
I thought they were all coming here illegally. I was told they weren't applying for asylum or that they could apply in their own country or they weren't eligible. Why do you need to remove asylum protection?
This is illegal
Another day another Trump supporter and or bot to block. Their like robo calls.
Unlawful and immoral

So the CIA screws up Central America. Then drug cartels take over (making their money selling drugs to US). Now US doesn’t want to deal with fallout caused by their actions.
Queue for the racists to insert racist comments...and go
It’s ok when it’s some “other group” and next thing you know it’s your butt getting hauled to jail for speaking ill of the the “benevolent leader”
It's about time. Protecting our borders should be pri1.
Too bad Rules are not laws. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 guess its time to laugh at another FAILED attempt. 😂😂😂😂 VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare. Trump's Nationwide Immigration Raids Fail To Materialize 😂😂😂
WTF
Can’t you just leave these poor folks alone and come to my house and whip my cock and balles and feel you are the victor?
😡 We WERE the land of opportunity. We WERE the greatest nation. NOW we are turning away people who need help. This is inhumane. This is against the Christian God they claim to follow.
secupp Asylum would be claimed at the first country, I.e. Mexico, reached. Not the US. They're here to claim free stuff, and thereby overwhelm the system. Cloward-Piven. Easy to understand.
No punkin, he got Guatemala to become a 'safe Nation' per UN rules. How's that hurting you? Show us on this doll where big bad President hurt you..
No one even cares to read what he actually did. He made it so the first country they enter where asylum is offered is where they should seek asylum. So no more long dangerous treks through the desert with small children. No more taking advantage of the US. Good Trump.
A flood of immigrants are crossing illegally, then claiming asylum, and getting denied, because they’re economic migrants—therefore, they don’t qualify for amnesty. The overcrowding at the border is because of those people. Obama also told them not to come, they’d be turned away.
It’s about time
Awesome news
Awesome
Why did Trump and conservatism can only shit 💩 on USA? Migrants also can shit on USA, they have the right to do it, hate it or love it, conservatism are soo constipated!!
Only brown people. RacistPresident
realDonaldTrump is anti-American. America is a nation of immigrants. Two of his three wives were immigrants, as was his mother. He's a raging racist.
The word is “invading”. As in: people who aggressively and illegally cross the border between two nations.
Can you tell all of us out here in America land are these asylum protections for law abiding illegals and how long are these people held for. Are they released in this country with a piece of paper ordering them to attend their asylum hearings. Tell us all. GO ICE, GO TRUMP.
And... Mexico says NO.
That’s not what the order says. It says nothing “to end asylum protections.” Read the order and then use your First Amendment right better please. JournalismIsDead
secupp This reminds me of the Civil War and WW2. America wasn't very tolerant, then either 🤔
Wait. This is illegal. Among all the illegal things he's done, this is one of the worst. Isn't there someone to apply and enforce the rule of law to this asshole?
How Villainous, Ignoble & Unpardonable🤬
This is illegal.
This is illegal, it’ll get challenged, and he’ll lose again. He’s gotta keep the racist base happy.
White supremacists changing the rules to make any form of asylum seeking illegal so they can reduce human beings to illegal
DUH Asylum is not ending. Bow the HORDES have to apply OUTSIDE our Borders eat her than using ILLEGAL Entry as a means of Asylum.
It's just his routine. Tweet some retarded stuff people get outraged about, then bring the hatred on immigrants to deflect attention. Business as usual, press takes the bait.
Congress could fix this in five minutes. Since they have refused, at least the POTUS is trying to do something!
Not a tenth of those griping about the policy care one tiny bit, if you did you would open your loving hearts and home doors and foot the bill, for these ILLEGAL immigrants. You just wanna gripe because YOUR POTUS doesn't play the political game of your comrades.
Totally sociopathic. Many of these people face sexist, homophobic, indigenous and intergenerational violence and annihilation where they came from. Trump is sending them cavalierly to their demise.
DumpTrump2020 Fascism
Announcing El Trumpanista boat rentals now opening in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. (You don't think Trump and his criminal grifter buddies are done making bank off this do you?)
These people illegally crossing our border are pretending to be harmless because they are unarmed. But it's their very presence illegally that is root of a huge problem for our country. It's a new kind of invasion.
RacistInChief has gone way too far. It’s time, Congress.
_Politics And he will be sued!
EXCEPT for actually threatened people. No more economic fake asylum. Wanting a job, apply at the consulate.
USA Nazism. This won't go well for anybody, not even white people. Hate is not a path to success.
Look, it’s the 2019 version of the Chinese Exclusion Act. TrumpIsARacist
Correction: Trump ILLEGALLY moves to end asylum protections guaranteed under the US Constitution. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
Excellent news. Maybe now Democrats will stop telling them to come here; unlikely since they love the drama they’ve created, but maybe.
burcham_don Trump doesn't even want brown people to seek legal asylum.... TrumpIsARacist
In other news, Democrats welcome their created chaos at the border and view to keep it up.

Last paragraph tells it all: During the budget year for 2009, there were 35,811 asylum claims, and 8,384 were granted. During 2018 budget year, there were 162,060 claims filed, and 13,168 were granted.
excellent news
Let’s not forget the Jeffrey Epstein thing. This is partly a diversion, with the bonus of being red meat for the base.
At least realDonaldTrump is trying to do something for this crisis that Congress has been unwilling to do for 30 years!!
Trump is obsessed with this border thing. Will history record him as the 'Border-Man' and put him high up on the wall,all-framed with a candle lit for added attraction ?
This will be blocked by the courts. Now back to realDonaldTrump 's relationship to Epstein.
Finally someone is working to stop the fraud occurring at the border. Economic migrants are given a free pass to the head of the line making it harder for legal immigrants. Democrats do your jobs! Stop promoting fraud.
Why are there 'asylum protections' for anyone, never mind a specific set of countries?
Good!!
I thought he’d already done that.
Wonderful!!!
Good!
How does this work with the current asylum code 1158. Asylum (a) Authority to apply for asylum (1) In general any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival...

Good.

Doesn't this violate international law?
Good
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. About damn time
Should have been done at least a year ago. The invasion must stop. America is not racist, we are just protecting our boarder as any sovereign nation would do.
Where have you gone Nancy Pelosi? ... our nation turns its hopeful eyes to you ... What's that you say Nancy Pelosi? Fightin' Nancy has up and gone away ...
This is in violation of International and U.S. law
That seems unlawful. SpeakerPelosi 👋👋👋
Meaningful Immigration reform holds land mines for both parties. It will never happen.
secupp This is just the beginning of a momumental ethnic-cleansing pogrom that will pale in comparison the the Third Reich.
Not only do we need to vote Trump out but Mitch McConnel and Lindsey Graham as well. Lindsey Graham said during the 2016 election Trump was a sick man. Now with Trump President he is bowing down to his wishes.
Why don’t the Republicans do something!Seeking asylum is legal in the United States!The Republicans are so scared of Trump;they just coward down and not speak up. Paul Ryan wrote in his new book he was sick of Trump and couldn’t take him anymore and left.
Funny, I read in the paper on Saturday that border crossings decreased last month. Asylum is legal. Let's see what happens when the ACLU sues the administration, again.
This your America SenToomey? - care to speak. Please even just blink twice if you disagree
He and Republican Party are benefiting from for-profit immigrant detention centers. Tax payers give contractors $775 per person per day. Immigrants are abused, some die, some go missing. Contractors donate to R campaigns. How is this different from human trafficking?
it is not a new rule... what they are saying is they are now forced to enforce it

davidfrum BREAKING: Trump didn't suddenly stop being a rapist yesterday. Let's remember the whole picture. He's bad all the way around.
justinhendrix Is this legal?
Wonderful!!
justinhendrix By administration you meant Stephen Miller Call him out instead of anonymizing him and his staff cc ctlong1
The ignorance of trump supporters never ceases to amaze me seeking Asylum isn't a crime they stand by and support a president who is the son of an immigrant whole thing is about color he's not going after any other immigrants except immigrants of color that's racism!
Excellent. Trump knows that the vast majority of Central Americans who try to come into the US don't want asylum. They want US jobs.
Yes! Trump2020Landslide
_Politics Bots in full force here.
seeking Asylum isn't a crime pelosi needs to reign in his powers he setting a very dangerous precedent this is coming folks from the son of an immigrant who wouldn't be president if his mother didn't come here Not one reporter has the guts to ask him!
Keep up the good work Mr Trump
SteffiLeeTV Ln
Daily reminder the president is a racist
Thank you, President Trump! Doesn't resolve everything but it's a great start..
This is Trump only because he's the top guy. In reality, he has no say in any of this and it's people like Stephen Miller pushing these ideas. Trump doesn't have the guts to stand up to any of them. Trump said he has a big heart. If that were true, this wouldn't happen from HIM.
The new rule would require most migrants entering through America’s southern border to first seek asylum in one of the countries they traversed – whether in Mexico, in Central America, or elsewhere on their journey
Great news
secupp has this man even considered the reason they are leaving their country? shameful America used to be the voice to tell the world the atrocities that are taking place in these broken countries
Amen!
Unless the US opens more RSC's in Central America, courts will likely put a stop to this as it overburdens the individuals attempting to apply for asylum
If you're a 'migrant,' (your word, AP- not mine) then you're not a refugee, and you should not be benefitting from asylum protections in the first place.
This is a dishonest headline. It ends all first party asylum claims from ALL regions not just Central America. All it means is asylum seekers must follow the law and go through a third party state and apply.
For all you fake-moralists out the there who feign indignation at even trying to quell the influx, can you please give a number on how many we're 'supposed' to take in? Is it 1 million? 100 million? 1 billion?
