Trump admin's 'Remain in Mexico' plan causes tens of thousands to abandon asylum

The Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy has done exactly what officials had hoped — convince illegal immigrants with bogus asylum claims to give up and return home, officials said this week, declaring the controversial policy a success.

Of the 55,000 migrants who were subject to the Migrant Protection Protocols, as the program is officially known, a “small subset” have won their cases and been readmitted to the U.S. to proceed with asylum claims.

Another 20,000 are still waiting in northern Mexico, Homeland Security officials believe. But that leaves tens of thousands who are believed to have given up their claims. Just as important are the would-be migrants that have not made the trip in the first place, Homeland Security said, cutting the number of illegal immigrant families nabbed at the U.S.-Mexico border by 80% from its record high in May.

Kudo's to Trump for keeping another campaign promise.

Less people are trying to get into the US via the "asylum" process, which was abused for years.

Also-kudo's to Mexico for keeping up its part of the deal by securing its own southern border and havings asylum seekers remain in Mexico.

 

That's excellent.

We need to ramp up the deportations, hasten wall construction, and start shutting off the magnets.

 

Agreed.

 

Great.

Trump's OPEN BORDERS Policy CAUSED this problem in the First Place.

All of these Marauders entering the USA (since January 2017) happened on Trump's WATCH.

Still, is to nice to see Trump FINALLY stopping the bleeding of a "Border Crisis" (that Trump is 100% Responsible For).

Donald Trump?

 

I think this is projection on your part.

 

Serious question. Are you expecting your many posts like this one to be treated seriously?

 

Clearly not. He is chief partisan. People on the right can be pretty damn partisan, but AJ takes the cake no question.

If Trump came out in support of his continued existence AJ would jump off a bridge.

 

WRONG (Again).

 

He is.

Its 2015 to him.

 

Winning!!!

 

For the last 3+ years it seems that way.

 

Even the most radical never-Trumper should be applauding this ---- and this came in spite of total opposition from the left. This is a win in Trump's column which nobody can dispute.

 

Nice to see the President's plan working.

I certainly get and understand why so many people attempted to come to the United States after his election. He and the GOP created one of the largest economic booms in a generation....but there are perfectly legal ways to do it.

 

that old gag!

Gracias a Mexico.

 

Lying is a very poor debate tactic.

 

So again, we don't need a wall. I have saying just push them back from day 1.

 

We still need the wall and its going up.

You can follow its progress here...

I follow it weekly!!!!

SOOOOOO beautiful!

 

Yes, sadly dems have decided to not work with Trump to secure our borders.

 

Statements like this make me very worried that a true Civil War is actually coming.

Stay armed, stay prepared people

 

A Lesson that TRUMP...Still...Hasn't Learned?

Got it.

 

It's all they have.

 

Those poor people look like they haven't eaten for minutes.

 

I would be pissed too.

They have had NGO's tell them for years "Come to America! It's free and you are welcomed!!!!"

Only to get here and find out they were lied to
