Asylum seekers will have to wait in Mexico as cases are processed under new plan: report

Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States will have to wait in Mexico while their cases are reviewed under a new plan called "Remain in Mexico," The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Asylum seekers have historically been allowed to stay in the U.S. while their cases are processed without fear of being deported. Under the new measures, asylum seekers will have to prove a "reasonable fear" of persecution in Mexico in order to gain entry. The new measure could go into effect as soon as Friday, the report said.

A Mexican official told the paper that under current law, Mexico does not allow those seeking asylum in another country to stay there during the process.

The Post's report was based on "internal planning documents" and three unnamed officials in the Department of Homeland Security. The paper called the proposal a major break from the current system, where asylum seekers have to establish a fear of returning to their home country. President Donald Trump has called the current system "catch and release."

A spokeswoman from DHS told the paper that there are no immediate plans to implement the measure. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will reportedly send teams from various cities to port entries to begin the process.

At least 3,000 migrants have arrived in Tijuana, a border city across from San Diego, Calif., in the past two weeks. The federal government estimates the number of migrants could grow to 10,000 in the coming weeks, or months.

Those already in the city have camped out in tents, slept on dirt fields or under bleachers or are staying in overcrowded shelters throughout the city as they wait to figure out their next steps.

But some are growing impatient, and believe their best option is to plan a mass crossing.

“Most of us, yes, we want to be on the other side,” Jorge Molina, a Honduran migrant, told Telemundo. “Some want to jump over the wall, others to go another way, and others want to wait and see what kind of response they get.”

About 5,800 active-duty troops dispatched to the border to deal with the migrant crisis started coming home this week. On Monday, a judge barred the president from enforcing a ban on asylum for those who cross the U.S. border illegally – a decision the administration said would cause “countless illegal aliens to pour into our country."

Mexico let them in and they can damn well keep them all!

Stop letting them in...YOU are not dumping them on us any more!

They can apply in their home country, stay there until they are investigated, vetted and medical exams. They are liars! Then WE foot the bill to send them back! This is outrages!!!


NEW PLAN: "REMAIN IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY UNTIL VETTED"!!!!

WHY SHOULD WE PAY TO SEND THEM BACK! THEY ARE LIARS!

Trump plan would force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico as cases are processed, a major break with current policy

Central Americans who arrive at U.S. border crossings seeking asylum in the United States will have to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed under sweeping new measures the Trump administration is preparing to implement, according to internal planning documents and three Department of Homeland Security officials familiar with the initiative.
According to DHS memos obtained by The Washington Post on Wednesday, Central American asylum seekers who cannot establish a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Mexico will not be allowed to enter the United States and would be turned around at the border.
The plan, called “Remain in Mexico,” amounts to a major break with current screening procedures, which generally allow those who establish a fear of return to their home countries to avoid immediate deportation and remain in the United States until they can get a hearing with an immigration judge. Trump despises this system, which he calls “catch and release,” and has vowed to end it.
Among the thousands of Central American migrants traveling by caravan across Mexico, many hope to apply for asylum due to threats of gang violence or other persecution in their home countries. They had expected to be able to stay in the United States while their claims move through immigration court. The new rules would disrupt those plans, and the hopes of other Central Americans who seek asylum in the United States each year.

Trump remains furious about the caravan and the legal setbacks his administration has suffered in federal court, demanding hard-line policy ideas from aides. Senior adviser Stephen Miller has pushed to implement the Remain in Mexico plan immediately, though other senior officials have expressed concern about implementing it amid sensitive negotiations with the Mexican government, according to two DHS officials and a White House adviser with knowledge of the plan, which was discussed at the White House on Tuesday, people familiar with the matter said.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to the administration’s new plan, if a migrant does not specifically fear persecution in Mexico, that is where they will stay. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is sending teams of asylum officers from field offices in San Francisco, Washington, and Los Angeles to the ports of entry in the San Diego area to implement the new screening procedures, according to a USCIS official.
To cross into the United States, asylum seekers would have to meet a relatively higher bar in the screening procedure to establish that their fears of being in Mexico are enough to require immediate admission, the documents say.
“If you are determined to have a reasonable fear of remaining in Mexico, you will be permitted to remain in the United States while you await your hearing before an immigration judge,” the asylum officers will now tell those who arrive seeking humanitarian refuge, according to the DHS memos. “If you are not determined to have a reasonable fear of remaining in Mexico, you will remain in Mexico.”
Mexican border cities are among the most violent in the country, as drug cartels battle over access to smuggling routes into the United States. In the state of Baja California, which includes Tijuana, the State Department warns that “criminal activity and violence, including homicide, remain a primary concern throughout the state.”

The new rules will take effect as soon as Friday, according to two DHS officials familiar with the plans.
Katie Waldman, a spokeswoman for DHS, issued a statement late Wednesday saying there are no immediate plans to implement these new measures.
“The President has made clear — every single legal option is on the table to secure our nation and to deal with the flood of illegal immigrants at our borders,” the statement says. “DHS is not implementing such a new enforcement program this week. Reporting on policies that do not exist creates uncertainty and confusion along our borders and has a negative real world impact. We will ensure — as always — that any new program or policy will comply with humanitarian obligations, uphold our national security and sovereignty, and is implemented with notice to the public and well coordinated with partners.”
A Mexican official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that current Mexican immigration law does not allow those seeking asylum in another country to stay in Mexico.
On Dec. 1, a new Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, will be sworn in, and it’s also unclear whether his transition team was consulted on the new asylum screening procedures.
The possibility that thousands of U.S.-bound asylum seekers would have to wait in Mexico for months, even years, could produce a significant financial burden for the government there, especially if the migrants remain in camps and shelters on a long-term basis.
[At the U.S. border, migrant caravan will slow to a crawl]
There are currently 6,000 migrants in the Tijuana area, many of them camped at a baseball field along the border, seeking to enter the United States. Several thousand more are en route to the city as part of caravan groups, according to Homeland Security estimates.
U.S. border officials have allowed about 60 to 100 asylum seekers to approach the San Ysidro port of entry each day for processing.
Last week, BuzzFeed News reported that U.S. and Mexican officials were discussing such a plan.
Mexico also appears to be taking a less-permissive attitude toward the new migrant caravans now entering the country.
Authorities detained more than 200 people, or nearly all of the latest caravan, who recently crossed Mexico’s southern border on their way to the United States. This is at least the fourth large group of migrants to cross into Mexico and attempt to walk to the U.S. border. They were picked up not long after crossing. The vast majority of the migrants were from El Salvador, according to Mexico’s National Immigration Institute.
After the first caravan this fall entered Mexico, President Enrique Peña Nieto’s administration offered migrants the chance to live and work in Mexico as long as they stayed in the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. Most chose not to accept this deal, because they wanted to travel to the United States.

And once again, with all of the potential countries of asylum, apart from Mexico these people are all making a beeline for the US.:mad:

Mexico does not want them.

USA does not want them.

Mexico does not want to pay for them or warehouse them

USA does not want to pay for them or warehouse them.

It would be in Mexico's best interest to load them up and bus them back.

It would be in Mexico's best interest to NOT allow them in to begin with.

YOU CANNOT DUMP THESE PEOPLE ON US ANYMORE!

YOU LET THEM IN...YOU KEEP THEM AND PAY FOR THEM.

NOT SO DANDY IS IT????

Message to US Military. If you fail to stop this, it won't be Trump who pays the price, if will be you all. Americans are watching, taking notes and making lists. We want this stopped, that's why we fund you, so you all better do your jobs, do them right, and do them now.

It's show-time, probably the most significant US soil show since the Civil War. Just sayin' ......

Our border patrol needs to have dump trucks, military vehicles and semi trucks ready to BLOCK all lanes on our side of the border to stop them.

Have helicopters ready to drop the tear gas!

Do not let bum rush our border and scatter like cockroaches!

How do the people of San Diego feel about having 10 THOUSAND sick and disease infected illegal aliens running into their neighborhoods?

I would be furious!

Mexico has every right to deport them. Nothing we say or do should discourage that ambition.

Those on the front lines can only do what the CIC and the Generals allow them to do. It would be very hard for them to stop this when many are 100 miles away, and the few who are close were given orders to basically stand down.

I, for one, will never attempt to humiliate the E3's---E4's---E5's for not stopping this, when they are not allowed to stop this. I will place the blame on the CIC and the Generals.

Trump and congress want the credit if things go well

so they get the blame when things go badly.

I think they're going very well. They need more troops for more miles of border security and concertina wire, and they need to slow down that asylum process to a crawl, taking hours and hours to document claims in those credible fear interviews. That interview is supposed to stop the fraud at the git-go, not ferret it out years later with an immigration judge. DO YOUR JOB, USCIS!

Are you trying to say to government shutdown is keeping them from the "Remain in Mexico"?

Is that what you are trying to use as the excuse this time?

The shutdown has not interfered with the buses turning them loose has it?

With a shut down government it would be much easier for them to Remain in Mexico, instead of a country where the gov is shut down.

There's no actual procedures or processes set up for that in our country or with Mexico yet. The diplomats just reached the agreement on Dec 20. Then our government shuts down the next day. Like any new policy, especially one involving another country, it takes time to implement and put in place. There are hundreds of regulations and procedures that will have to be written and reviewed and put into place, computer systems software written and tested and put up, legal reviews, no different than any other new policy or law that goes into effect. Not sure why you all are confused about how these things work in our country.

I'm sure they'll let you all know when it's all up, running and implemented on the ground so the news media can take pictures of the buses hauling them back into Mexico to remain there until their asylum hearing.

Stay Tuned. It's a good thing that has happened and will discourage asylum seekers.

The Feds are still dumping asylum seekers at bus stations forcing Cities, Counties, States and church groups to take care of them.

City, County Officials Are Making Moves to Shelter Asylum-Seekers

Yeah, these poor cities like El Paso should call their Congresscritter and tell them they want these asylum laws repealed. Who is their representative in El Paso anyway? Oh yeah, Beto!! Beto O'Rourke! Call Beto!! Call Beto and tell him you want these stupid asylum laws repealed now!!!

Turn them all away.

We do not have the Judges, facilities, healthcare facilities, housing, schools or financial resources to handle countries from around the world dumping MILLIONS of people over our border.

Send them back! Fast track the UAC's and pregnant ones out of here!

No country can afford this migration madness. That's why its' time to:

Implement Judy's Plan B.

Judy's Plan B:

Tell all these countries, if your citizens don't stop entering our country illegally, then your country will have no aid from or trade with the United States.

As explained to you many times before from different sources, you're so-called Plan B won't stop illegal immigration, which means it's not a viable solution and never was. Of course anything Trump tweets, even though he won't follow through, seems to be good enough for you though.

Oh well, nice dream but unfortunately it won't happen and wouldn't work anyway.

I am for cutting off the aid, but not because I think it will stop the illegals, it won't, not even one of them.

I am for cutting off the aid because our country is 21 trillion in debt, and it makes no sense to borrow money to give to other countries who abused the US and the money most likely is misused and goes in some dictators pocket.
The money going for foreign aid needs to be spent in this country, or not borrowed at all to bring the National Debt down a bit.
The National Debt is right up there with immigration in sending this country over the cliff.

Sending our tax dollars to other countries is not something I support either. However, anyone that thinks cutting off the aid will somehow stop or reduce illegal immigration is not fully thinking out the complexity of the situation. As I've said before, we can't depend on other countries to secure our country.

Cut off ALL foreign aid and pay off our debt.

No funding for refugees, asylum, TPS or illegal aliens! We are 22 trillion in debt!

Paper is cheap...sign a Bill, Law, Directive to immediately cut off all school, healthcare, housing, drivers licenses, lawyers, bank account, IRS tax refunds, end birthright citizenship, no welfare, no food stamps or these people are FIRED!

Do an audit now and cut them off. Force them to sell out, pack up and go home!

Enforce e-verify for every government program and enforce Public Charge laws!

Now, it looks like no agreement was reached. Just another lie from Nielsen..
