    Trump Effect: More Central American migrants want asylum in Mexico, not moving on to

    Trump Effect: More Central American migrants want asylum in Mexico, not moving on to US

    Posted by Ann Corcoran on April 19, 2017

    And, that is how asylum is supposed to work.

    Anyone who meets the legal definition of a refugee*** is supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country they reach—not go asylum-shopping throughout the continent as we saw in yesterday’s report on the rush to the Canadian border by many migrants illegally in the US.

    More Central American young men are staying in Mexico and applying for asylum. UN sending more workers to process them.


    For probably a couple of decades the open borders left has been trying to expand the definition of ‘refugee’ (fleeing violence or looking for better economic conditions does not make one a refugee!) and to condone the practice of asylum-shopping (seeking the best deal!).
    The Left wants you to believe that anyone on the move, anywhere in the world, is a legitimate refugee!

    Here is a sob-story about how Mexico is being increasingly saddled with Central Americans who would normally be simply passing through to a better deal in the US.

    From Buzzfeed News (hat tip: Joanne):

    Fleeing violence in their home countries, more Central Americans are seeking asylum in Mexico instead of making the trip north to the US, according to the United Nations.

    More Central Americans are seeking asylum upon reaching Mexico, rather than attempt to make it into the US, where the Trump administration has been clamping down on immigration.

    The number of Central Americans applying for refugee status in Mexico has been steadily increasing since 2011, but applications surged in 2016 by 156% compared to the year prior, according to Mark Manly, a representative in Mexico for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.




    Mark Manly (UNHCR)

    “What we have seen is more people arrive in Mexico, not because they’re in transit for a better future in the United States, but they are fleeing for their lives and see in Mexico a country that can offer protection and asylum,” Manly said in an interview released by the UN.

    As in previous years, many Central Americans continue to flee violence in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, but instead of passing through on their way to the US, many of them are looking to make a new home in Mexico, Manly said. [That is how asylum is supposed to work!—ed]

    From November 2016 to March, Mexico’s commission for refugee assistance, known as COMAR, received 5,421 asylum applications.

    During the same five-month period in 2015, the agency received 2,148 applications, Reuters reported.

    As applications for refugee status mount, the Mexico government and United Nations have had to beef up border resources to handle the strain on resources. [Good! Not our problem!—ed]

    More here.

    Endnote:

    Obama began processing Central Americans to the US as ‘refugees’ directly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala last year.

    The practice continues under Trump. We have admitted (directly from their home country) over a thousand (1,106 as of today) mostly fake ‘refugees’ from El Salvador to the US in FY2016 and 2017.

    *** Refugee definition (do you see anything in here about violence or economic need?)

    (42) The term “refugee” means:

    (A) any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality or, in the case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in which such person last habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion….

    For the zillionth time, a legitimate refugee is supposed to be able to prove he or she will be PERSECUTED! Anyone looking for economic well-being is an “economic migrant.” Fleeing gangs and violence does not make one a refugee! Notice that war isn’t mentioned either!

    If these countries and the UN actually cared so much about the safety of citizens why are they not involved in making these countries safe? Nothing will change until these countries take responsibility for the safety of their own citizens. If the countries need help ask for it.

    I think these are people who worked for the cartels and criminal organizations down there, cheated them or crossed them, and created their own situations.

    If Mexico can give Central American's asylum and "protection"...then they can PROTECT their own people.

    Deport every illegal alien back to Mexico...let their Government protect them!

    No child left behind...take your anchor babies with you!

    Sell out, pack up and go back before you are caught and deported and you lose everything.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
