Thread: Mexicans Facing Drug War Violence Could Seek Political Asylu

Would there by ANY mexican citizens left in mexico if this sham goes through?

A drug war is not "political" and political asylum should not be used for one specific group. There are thousands of people from all over the world who want to get in as political asylees(sp?), why would mexican citizens have special exemptions just for them?

Are rules (such as proving their cases) going to be relaxed for Mexicans who want to come to the US?

MILITARIZE the border and let mexico take care of its own problems! We have enough of our own problems dealing with the 12 + million mexican illegals in this country, along with millions of illegals from other countries.

"I am sorry for anyone being threatened or persecuted, however, are we going to end up with all of Mexico inside the United States of America? Where does it end? What is wrong with the government of Mexico? Why don't they offer secure sanctuary for their citizens? Everybody in Mexico has an excuse to cross our border.

Let our actions be our words and our votes. Events are going against our government's actions, and they will continue. The death of the rancher was a big wake up call, and more will come from unsecured borders."

This could not be better said. Thank you.

while shepard smith on Fox opened with the Kansas abortion killer, i switched over to CNN and they had this as the first story that had a report at the top of the hour. Unfortunately, the entire story and report was no more than a minute

One minute,

John 11:25-26
It is written, Jesus said ... "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Mexican Violence Could Flood U.S. with Refugees

The explosion of violence over drugs along the Mexican border not only puts the lives of American citizens at risk, it also raises the specter of an increase in illegal immigration.

Legal immigration will likely increase as well, FoxNews.com reports.

In years past, many Mexicans who wanted to move to the United States were rejected, because Mexico was a peaceful democracy.

But with the escalating drug wars, that’s changing. And along with the legal immigrants, a surge of illegal immigrants might make its way across the border.

For example, Fox reports, last week, at least 30 Mexicans from the besieged town of El Porvenir walked to the border at Fort Hancock, Tex.

Instead of being sent back, as was routine in the past, they were taken to El Paso, and their asylum cases will be considered.

In recent days, conditions in El Porvenir have gotten even worse, Fox reports. So authorities are worried about a surge of refugees from there, who might overwhelm the border at once.

Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is concerned.

"The entire system of political asylum claims was set up for a different era," he told Fox.

"It was to protect people from repressive governments, but now is being used when there is just a general breakdown of order."

A flood of immigrants from Mexico could put an already strained system into gridlock, he says.

“Once an avenue of appeal is opened, then it will become used," he said. And many of those using it won’t be qualified for immigration, he points out.

The immigrants who have come here feel differently, of course.

``I definitely feel safer now,'' Jose Jimenez, a mechanic now working in a U.S. town told The Miami Herald.

``But I'm still nervous. These criminals have resources and contacts everywhere.''
