Since President Trump acted on the Migrant Protection Protocols, many decided to “boycott” the “opportunity” to be illegal aliens. (Rick McKee)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “Remain in Mexico” policy enforced by the Trump Administration is working as it was intended to. People seeking asylum should be able to seek asylum in a neighboring country. If the United States isn’t that neighboring country, and the actual neighboring country offers them asylum and they refuse, did they really need asylum in the first place?<\/p>\n

Only a few, from a group of 55,000 + that applied for asylum, actually qualified for applying for asylum. The others were not authorized to enter the US. Before this policy went into effect, the majority of these individuals would’ve entered the US. The majority that didn’t actually qualify would’ve remained in the US as illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

From The Washington Times:<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the program, would-be asylum seekers wait in Mexico for their cases to be heard. If they are granted protection or relief, they are allowed into the U.S. to pursue their claim. But most do not pass the initial screen or give up their claims on their own.<\/p>\n

Under the old system, they’d already been allowed to enter the U.S. and roamed free, with few of them returning to be deported when the time came.<\/p>\n

Now they are denied that foothold and only allowed entry after they pass the first asylum hurdles.<\/p>\n

The program applies to non-Mexicans who travel through Mexico to reach the U.S.<\/p>\n

The theory behind the program is that if someone from a country other than Mexico travels through Mexico, they could claim asylum there, and their continued journey to the U.S. suggests they are more properly regular illegal immigrants seeking jobs or to reunite with families. Neither of those is considered a reason for asylum under the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some advocates, for the asylum seekers, are arguing that conditions in Mexico have become more dangerous for the “migrants”. Do they realize that those seeking asylum made the decision to make a dangerous journey, then subsequently made the decision to enter dangerous waiting conditions? It’s not the United State’s fault that these asylum seekers made the decisions that they made… Resulting in them being in those conditions.<\/p>\n
