US Allows Entry for 8 Asylum Seekers at Border

The first eight asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border were allowed entry into the U.S. Monday evening, according to Reuters. Those eight were the first in a group of nearly 150 people in a caravan of Central American migrants still waiting in Mexico to turn themselves in at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing. The group was detained and will be vetted for possible asylum, ending a brief impasse over lack of space. The group of asylum-seekers, many fleeing threats of violence from gangs in their home countries, waited more than a day while the nation's busiest crossing facility was at capacity. After a monthlong journey across Mexico under the Trump administration's watchful eye, the asylum seekers faced an unexpected twist Sunday when U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing facility had "reached capacity."

Just say NO! They already had received asylum from Mexico so that should have ended any legal standing to obtain it here.

Trump needs to fire/charge whomever it was that let them in along with anyone assisting them.

You have no idea how much it pizzes me off that even one of these people are let in. I’m so sick of our country being taken over and our government, including Trump and his admin, allowing it....and even facilitating it in some instances.

No more angry than I am. Now, they’re getting married to come over. Any little trick.

Are these the 8? If so, that even more maddening. It’s all a scam. Why can’t immigration see this? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3651755/posts

WHY? Mexico already gave them sanctuary, leave them in Mexico. NEVER ALLOW THEM INTO THE US. Trump, do you job! Actions, not words.

Plant them in Chicongo - they’ll be begging to go back home in a couple of months.

I hope every illegal that flashed the bird or was waving the El Salvador flag was denied asylum. I hope ICE was videoing their actions, uses facial recognition software to identify them..and then points out...”Hey, you can’t support your country, or abuse ours...and then ask for asylum. Denied!”

They should not have been admitted. If these criminals have a legal right to a hearing, bring a judge to the border and hold the hearing right there. If they can make a case, put them on a lie detector right then and there in the courtroom on the border. Do not admit any more criminal illegals. Zero. No exceptions.

Apparently, via Pence, they’ve narrowed it down to 150 they’re even considering, out of the hundreds there, and no guarantee these will be allowed in.

Enemy of the state Gov. Brown certainly continuing his song and dance.....never thought I’d see the day this degree of treason against our nation and it’s people!
