<><> PDJT, with cooperation from Mexico’s Nieto, has sprung a legal trap based on longstanding intl law.

<><> intl refugee law is the UN’s 1951 Refugee Convention, ratified by 145 UN member states including Mexico and US, administered by Geneva-based UNHCR.

<><> Article 27(1) established the concept of ‘country of first asylum’.

<><>It is the first country reached by a person seeking asylum status that meets two criteria: (a) that country has offered the person refugee status, and,
(b) that country also offers sufficient protection from the conditions causing the refugee to seek asylum.

<><> ergo, Mexico’s offer to provide caravan members with asylum, housing, schooling, and work means it IS the country of first asylum.

<><> also means automatic entitled to UN assistance from UNHCR (financial medical, tents or other housing, food-—none of which is directly on the US nickel).

<><> Refugees may also seek asylum in third countries, and the first country MAY allow this under Article 26(2)(a)
‘reassignment’ (especially if first country refugees prove burdensome), but ONLY IF the further move is safe from ‘refoulment’.

<><> ‘Refoulment’ is defined as a risk of a refugee being returned by third country to country of origin from which fled seeking asylum.

DONTCHA LOVE THIS PART?---Refugees may also seek asylum in (cough) third countries; the first country MAY allow this
under Article 26(2)(a)‘reassignment’ (especially if first country refugees prove burdensome),
but ONLY IF the third move is safe from ‘refoulment’.

<><> ‘Refoulment’ is defined as a risk of refugees being returned by third country to country of origin from which they fled seeking asylum.<><>

====================================

Donald needs to issue an immediate E/O......all refugees on US soil seeking asylum are to be returned to the country of origin from which they fled.
