Wall Street Journal ^ | 06/19/2019 | Louise Radnofsky

One of the problems is that we have a loophole on immigration law that says that anybody can request asylum, and courts have ruled that once that paper is in the system, illegals can't safely wait anywhere in the world except here. However, if Guatemala agrees to hold such people, they should be able to wait there. To be sure, we would have to give money to Guatemala, but compared to releasing a million, 2, 3, 20 million more here, that sounds like a better outcome.

I thought asylum seekers have to seek asylum from the first country they reach.

No worries. I’m sure one of these vaunted “Trump judges” will change that any minute. Oh, wait. That’s not happening. I wonder why that could be?

It’s not just “the first country they reach.” According to the article, it has to sign a “Safe-Third Agreement.”

“To be sure, we would have to give money to Guatemala,”

If you fund something you get more of it. Cut them off cold. Also they all seem to have 4 or 5 thousand a person. 15 or 20k per family to pay the cartels.
How many of American blue collar people have 15 or 20k laying around for a family vacation?

This money is coming from somewhere. Go after the source of the money and kill this BS. Charge the banks handling the money with human trafficking.

We are already getting "more of it."

If you can cut off the financing for the invasion, let's do it. Meanwhile, they are still coming.

Never trust Guatemala Gov!
It is all about $$$ and Power for the leadership.
They could care less about their people.

Seems like it depends. A new term as of this week it “safe third country” and supposedly if mehico doesn’t curb aliens, they’ll have to agree to become one of the safe 3rd countries but I guess Guatemala already has or has agreed to.

Weird eh? Here we’ve been told for a long time that people are supposed to ask for asylum the first country they get to. Now it has to be some Safe 3rd country.

The rules they keep a changin

+1000.

If states would cut off the welfare spigot, and if our DAMN House of Representatives— when we had a Republican majority— had followed suit, we wouldn’t be having this invasion.

But you are not surprised that they didn't, because you know the difference between RINOs and patriots.
