EL PASO, Texas/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 1% of the migrants sent to wait in Mexico pending the outcome of their U.S. asylum claims have successfully claimed that they would face danger if they had to stay in Mexico, a top U.S. immigration official said on Friday.Those who prove they face danger in Mexico can be allowed to pursue their asylum claims while living in the United States. Reuters found similar numbers after analyzing immigration court data. More than 15,000 migrants claiming asylum in the United States after crossing the U.S.-Mexican border, most of them Central Americans, have been sent back to Mexico to wait for their cases to be processed since January under the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), according to Mexican officials.

I have a very liberal friend who complains about President Trumps Stan on the border. She thinks we ought to let them come into the US. I asked her if she was happy with the school system and the number of kids in each classroom. She said no, it was a disgrace. I asked her how many kids would be in a classroom if all illegals went home. She couldn’t answer me.

Think about it. We feed, clothe, house and educate them. That allows them to send their earnings back to their home country.

Yeah but you watch- the left will scream about an ‘epidemic of rape’ happening across the border, and will claim the illegal invaders have to get into America because ity’s too dangerous on the mexican side

Dollars to donuts that’s what will happen

1 percent is too much

No kidding!

I have to wonder who it is that's processing these requests.
Do we have a bunch of libs sitting there rubber stamping every asylum request they see, while others are actually doing the job of screening?

Prepare to be outraged

We do all that- and lots more- to the tune of between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR (Cps for emphasis)-

We spend that every single year on illegals in this country- and these figures were from more than a decade ago- we’re very likely spending over $1 TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR now on illegals when all the direct AND indirect costs are added up

Even IF the wall cost us $100 BILLION DOLLARS to build, that would be a one time fee, and would save us over $500 BILLION DOLLARS the very first year, and save that amount every year from the n on (there of course will be some maintenance fees on the wall, and costs to patrol and what not- but it wil l be a drop i n the bucket fro m what we’re losing every year now)

The trouble is, the people who vote for illegal alien invasion and care don't think about it. They feel about it.

Best reply of the day.
