U.S. and Mexican officials have agreed on a plan to handle the approaching migrant caravan making their way up from Central America, a senior administration official told Fox News on Thursday.
over the course of several months, Mexico will request that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) establish shelters along its southern border with Central America, the official said.
Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Geronimo Gutierrez elaborated on the request, during an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report.”
“Just today, the Mexican government, and this is a very important step, requested the intervention of the U.N., the Office of the High Commissioner on Refugees, to help Mexico review any asylum claims from the members of the caravan,” Gutierrez said. “That will allow us to have a process by which in our border we will make sure that of serving human rights, respecting international law, if there are legitimate claims to refugee, those can be processed in a very clear way.”
If an individual manages to evade the new system and travels through Mexico to eventually cross the border into the U.S., Mexico will now allow those persons to be returned to Mexico, the official told Fox News. Currently, the U.S. has had to house those people until their cases could be adjudicated before being removed to their country of origin.
At the established shelters, U.N. officials will vet the refugees to decide which ones have legitimate claims for refugee status, the official told Fox News.
If a person or persons is determined to have a legitimate claim, they will undergo a U.N. process of being placed in a host country, which could ultimately be the U.S. or any other country that has an agreement with the UNHCR, the official said.

I don’t see the U.N. involvement as being anything other than problematic. Whenever it steps in to “help” there’s reason to be concerned about outcomes. They have a strong anti-US bias.
That's very interesting and could have real implications. Link?
since when has the UN followed rules unless it was detrimental to the USA
“Just today, the Mexican government, and this is a very important step, requested the intervention of the U.N.,..
I said this is what Mexico would do in seizing a opportunity to generate $$$$ from the UN.......like Turkey they will then establish a refugee camp ....and then use them as ‘political cannon fodder’ ....leverage to negotiate with the US to get what they want or threaten to cut them loose on the USA.
The refugees would be granted to stay in Mexico not the U.S.
This would have no effect on their status wrt our country
This, as I interpret this is a huge win. Asylum applications to be handled at Mexico’s southern border, and not in America’s catch and release backlogged courts.
If asylum is approved, the invaders have no clue what country they will be sent to.
And most importantly, Mexico is sating they will accept people from other countries that have illegally transited Mexico to the US rather than the US having to deport them back to their country of origin.
You people need to read the article. The UN personnel can grant asylum to enter Mexico not the US.
In addition, those caught trying to enter the US illegally are immediately turned over to Mexico.
Another victory for the President.
Only morons can’t see this is a victory they are so used to losing.
Your fears will not be realized
That was my take on this but don’t tell the lamebrains, they prefer to believe nonsense and hyperventilate.
These are not refugees...they are ‘economic’ migrants....
This is ‘phase two’ of the globalist plan for re-distribution of 3rd world populations into western nations.
Third world nations tend to have economies ‘dependent on’ the developed countries and are generally characterized as poor with ‘unstable governments’ and having ‘high rates of population growth, illiteracy, and disease.
Globalist/UN/Lefts Solution is to redistribute poor populations into western nations....period.
You are wrong.
Children are referred by UN PARTNERSHIPS [the U.N. already does the vetting for the U.S.!!!] mostly based in other countries as victims of trafficking or asylum seekers.
Human trafficking is for the purpose of forced labor, sexual
slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation: National Human Trafficking Resource Center: 1 (888) 373-7888 **PEDOGATE or PIZZAGATE victims
Apparently you are unaware that we have a Leader.
The UN will be on it’s best behavior for fear of pissing off Trump.
Now the “release” will be to Mexico not the US.
You missed my point...too tired to argue about it.
“If an individual manages to evade the new system and travels through Mexico to eventually cross the border into the U.S., Mexico will now allow those persons to be returned to Mexico...”
With enough Central American’s stuck in Mexico, Mexico WILL help build a wall on our border! No sense going through Mexico anymore if you can’t get into the USA.
..... It is currently being reported on a site called Judicial Watch.
100 ISIS Terrorists Caught in Guatemala as Central American Caravan Heads to U.S. sees.
There’s a limit of 30,000 refugees taken into the US each year, thanks to Trump. Better a Honduran drug lord than a Muzzie.
.... It should be noted that it does not specifically state that they were specifically caught in the Caravan but recently in Guatemala which is the cause for concern.
