(National Sentinel) Denied: Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nelsen said during an interview on Sunday that the migrant caravan traipsing towards the United States will not get in so they may as well turn around.
Reports over the weekend noted that about 1,700 mostly Central American migrants accepted an offer of asylum from Mexico. But thousands more refused, saying they want to be in the U.S.
But thats not going to happen, Nelson said.
There a legal way to get into this country. Those who choose to enter illegally will be stopped, she told Fox News Sunday.
Nelson noted that most of those coming to the U.S. by caravan will likely try to claim they fear returning to their home countries and will attempt to seek asylum. Thats because they know how that works in the U.S.: They will be released into the country and told to return at a later date for an asylum hearing, but most dont and simply disappear inside the country as illegal aliens.

Just saw Trump on Laura’s show. We’re building tent cities (not sure where) but he said they’re not getting in.
They’ll be met with shouldered arms, not open arms.
MAGA!
(O, I forgot, that is “hateful” /s)
If they’re not in mexico, it means they’re getting in.
I’m glad we have a DHS. I hate to think what would happen to the country if we didn’t /s
Bet they are in Mexico, otherwise why bother?
At last, a President who keeps his word.
Military should cross the border into Mexico by 100 yards.
I hope so...I just heard a short clip of PDJT and Laura and I thought he said that they were going to be given a chance to apply for asylum(After they refused asylum in mexico) I’m hoping I heard that wrong.
Run by Sheriff Joe?
Any one with twitter or connection to Trump bombard him and let him know assylum off the table due to they turned down first country they came to and that offered it to them. USA owes them (illegal invaders) NOTHING.
Agreed. Our borders need to be shutdown and we need at least a 25 year moratorium on all immigration.
This lawlessness crap has got to stop.
Holding them in a detention camp under guard in a US location is not the same as “letting them in the country”.
I think he said asylum requests would be processed while in tent camps and that 80% of them would be sent back, i.e. not catch and release. Still, we should not even have to be processing this pack of slime. I assume that would only be the ones who slip through whatever the military is going to fortify.
Hope so, too. Why say we are turning them away, yet still grant asylum?
Thank you.
True, but the media will follow
their mo·dus op·e·ran·di and try
to make Trump out as a heartless
maniac. Babies and children being
held in deplorable conditions. No
food, blankets, in locked cages.
That seems pretty clear to me. Don’t let any of them in.
“Hope so, too. Why say we are turning them away, yet still grant asylum?”
It’s really dumb. Trump is going to take a big political hit if he does this.
