Introduction: International Standards
The concept of first country of asylum is defined in Article 26 of the APD:
A country can be considered to be a first country of asylum for a particular applicant for asylum if:
(a) s/he has been recognised in that country as a refugee and s/he can still avail him/herself of that protection; or
(b) s/he otherwise enjoys sufficient protection in that country, including benefiting from the principle of non-refoulement; provided that s/he will be re-admitted to that country. In applying the concept of first country of asylum to the particular circumstances of an applicant for asylum Member States may take into account Article 27 (1).
It should be noted that Member States are not required to apply the concept of first country of asylum, as Article 26 is a permissive provision.1
However, in accordance with the APD, those Member States which apply the concept are not required to examine whether an applicant qualifies as a refugee or for subsidiary protection status, where a country which not a Member State is considered as a first country of asylum for the applicant pursuant to Article 26.2
In other words, the Member State may consider such applications as inadmissible.

We are all speculating this is how Trump plans to get around accepting Asylum seekers - presumably his lawyers have advised him
If we had a wall, there’d be no caravan. We wouldn’t have to worry about this in the first place. We wouldn’t have to worry about birthright citizenship either.
Two years in, no wall.

“.....
Lectures and lecture requests, Lecture clients (Please refrain from offering honorary degrees, awards, listings in “100 most...”,& similar debasements of knowledge that turn it into spectator sport).
.....”
Notice what’s in between the parenthesis’s ! I like that statement!
I hate the honorary degree crap! Giving people rewards for showing up! Nothing expresses more what’s wrong with the world then stuff like that!
Hopefully PDJT will be explicit in stating that children born to parents in the USA on temporary visas are not entitled to USA citizenship. We have no idea how many visitor visa babies are born every day.
Try this: Ann Coulter - October 31, 2018 - The True History Of Millstone Babies.
Brand them with a scarlet letter D for denied. They’ll be easier to identify next time they try getting in.
Branding should be a feature of deportations. The problem is that the memory of tattoed concentration camp prisoners has a bad image.
Neverthe less, deprotees should be marked for life
Very good article from the “sane” Ann Coulter. (she must be back on her meds)
In case you missed it, Trump alluded to this in his national speech.
We didn't miss it, we just didn't understand how this would work; what are the legal means - this thread is to help those like me understand ...
YES! He is...
I wasn’t aware of the last few points in section B of that post. Good info!
If we had the wall, illegal immigration drops 99% meaning birthright citizens also drop 99%. Is it still a problem? Of course. Would it be as serious an impact to society as it is now? I don’t think so.
I hope that PDJT addresses the children born here of foreign parents on temporary visas as well. Some countries, like China, participate in a big scam on us by sending pregnant women here very soon before giving birth so their babies can be American citizens. Then the whole chain migration thing can happen.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer failed state.
Heh......
Let’s make sure we are on the same level here.
I am not saying birthright citizenship is not a problem. It is.
I AM saying the problem with birthright citizenship is GREATLY exacerbated by the huge numbers of illegals coming thru the southern border.
Fix the southern border with the wall and the problem caused by birthright citizenship decreases dramatically.
Are there others abusing it? Surely. We can fix those problems too but the serious, high priority problem caused by birthright citizenship is fixed by the wall.
I agree. I hope that PDJT can get it done.
All the more reason to drastically reduce the money we hand over to the UN.
