Report: U.S. Begins Accepting Caravan Migrants In for Asylum Claims
Breitbart ^ | Breitbart Texas

Posted on 11/15/2018 3:04:56 AM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Mexican federal authorities at the ports of entry in Tijuana are now allowing migrants from the Central American caravan into the U.S. so they can begin asylum requests.

This week, at the Chaparral Port of Entry in Tijuana, Mexican immigration officials announced 90 Central American caravan migrants would be allowed to advance to ask for asylum, journalist Rebecca Plevin reported. Twenty-five asylum seekers were allowed on Monday and 60 more on Tuesday.

At El Chaparral port of entry in Tijuana, Mexican immigration officials say 90 people will be allowed to make asylum claims today. People cheer; some 25 were allowed Monday, around 60 yesterday, we hear.

The groups in Tijuana awaiting asylum include hundreds of members from the migrant caravan that departed in October from Honduras with the ultimate goal of reaching the U.S. border. It remains unclear if the migrants will be detained while their asylum claim is processed, or if they will be released due to lack of space in detention facilities.

While the caravan was not expected to reach the U.S. border for weeks, hundreds of members were shuttled in buses with federal police escorts along various parts of the journey from Mexico City to Tijuana. The group decided to aim for the west coast rather than traverse more dangerous regions controlled by drug cartels known for being ruthless to migrants. While Tijuana is currently seeing record-setting murders tied to cartel violence, the local organizations do not typically target migrants for violent extortion schemes.

Now the question is will these “assholeios” be held or released.

Listen clam down. I think catch and release is over. These invaders are going to be held and repatriated.

The military has been building holding facilitates. As the laws are written now, asylum seekers at legal points of entry have to be admitted. They will be held. If they are released then I will be all on board the screaming and yelling brigade.

Looks like the snowflake in the purple baseball hat still hasn’t found herself a boyfriend yet.

Hopefully we can detain the asylum seekers in tent cities until their day before the judge comes.

The ones who don't come in through the asylum process at a port of entry I think get sent back if caught without an opportunity to claim asylum according to the EO Trump signed earlier this month. That will be challenged in court and we will see where that goes. So no illegal entry followed by claiming asylum is already in place currently.

1. Unarmed illegals are NOT going to be shot.
2. Existing laws on asylum suck but they are what they are.
3. These interlopers will be detained.
4. The problem in the past is there was no place to hold them long term until processed, adjudicated and repatriated.
5. The way I understand it, the military has been building facilities to hold these invaders - long term
6. Calm down, this is the first act.

Clearly, we have been lied to at the top level of this Administration.

Pres. Trump promised us this would not happen. It’s happening.

Supposedly they have now put some at the top and bottom on our side. So why couldn’t they figure out to do that ahead of time? The Border Patrol had to know that the wall was scalable there.

I’ve been across that border many times. It’s not the mexican federal authorities that allow you into the US. It is the US federal authorities.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my post just before this one.

Neither country allows people into the other country. All they can do is block you from leaving the country. And that is an old “East Germany” sort of thing.

I knew when it was announced the military would be sent to the border that it was a big joke. The military does nothing because they aren’t allowed to stop the illegals by any means necessary.
