GENEVA (Reuters) - Asylum seekers at the Mexican border fleeing violence or persecution are entitled to lodge claims in the United States to obtain sanctuary there, U.N. agencies said in a fresh attempt to shield migrants from tough U.S. immigration policies.
United Nations officials have repeatedly urged Washington to ensure asylum seekers are protected, but U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday Mexico should send migrants seeking asylum in the United States back to their home countries.
U.S. authorities fired tear gas canisters toward migrants in Mexico - near the border crossing separating Tijuana from San Diego, California - on Sunday when some rushed through border fencing into the United States. Mexico's foreign ministry presented a diplomatic note to the U.S. government on Monday calling for a "full investigation".
After Trump signed an order limiting asylum rights earlier this month, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the United States must make sure anyone fleeing violence or persecution can get protection "without obstruction".
UNHCR spokesman Babar Baloch, asked on Tuesday about U.S. forces firing tear gas at migrants, told a Geneva news briefing:
"We are following those reports with concern, we are still trying to understand what transpired there."
Border management is "a sovereign prerogative of national governments", but border security and international protection for refugees are not mutually exclusive, he said.

So the UN is now setting immigration policy for the US? I don’t recall voting for anyone in the UN. And I don’t see that provision in my pocket copy of the Constitution.
Up yours UN!
“Seek” and “receive” are not the same thing.
They can ask and we can say no.

****
BLAH BLAH do something like sending UN troops to enforce it instead of mouthing off like you’re a big shot.
The World is finished if the UN ever gets to control it
These alians already have the fright to request asylum and our government has the right to deny the request.
To hell with the U.N.
Get rid of all UN people NOW!
The UN is a security risk to the United States of America!
Throw the UN OUT of our Country...…...NOW!
The UN went to Mexico to help them.
Message to the United Ninnies:
This is none of your &*^*( business!
Do these commies reaffirm that refugees also have the “right” to seek asylum in any of THEIR countries?
Are they willing to furnish transport to their shores, and support these people for life?
NOTE TO UN: YOU are not the United States government, nor do you have any power over it. In fact, if is wasn’t for the US Government, you wouldn’t even have a building to meet in.
Now, MYOB and go and fix Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, etc., and quit meddling in our affairs.
“Asylum seekers at the Mexican border fleeing violence or persecution are entitled to lodge claims in the United States to obtain sanctuary there, U.N. agencies said............”
The UN must learn non citizens have no rights, no entitlements in this country same as the UN has no rights, or entitlements in this country.
So, by the same logic these poor dears should be welcome in, say, Geneva, right?
And it’s our right to refuse them asylum., so stuff it UN.
Sure why not.
WE have the RIGHT to REFUSE!
We are a sovereign nation. In other words: Bite me UN!!!!!
The UN should pack up and leave our country because they are hell bent on wrecking us. There is no point in the US contributing to their evil cause. Were I Trump, I wouldn’t even replace Nikki Haley, I would tell them to beat it yesterday.
Why not they let a single judge do it. It is futile to have a President and a Congress when a Federal Judge can do it all.
Affirm all you want, morons. How about putting the U.N. in Tijuana or Mexico City?
As I posted in a previous thread, the UNHCR cares not a whit about borders or sovereignty.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is not now, or ever has been, in favor of national borders or national sovereign rights. Their ‘job’ is to MOVE refugees SOMEWHERE! At one time, during the Cold War, this organization worked for WW2 Displaced Persons and for those fleeing the Iron Curtain.
Now, they are working for ECONOMIC REFUGEES, people in mass movements, [frequently] encouraged by their native governments, moving from 3rd /4th World hell-holes to 1st World / rich World countries. The UN, an undoubtable supporter of a global governance with the UN at the top, wants to destroy nationalism and national borders. This is their goal and we must either fight them or surrender to them.
