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.

Well, addressing the *right* to seek asylum is more a matter of the country from which they come.
But they do not have the *right* to enter illegally nor are we obligated to give them asylum if asked for.
Besides, Mexico offered it to them and they turned it down.
That should immediately disqualify them.
“To hell with the U.N. Get them out of NYC . Dirtbags”.
I second that. However it does not solve much.
ALL governmental policy’s that are based on Agenda 21, Sustainable Development and which stem from the UN Treaty, Convention on Biological Diversity (never ratified) must be terminated. Also, any policy or governmental action found to stem from any Presidential Executive Order (they are numerous) issued since EO 12582 in 1993 that was enacted to further implement the above mentioned issues. Furthermore, rescind all legislation enacted that is designed to implement any of the above mentioned UN policies or plans such as the 1996 Sustainable Fishing Act.
This is what MUST be done.
F.U.U.N.
US out of the UN, UN off US soil!
“Reaffirm” ?? Who the H do these idiots think they are. They have zero authority to reaffirm anything for this country.
The headline is dishonest. The UN harped that they should all be free to migrate.
“Trump signed an order limiting asylum rights earlier this month”
Trump did not limit asylum claims. Any
one of these invaders can apply at a
port of entry. They’re not applying as
they know their chances of acceptance
are only 15%. They want to crash the
border, apply for asylum, get released
into the US, and disappear, knowing it
may take years for their cases to be
heard.
The UN is largely behind the attack on our border and they are laughing their asses off.
“I want to see their army go up against ours “
I want to see their army go up against one of our midsize city street gangs, or possibly some Civil War re-enactors.
F*** the UN.
The UN has no jurisdiction inside our borders. Somebody please queue-up that lovely photograph of that perforated blue helmet.
Thanks. That always gives me such a warm glow inside.
How about putting the U.N. in Tijuana or Mexico City?

Way too close. How about Uzbekistan.
Damn. Agreed!
Tell the UN to put that pronouncement where the sun doesn’t shine! It won’t work anymore.
Let’s make the UnitedNazis a refugee.... kick the entire evil cadre of them OUT OF USA, NOW!
I’ve said for better part of 20 years to HQ it in Darfur.
Where do these fags and pedophiles get the authority to “reaffirm” anything? It’s time to run their murdering asses out of our country. We’ve already got all the America-haters we need in the “democrat” party. We don’t need anymore in some old phonyass, obsolete cold war dinosaur. It might be time for Americans to remind these ***holes that America is a sovereign nation.
UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists.
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
