The Trump administration began implementing a new hard-line immigration policy by sending a single asylum-seeker from Central America back to Tijuana, Mexico, to await his assigned court date later this year in San Diego.
The first asylum-seeker to be returned to Mexico was a Honduran man identified as Carlos Catarlo Gomez. He appeared confused and scared by the throng of reporters waiting for him Tuesday on the Mexican side of the San Ysidro border crossing, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He was whisked away by Mexican authorities.
Officially dubbed "Migrant Protection Protocols," the policy was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen last December. Administration officials initially called it a "Remain in Mexico" policy to deter the waves of asylum-seeking families fleeing mainly the Northern Triangle nations of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
Until now, asylum-seekers were allowed to remain in the U.S., pending their immigration court appearances.
There is a backlog of 800,000 cases piled up in U.S. immigration courts. The number of migrants detained at the border is near its lowest level in decades, even as the number of asylum-seekers has doubled since 2015.

More winning.

About damn time.
30,000 a month have been getting released into the USA.
Many people don’t know how big this is.
So many illegals come into the US, ask for asylum, get a ticket to show for court and 95% never show. Now they can pull that scam. Well done President Trump.
oops should have read—
Now they CAN’T pull that scam.
Not that I am complaining..
But how in the hell did the democrats not find a judge to stop this?
“He appeared confused and scared by the throng of reporters waiting for him Tuesday on the Mexican side of the San Ysidro border crossing, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.”
a very good thing..
Where is Ann’s tweet about this?
ping
I’d add this to my cable lineup if they’d tape it...
Call the program “See YA!..Tough to BE YA!”
Is this some kind of JOKE, NPR? We should be INUNDATING MEXICO with HUNDREDS AT A TIME. Actually, we should be SHOVING THESE INVADERS SO FAR UP MEXICO'S ARSE THEY'LL BURST AT THE SEAMS.
Seconded. Excellent precedent, Mr. President.
Our President keeps his promises
Thank you President Trump.
It’s a deal Trump made with Mexico.
A 9th circus judge would have no
standing to stop it.
She was trying to eat a cheeseburger and then gagged.
There is a backlog of 800,000 cases piled up in U.S. immigration courts.
And there will be no additional budget for those, so, checkmate.
Reporters are like Leeches
And that’s stopped a judge when??

One? One...jeez. The numbers need to increase EXPONENTIALLY And the process needs to spread across the WHOLE BORDER. Send back 100% now and the number that need to be sent back in the future will dwindle to insignificance.
