“opens a new legal gateway for some of them to appeal for permission to stay in the country”
Who would hear the appeal? A 9th circuit
judge? If that’s the case, then all an
asylum seeker has to do is immediately
file for an appeal, and then disappear.
They have effectively just given all
asylum seekers a free pass. The only
thing that will slow them down a bit,
is it is ruled they will still have to
wait in Mexico until their appeal is
heard. This is going to be an even bigger
mess.
No possible way to make them wait in Mexico. Few are doing that, most are just crossing illegally and asking Border Patrol for asylum when they are apprehended. As per the Supreme Court ruling that even people entering illegally have to allowed to apply for asylum. Other laws say they can only be held in detention a short time then they have to be released into this country. With the court rulings we are forced to allow them in, and forced to allow them to apply for asylum even when here illegally. This court is saying asylum seekers can appeal their decision if denied . So even those that don't make it through the original screening process cannot be deported, because they will appeal!!! Nothing is going to slow them down because if it did a judge would rule against doing it.
