:: able to demonstrate a “credible fear” ::
What isn’t said is that “credible fear” will be based on their return to MEXICO who has provided them free and safe travel through their nation.
NONE of these people have a “credible fear” claim. If they were really in fear they would take refuge in the 1st country available to them, Mexico.
If you listen to them they say, “well Mexico said I could only stay for a year.” and “I want to be in the US because I can get a job there.” This is NOT “credible fear” it is THEIR PREFERENCE.
That’s good, but where are they going to put them? Right now, seems as though everything is full.
When they’re taking the person’s name, aren’t they asked why they came here? I’d estimate 95% (or more) are economic migrants, not asylum seekers. As soon as the person says they came here because they couldn’t find a job in their home country, they should be put on a bus headed back.
Aren’t they doing any kind of 5min preliminary interview?
