Democrats call for end to Remain in Mexico asylum policy

The senators in the letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan question the legality and impact on U.S. interests and migrant safety of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the Remain in Mexico policy.

"Under the Remain in Mexico policy, the United States has turned its back on its domestic and international legal obligations by forcing men, women, and children to await resolution of their U.S. asylum cases in parts of Mexico plagued by violence," the senators wrote.

"While in Mexico, these asylum seekers have limited access to lawyers and shelter, which makes it nearly impossible for them to prepare their cases and effectively denies them meaningful access to the U.S. asylum system," they added.

The lawmakers noted increasing violence in cities where asylum-seekers have been made to stay and cited instances in which they were affected by violence.

"The growing body of evidence that migrants fleeing persecution face abuse or even death, along with the fact that the Remain in Mexico policy flouts our legal obligation to asylum seekers, underscores why we demand an end to this dangerous policy," they wrote. "It is imperative that the United States end this reckless course of action and reaffirm its commitment to the principles of due process on which this country was founded."

Why do Democrats want them to cross the border to be put in cages, denied medical care, sleep on the floor, drink out of toilets?

Maybe if they would stay in their home countries, they would have shelter and stuff. Maybe the Democrats should do a GoFundMe to help them have shelter in their own countries.

PDJT has to start playing and thinking THEIR (Libs) game.

If he wants to keep the invaders from crossing the border, he has to proclaim he wants them to cross the border and be allowed access to US Services.

Before the Idiots (LIBS) realize what they are doing, they will have damned the president and quickly passed legislation prohibiting it.

The old being absurd for the sake of absurdity has to come into play when you are dealing with idiots(LIBS)

Like Trump is really going to change his policy in reaction to a strongly worded letter.

Yes. That's the whole point, keep the Immigration Industry out of it.

And the fact that the Democrats are already screaming in frustration shows how effectively the new policy is working.

Exactly.

Democrats want them in the US so they can be 'put in the system' which is run by Democrats.
