Large numbers of migrants giving up on U.S. asylum, Mexican officials say

About half the people who signed up to initiate asylum claims at an El Paso port of entry are no longer showing up when called, Mexican officials say.

Those officials interpret this as a sign many Central Americans and others are returning home or exploring alternatives to escape the violence, poverty or persecution that drove them out of their countries.

“We know this is going on because when they are called to meet with CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) to request asylum, we call, for example, 10 people and we are able to go down 30 to 40 numbers on the list because many don’t show up,” said Enrique Valenzuela, director of the Chihuahua state Population Council, which manages a waiting list of asylum seekers in Juarez on behalf of U.S. authorities.

As of Wednesday, 6,200 migrants remained on that list, but Valenzuela estimates that only 3,000 to 3,100 are still in Juarez.

“We believe many of those people have returned to their home country. … Even more people say they want to leave, that they don’t want to go on with their asylum request,” he said.

In addition to the list to initiate asylum claims, more than 14,000 others started the process and have been returned to wait out their cases in Mexico under the United States’ Migrant Protection Protocol Program (MPP). Valenzuela said 30 percent to 40 percent of those also have gone back home or maybe are trying to enter the U.S. through alternative means.

Good. This is exactly what Trump intended. Now that they know the “asylum ploy” won’t work, they will have to resort to sneaking across. Just like the old days.

But just wait until the next Rat president.

Just going to find a more wide open, unsecured part of the border and skip applying for asylum altogether. In other words, “blend in.”

Likely some number are entering illegally, instead of going through the asylum process.

They will have less legal standing if they are caught later.

And some number are going back.

Many more are being deterred, or sent back by the Mexicans, before they can apply for asylum.

So who is finding the caravan back south? After all, once the beast gets to the U.S.border, it has to go back south again and start over.
