Large numbers of migrants giving up on U.S. asylum, Mexican officials say
Your Central Valley (El Paso, Texas) ^ | 13 Sep 2019 | Julian Resendiz and Julian Resendiz

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 that the flow is slowing down.
We will be winning when actual outflows exceed influx.
Not there yet.

In other words, “blend in.”

Right at the Yuma Wal Mart. The place is crawling with them.

Remember when we were told the illegals in Tijuana were going back home? Well, they just rushed the border at Yuma instead. .

and how this works is WhatsApp is sending messages home to say the border is closed.
These people are highly organized and highly funded.

Hopefully things will stay closed for awhile yet.

article: "… to escape the violence, poverty or persecution that drove them out of their countries."

What a joke. Thousands of retirees flock to Central America every year to enjoy the benign climate and easy going lifestyle.

By world standards, Central America is hardly impoverished. I've noticed that none of the "refugees" are starving, bedraggled, or lacking the latest sport clothes and smartphone. And none of them lacks a round little tummy.

I'm sure that legitimate refugees from places like Syria and Yemen would find Central America a paradise, and be grateful to live there, given the opportunity.

So what's the problem? Why aren't the Latino beaners content—no free stuff.

It means they are sneaking in instead of applying for asylum. The wall needs to be completed to deter these parasites.

“30 percent to 40 percent of those also have gone back home or maybe are trying to enter the U.S. through alternative means.”

I’d guess the later - I don’t see that so many just giving up and going home.

That’s how I read this; my town in NJ is full of illegals.
