The U.S. government on Thursday began sending asylum-seekers back to Nogales, Mexico, to await court hearings that will be scheduled roughly 350 miles (563 kilometers) away in Juarez, Mexico.

Authorities are expanding a program known as Remain in Mexico that requires tens of thousands of asylum seekers to wait out their immigration court hearings in Mexico. Until this week, the government was driving some asylum seekers from Nogales, Arizona, to El Paso, Texas, so they could be returned to Juarez.

Now, asylum-seekers will have to find their own way through dangerous Mexican border roads.

About 30 asylum seekers were sent to Nogales, Mexico, on Thursday, said Gilda Loureiro, director of the San Juan Bosco migrant shelter in Nogales, Sonora.

Oh, boo-boo. They GOT here, didn't they?

[wastoute]

So if we send 30 million home we might actually be able to start paying down our debt?

Kick out ALL illegal alien invaders! OUT! Go back to your worthless countries that you abandoned. They are your countries...make them better. We don’t want you here illegally.

Yup- send them home AND build the very cheap $25 billion wall- we’ll save hundreds of billions of dollars every single year-

Democrats hate this country so much that they don’t even care that we are spending that much on illegals- The left scream about medicare and medicaid going bankrupt- but they can turn right around and find trillions of dollars for illegals and to send to terrorist nations
