The United States plans to turn back all asylum seekers and most other foreigners attempting to enter the United States from Mexico illegally, arguing the step is necessary to combat the fast-spreading coronavirus, according to U.S. media reports on Tuesday.

The new rule, which is expected to be announced in the next 48 hours, would allow border patrol agents to immediately return to Mexico anyone who tries to cross the southwestern border between legal ports of entry without detainment or due process, the New York Times reported.

Ports of entry will remain open to commercial traffic and to U.S. citizens as well as people with green cards and other foreigners with proper documentation, the Times reported, citing administration officials.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

I would like to see a judge rule against a national emergency.

[Exit148]

Should do it anyway.

[socalgop]

Telling people will discourage them from coming.

[Fla.Deporable]

Good. If the media wants to hype this into a national emergency, then no crisis should go to waste.

Turn all those money-sucking illegals back to their home countries...fix their countries and stop destroying our country..........

Ah! The seeds of people backing off this hysteria I hope.

(MSN can't push a narrative that slows/stops Illegal Immigration you know, it is an absolute necessity)

[wgmalabama]

Any judge that tries needs to be detained immediately.
