Trump suspends asylum system, leaving immigrants illegal aliens to face an uncertain future

Fixed it.

[DouglasKC]

They don’t tell you that leftists were “educating” all illegals to claim asylum because that would get them in the country faster.

[packrat35]

Since Jan 20, this was the new rule. The news has been out that “homey don’t play that no moe”. But keep on trying our patience and see what it got you.

As they say in the westerns, “There’s a new marshall in town”...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

YES, INDEED

[paulcissa]

Attorneys who work frequently with asylum-seekers at the border say their phones have gone quiet since Trump took office

Oh noes! But, but…muh grift!

[adorno]

They come for asylum, insisting they face persecution for their religion, or sexuality or for supporting the wrong politicians, or for escaping the justice system for their crimes, and a lot of other BS excuses

[digger48]

Here’s an idea...

GO HOME!

[clearcarbon]

"They come for asylum, insisting they face persecution for their religion, or sexuality or for supporting the wrong politicians."

Is that the reason for the assumption that they will vote democrat? (Dems: Vote for us or else!)

[Georgia Girl 2]

😭

[ConservativeMind]

The UN agreement I understand we are under says that asylum can only be requested from an immediately connected country, if not from within the country of residence. We would handle Canada and Mexico, in that case.

Everyone else should be sent home, at their cost.

[sheana]

Yes. There are a lot of countries between here and Russia.

[Savage Beast]

There is no reason for their future to be uncertain. There are many places besides the USA to go. And they must know that to enter the USA illegally is a crime.

[9YearLurker]

And the system is all still in place waiting for the other sheriff, or enough deputies in Congress, to return.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

No there’s not, Siberia is right next to Alaska.

[packrat35]

I think there is an exception for those flown in in special circumstances, but yes, once you cross a border, there is your asylum...

Crossing multiple borders was specifically not an option for that very reason. Countries could volunteer to take some if the host country was struggling with large numbers.

The reason the South Africans have to come here is that none of their border countries will give them aasylum...

Trump suspends asylum system, leaving diseased migrant-invading aliens to face an uncertain future

[Sam Gamgee]

What Trump doesn’t want to race Canada, Germany and the UK to the ground with importing the third world?

[Waverunner]

Best New Marshall scene ever...

[Racketeer]

Many ways to skin this cat!!

[The Free Engineer]

Millions of fake asylum seekers, and their Democrat enablers, have ruined it for the actually prosecuted.
