To their credit, the WaPo’s editors begin by admitting that we do, in fact, have a refugee crisis on our hands. They go one step further, admitting that the Obama administration was “flummoxed” by the unending flow of families and unaccompanied children trying to flee Central and South America and enter the United States, particularly in 2014. But they are dismissive of the one solution being put forward by the Trump administration which might actually make a difference. We’ve had a “safe third country” agreement with Canada since 2004. Under that plan, migrants are to apply for asylum in the first “safe” country they reach. So why can’t we have a similar deal with Mexico? Because, at least in the opinion of the Washington Post’s editors, Mexico is too much of a craphole nation to offer them any safety.
In 2002, the United States and Canada secured a similar arrangement, known as a “safe third country” agreement. It has worked because Canada is, in fact, a safe third country: Migrants who apply for asylum there are secure, and their cases are fairly adjudicated.
By contrast, Mexico is patently unsuitable as a place of refuge for most migrants, especially those from Central America, who suffer exploitation, violence and sexual assault almost routinely as they make their way north. In a recent report, Doctors Without Borders noted that two-thirds of Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Honduran migrants in Mexico have reported being victims of violence; almost a third of migrant women there had been sexually assaulted. Twelve of the world’s 50 most violent cities are in Mexico. Forcing refugees to seek sanctuary in Mexico would thrust tens of thousands of them into a country with weak law enforcement, a flimsy judicial system, an anemic asylum process and predatory criminal gangs.

Good thing president Trump didn’t say all that...
Panama is “safe”. Send them there.

No....Panama is too snakey.

The msm is so two faced. This with the Washington Post and last week’s NYT’s slap against the LGBT crowd with it’s filthy Trump/Putin gay love video.
But Mexico isn’t a country...
No, it’s Canada that isn’t a country.
It engineered the flood in coordination with the Mexican government.
Since "treason" is the topic of the day, let's talk about how this qualifies.
Sorry, we don’t need an agreement with Mexico on asylum. We just need to stop granting it on the border with Mexico.
Asylum should be granted only under rare circumstances, and not a blanket coverage to an entire country’s population or many countries.
Whitey Jeff Bezos paper calls Mexico a sh*thole country...my how racist.
Awaiting comment from Vincente Fox...
Mexico itself has a complex caste system that rivals India in it's rigid racial delineation.
At the top are the ethnic European Mexican "Gueros" (male) or "Gueras" (female). These are white Mexicans. ("Gringo" is a white non-Mexican).
Las güeras, Zapopan, Jalisco, México
Most Americans probably had no idea there are Mexicans who look like the four young woman standing in this photo. We don't see them jumping the border fences or swimming across the Rio Grande. In Mexico, Gueros make up the elite and upper-middle classes and largely enjoy lives of comfort. Indeed, their plan to "Make Mexico Great Again" primarily involves shipping their unskilled, illiterate Mestizo underclass to us.
Interesting picture....point well made. Bravo!
They throw their trash over the property line and our crooked politicians willingly accept it.
And call us "racists" if we object, which is kinda ironic when you think about it because there's no way the fathers of those four Mexican women in the photo above would ever in a million year allow their daughters to bring home some dusky-skinned, tattooed cholo.
Decades late to the party... and a dollar short...
Totally true, these are essentially the “Spanish” descendant line and anyone with “Indian” blood is knocked down the ladder to a lesser status.
The tribes I refer to are the ancient Indian cultures of the region (Mayan, Aztec etc.) who have never really enjoyed equal status with the ruling class there.
Hi.
May I suggest building the Wall faster and deporting all illegal aliens to Europe? The seem to want illegals in their countries.
Win win.
