WaPo Basically Admits That Mexico Is A S***Hole Country
Hot Air ^ | 21 Jul 2018 | Jazz Shaw

Posted on 07/21/2018 7:38:46 AM PDT by mandaladon

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.

No, they don't see themselves as ‘’Latinos’’. From my experience Central and South Americans hate Mexicans because they're envious of the fact Mexico borders the US and Mexicans don't have to go through as long a trek to get into the US as they do. Further more Mexicans are brutal to other Latinos who come through Mexico trying to get in here. I despise them all, Mexicans the worst.And I'm not sorry for this. I'm beyond fed up of nearly thirty years of seeing my country, my home being treated as if its a door mat and a Motel 6 for hordes of grubby, pugnacious, non assimilating, racist Third World garbage that somehow has gotten it into it's collective head that America is their common property and me, the America taxpayer is supposed to make up their deficiencies.

Yet, we have NAFTA with BOTH countries. Why?

Every trade-wind country in Latin America is set up like that; even when they elect a “native” the upper crust is all whites (usually of Spanish descent).

I’ve been to Mexico.

Many towns there are better places than many agricultural towns in the USA I’ve seen riding Greyhound buses.

A. Asylum
To qualify for asylum, you must establish that you are a refugee who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality, or last habitual residence if you have no nationality, because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. This means that you must establish that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be at least one central reason for your persecution or why you fear persecution. (See section 208 of the INA; 8 CFR sections 208 and 1208, et seq.)

To qualify for withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) of the INA, you must establish that it is more likely than not that your life or freedom would be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion in the proposed country of removal.

If you obtain an order withholding your removal, you cannot be removed to the country where your life or freedom would be threatened. This means that you may be removed to a third country where your life or freedom would not be threatened. Withholding of removal does not adhere derivatively to any spouse or child included in the application; they would have to apply for such protection on their own.

If you are granted withholding of removal, this would not give you the right to bring your relatives to the United States. It also would not give you the right to apply for lawful permanent resident status in the United States.

The funny thing is, they go to college in America on minority scholarships.

I knew a Columbian girl like this. Her blond hair and blue eyes betrayed her Germanic lineage but her Latino last name was the key to race-based handouts.

And how are we in the USA supposed to weed out gang members coming from your country?

Why don’t the police there do the same?

It’s kind of ironic, but we ‘racist’ Americans are proud of any trace of Indian blood (see Senator from Massachusetts) but Mexicans view being called ‘indio’ a serious insult. They see indios as drunk, dirty and ignorant.

Were they writing about Mexico or the US?

“Totally true, these are essentially the “Spanish” descendant line and anyone with “Indian” blood is knocked down the ladder to a lesser status.“

Why don’t the Mexicans that you see on “Telemundo” look like the “undocumented” Mexicans that see here? Answer in the above paragraph

Yes, I know some that do the same. At this point it is a race to see which is dropped from the “preferred victim” status first (ending the freebies): White women or Hispanic men.

Even if the Demwits manage to make a slight gain in the House, which I doubt, they're on track to lose six seats in the Senate (and we're losing some RINOs in the process). Thanks mandaladon.

Yes, she's Mexican.
