I’m sorry, but isn’t that sort of… racist? The Washington Post is declaring that we can’t tell migrants to apply for asylum in Mexico because so many of them “suffer exploitation, violence and sexual assault” in that nation. Wait… are you saying that Mexico is full of rapists? And if you’re quoting statistics saying that 12 of the 50 most violent cities in the world are in Mexico, that their law enforcement system is “weak,” their courts are “flimsy” and it’s full of gangs, it kind of sounds like you’re describing a real ****hole nation to me. I thought people who said things like that were, by definition, racists. At least I’m sure I read that somewhere.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well worth reading the whole article...

“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...

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.

The Obama admin wasn't "flummoxed" by the flood of refugees in 2014.

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.

To their credit, the WaPo’s editors begin by admitting that we do, in fact, have a refugee crisis on our hands.

Decades late to the party... and a dollar short...

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?

Yet, we have NAFTA with BOTH countries. Why?

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.

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?
