Elizabeth, a Salvadoran mother of three, had grown increasingly desperate after waiting nearly five months in the dangerous border city of Tijuana, Mexico, for her turn to seek asylum in the United States.
She was told there was an easier way: Pay thousands of dollars and be led across the border with her three children, ages 18, 9 and 7.
Instead, according to Elizabeth, they were brought to armed men who kidnapped them and took them briefly to a farm. Eventually, they told her they would separate her from her oldest daughter if they crossed the Rio Grande.
“I got scared they were going to do something to her,” she said in Spanish. The men took everything they had. “I thought if they kill us and leave us here, no one will find us.”
The decision has shaken Elizabeth, who only wanted her first name used out of concerns for her and her children's safety, and she said the men have called her cousin in Tijuana, threatening their lives.
When the family’s name was called from a notebook allowing them to approach the port of entry this fall, Elizabeth, who fled El Salvador to escape escalating abuse and ongoing threats from her husband and gang members, was told she would be sent back to Tijuana to wait for court dates in the U.S.
This week marks the one-year anniversary of the implementation of the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and advocates say the rule has put tens of thousands of asylum-seekers in harm’s way while making it more difficult for them to access protection in the U.S. Nearly 60,000 people have been put under the program since it began on the border separating Tijuana from San Diego, according to data through December obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, Syracuse University.

Who cares? Go to your crappy country...and make it better. Uncle Sugar no longer exists. No welfare for you!!!
“the dangerous border city of Tijuana, Mexico”
What? Is she calling Mexico a “Hell hole”??? Racist!
Ah, but there’s a catch. If you claim you are a refugee, you can get all the freebies that Uncle Sap offers. That’s why they are all “refugees” now, supposedly fearful of the gangs that run their s**thole countries.
If ABC news were pro-America, and not the haters they are, the headline would read: One year into "Remain in Mexico" policy, America better off - should have happened many years ago.
They can turn around and go home. They are not refugees. We do not need them here.
Looks like the emergency room at our hospital
Well, that sob story was the one that broke this camel’s back. Go ahead — let them all in!
Boo hoo, GO HOME!
—
yup
Then they should go home or find work in Mexico.
This is a must-watch video using gumballs as number representations of poor people immigrating to the USA. It hurts the USA and the countries they are from. It solves nothing. It isn’t possible for the USA to support the world’s poor.

So where is the BABY DADDY ?
new immigration policy is no means of support, no entry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That “new” policy is what the LAW has been for decades.
We just did not have a President that sided with the citizens and the rule of law.
Cute little barbarians. We should let them in so they can swell the ranks of the baby gangs.
If those people put half as much effort, energy and money into changing their home countries as they do trying to sneak into ours.....they would have one damned fine country to live in.
“I just spent a few days in Tijuana”
When you came back did the use a beeber like device on you ?
Oh yeah, we need lots more of these “productive”, “well-educated”, “highly skilled” parasites infesting Uncle Sam. The only talent I’ve seen so far is LYING and PROCREATING. We need more low skilled welfare parasites like we need free samples of coronavirus. Send them all back, let us then experience an economic surge not having to waste money on these moochers.
Did you have barbecued Iguana?
Human garbage. They don’t give a damn for their own countries, they’ve screwed them up, they hate us and feel they’re entitled to just barge in here and drain our welfare programs.
Good point.
