Migrants in Mexico dismayed by continuation of U.S. border policy that restricts asylum

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - For thousands of migrants who have waited for months in northern Mexico, Monday was supposed to mark the moment when the U.S. government finally dropped a pandemic-era policy that has largely prevented them from seeking asylum in the United States.

Instead, May 23 marked the latest setback for many migrants, after a federal judge in Louisiana blocked U.S. authorities from lifting the sweeping policy, known as Title 42, which since March 2020 has empowered U.S. agents to quickly turn back over a million migrants to Mexico and other countries.

“First they said they were going to open the border to asylum claims, then they said they weren't," said Max Alexander Gonter, 24, who said he has spent nearly two years waiting in Mexico to seek asylum after fleeing poverty and violence in Honduras.

"I can't stand this anymore, I'm exhausted," he said, standing outside a migrant shelter in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey on Sunday.

U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, came into office in January 2021 promising to undo the hardline immigration policies of his predecessor Donald Trump, but has so far struggled to keep campaign promises to change the system.

The continuation of Title 42 is the latest flip-flop in policy that has dismayed migrants.

Someone should tell him we can’t stand this anymore, either.

All I want is a border stance as strong as Mexico’s border enforcement.

“...to seek asylum after fleeing poverty...”

So now fleeing poverty is an excuse to enter ANY country in the world? Is that it? I hear South Korea and Japan are prosperous. Go over there and see what happens to you when you demand asylum.

It’s not all about the migrants. If migration doesn’t benefit the people who are already here, it needs to stop.

Here is some bio on this leftist troll writing this drivel:

Laura Gottesdiener is a freelance journalist based in New York City. The author of A Dream Foreclosed: Black America and the Fight for a Place to Call Home, her writing has appeared in Mother Jones, Al Jazeera, Guernica, Common Dreams, Playboy, RollingStone.com, and TomDispatch.

Almost sounds like a fictionalized bio of every leftwing crud sandwich out there.

“I can’t stand this anymore, I’m exhausted.”

So go home and fix your own country. We have our fill of illiterate 3rd world peasants.

I’m dismayed by the invasion even with Title 42.

Tough Shite! BY Mexican, US, and Intl law you cannot seek asylum by skipping one country and criminally going into another. If you are not from Mexico, stay there.

Like I said, TS. If Mexico doesn’t want you, why in ‘Ell should a 1st world country?

Laura Gottesdiener is a correspondent for Reuters based in Mexico. She reported all of her pieces for The Nation before joining Reuters.

With all the problems Biden has caused, we are fresh out of concern for "migrants" waiting to become Illegals. In fact, it's a little bit of good news that they are still south of the border.

So, they migrate to a country in the throes of rising inflation, shortages of essentials, advertised to be violently racist against the melaninated, awash with disease, an affordable housing shortage and they also lack job skills.

Not to mention the country’s native population is reaching maximum dissatisfaction and is armed.

These people are terminally stupid. True useless tools.
