[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The administration can do what Europe started doing in Africa and set up asylum hearing centers in Mexico, so people can be screened without having to enter the US first. It would of course have to involve Mexico's cooperation but it might be more productive than threatening to make them pay for the wall.[/quote]
Mexico has no incentive to curb the flood of drugs or sex trafficking. Cartels are making Mexican politicians very rich. [/quote]

Question....

When seeking asylum, isn't it incumbent upon the seeker of asylum to request it in the first country in which he or she arrives?  [/quote]

Did any of you follow the Kirstjen Nielsen hearing with Congress a few days ago?  Wow.  Scathing.  Border Patrol was breaking laws right and left and it was witnessed by members of Congress.  Refugees are supposed to go to ports of entry and on getting to the US side, request asylum, and were doing exactly that - and that is 100% legal - yet they were being treated like as if they had illegally snuck in, they were being treated as though they had not requested asylum, et cetera.  And people have witnessed it first hand.  And let's not even get into all of the other scathing items that came up in that hearing about numerous kids dying in ICE custody, being raped while in ICE custody, et cetera.  Truly disgusting.  No matter how you feel about the wall, DHS is completely mishandling all of it and frankly Nielsen needs to step down, along with many others in the CBP chain of command.[/quote]
