The Trump administration on Friday will start forcing some asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. courts, an official said, launching what could become one of the more significant changes to the immigration system in years.
The changes will be introduced at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, according to a U.S. official familiar with the plan who spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because it was not yet publicly announced. San Ysidro is the nation's busiest crossing and the choice of asylum seekers who arrived to Tijuana, Mexico, in November in a caravan of more than 6,000 mostly Central American migrants.
The policy, which is expected to face a legal challenge, may be expanded to other crossings. It does not apply to children traveling alone or to asylum seekers from Mexico.

Democrats to Trump, "Let us have DACA and you can have the wall"??????? So they want to let people who came here illegally to stay here and let Trump build a wall that will stop people from coming here illegally to stay here? Uh, that doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteI approve of Trump. Plus he needs to go arrest the employers of illegals and start deporting the illegals that are here.
ReplyDeleteChildren DO NOT travel alone to the border. Their parents are there with them, they just send the kids over the border knowing that we might let them stay and if we do, the kids will want their parents. Wa la, border crossed.
