APPEALS COURT RULES TRUMP CAN SEND ASYLUM SEEKERS TO MEXICO

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump has the authority to send asylum seekers to Mexico as they wait for the United States to adjudicate their claims, handing the president a big win on immigration policy.

The “Remain in Mexico” policy seeks to curb catch-and-release by denying fraudulent asylum seekers the incentive of being released into the interior of the U.S. while their cases proceed in immigration courts.

The circuit court overruled an earlier decision by San Francisco Judge Richard Seeborg, who blocked Trump’s policy on the grounds that the administration was making the asylum process too difficult and could be putting migrants at further risk by demanding they stay in Mexico.

So they go back to Mexico and re-enter the US at a later date. Maybe they should go back to their country of origin if it isn't Mexico.

Mexico is going to have a lot of long-term visitors, all of them needing a place to stay, food to eat and all the other stuff people need. There's a peso or two to be made here.

A peso or two wouldn't be useful as a fishing weight.

@4:11 the peso's will be American dollars the government gives them to survive in Mexico or the cartels will put them to work. Either way America is losing this battle

Nope, only Mexico. I think that's how it should be anyway.
