Good day all. One of the scams illegal aliens use once they get into the United States is to claim asylum. Once they do that, a number of things happen, such as being given a hearing date and then set free. Very few ever bother to show up for those hearings.
One of the things President Trump has been doing is cleaning up the asylum mess created by past administrations. The usual suspects, of course, promptly run off to their pet Obama judge to prevent anything being done by this administration regarding stopping the invasion of the United States. After the usual trip to the Supreme Court, President Trump wins and proceeds with his original task.
In this case, it’s sending thousands of illegal aliens who have claimed asylum back to Mexico to wait for their hearings. This was not what they had in mind. Their original plan was to get jobs or welfare and disappear. Showing up for the hearings, (Where the odds were they would be deported), was never on their radar. Having to wait in Mexico, potentially for months or even years just to be denied basically, sucked, so many have given up and returned to the third world hell hole, (Other then Kalifornistan), they came form. Here are the details from Fox News:
Thousands of migrants returned to Mexico under the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy have given up their asylum claims, with many of them returning home, according to statistics included in a new assessment of the policy released this week by the Department of Homeland Security.
The policy, known formally as the Migrant Protection Protocols, sends migrants seeking asylum at the southern border back to Mexico for the duration of immigration proceedings. It is a cornerstone of the administration’s efforts to end “catch and release,” by which migrants are released into the U.S. while their cases are heard. Hearings have been held in border towns such as Laredo, Texas, where temporary courtrooms have been set up by the border and migrants are put in front of a judge via video conference.
Video conference? So they aren’t allowed into the United States for the hearing? Works for me!
So far, the administration has returned more than 55,000 migrants to Mexico. The assessment describes the policy as an “indispensable tool in addressing the ongoing crisis at the southern border and restoring integrity to the immigration system.” It says that it has completed almost 13,000 cases as of Oct. 21.
And how many of those claims were approved I wonder? I suspect it’s going to be a very, very low number indeed.
The new assessment, significantly, cites estimates from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that approximately 20,000 migrants are currently being sheltered in Mexico near the U.S. border as they still seek entry to the U.S. The assessment says that number, though, suggests “a significant proportion of the 55,000+ MPP returnees have chosen to abandon their claims.”
The fact that so many chose to abandon their claims for asylum should speak volumes. When I think of someone asking for asylum, I think that they are in real danger of being killed, usually by their own government. I would guestimate that 98% of those currently claiming asylum are doing so for money, and no other reason.
The report notes that the work of the International Organization of Migration, supported in part by the U.S. government, is helping migrants return home for free if they choose to do so. It says that as of October, almost 900 migrants have participated in that program.
The statistics put some meat on the bones of what officials have been saying for months, specifically that many of those in MPP — particularly those who do not have a legitimate asylum claim — realize that they will not be released into the interior and then just return home. Those returning migrants may then dissuade others from making the journey, reducing one of the “pull factors” bringing people north illegally.
The MPP policy has been one of the most effective parts of the administration’s crackdown on asylum seekers and illegal immigration, but also one of the most controversial. Critics claim that migrants are being sent into camps with squalid conditions, and are also at risk of violence from cartels.
“Not only does this policy do nothing to protect either migrants or U.S. interests, but we have grave concerns about its legality, recent efforts to expand it, and the dangerous conditions it forces asylum seekers to endure while waiting for their cases to be heard,” said a letter from two dozen Senate Democrats sent in August to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan.
And I don’t care. Most of these “Asylum seekers” are frauds. They can’t be bothered to go to the local American consulate and apply for an immigration visa. I have no sympathy or use for them at all. None.
But administration officials have said that it allows for cases to be processed expeditiously, with initial hearings normally within a few months.
“MPP returnees with meritorious claims can be granted relief or protection within months, rather than remaining in limbo for years while awaiting immigration court proceedings in the United States,” the assessment says.
And those who have a legitimate claim, such as Christians from Syria, Iraq, and other Muslim countries should probably get asylum. They will be and have been killed by Muslims. Of course, we now see how the Progressives have no problem denying those claims and letting the Christians be slaughtered.
MPP was initially set up in January, but was expanded over the summer amid a new agreement with the Mexican government established in June. The U.S. has been seeking to continue to expand the policy since then.
And I don’t have a problem with this. Legitimate asylum seekers should be allowed in. I can think of several right off the top of my head. One was admitted, although it took an act of congress, and the other was left to rot by Obama in a Pakistani prison. (A cook who protected several Americans in Iran during the hostage crises and the man who helped us get bin Laden. The former was granted asylum and the other abandoned by Obama)
“We are confident in the program’s integrity and ability to adjudicate asylum claims quickly and with all due process, McAleenan said in a statement. “We have already seen individuals granted asylum, and many more fraudulent or non-meritorious cases closed. MPP has been – and remains – an essential part of these efforts.”
This appears to be a good program that is actually doing what it is supposed to be doing. I can see all the usual Progressive Liberal suspects screeching like harpies over this. Instead of “Catch and release” it’s “You aren’t coming in until a judge says ok, capisce?” I wonder if this can be expanded to other areas where real people in real jeopardy can get a speedy hearing? Well, I’ve been saying for a long time that the entire immigration system needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. This is just a bit of remodeling.
