Comment from the ABQJournal: In the Journal’s “8 hours on the border” series published earlier this month, the Border Patrol recounted how the influx of families has stretched their resources. The series also reported how Ciudad Juárez is struggling to care for the thousands of migrants waiting there to enter the U.S. through a port of entry.

It's about time! The immediate solution, of course, is for Mexico to stop immigrants at their southern border. The long-term solution is obvious - complete the wall in those areas not having one: East of El Paso in Texas and west of El Paso in New Mexico. And especially that 2-plus mile section on the south side of Mt. Cristo Rey in El Paso east from Anapra to the Rio Grande River. This is how the recent influx is arriving to surrender to the Border Patrol.

The law on asylum provides that, once a country which is considered “safe” has offered asylum, other countries do not need to take them in or keep them. Mexico is considered a developed, safe country, and has offered asylum, so this move is legal.

But i’m sure some judge will decide it is not, because “Orange Man Bad”.

But will another Leftist judge shoot this down?

IT’S ABOUT TIME !!!! Had an
American done this to Mexico, they’d be put in one of their jails, and not treated well.

[proust]

they can just send them back? huh?

They have done this in at least a couple of other locations (one of which is San Diego).

I think that so far, it has just been a kind of test program, with only about 200-300 in total being sent to wait in Mexico.

It would definitely cause an immediate reaction from Mexico, if we just started dumping on them, what they are dumping on us.

mexico should have (and likely will) thought about that BEFORE letting them cross Mexico.

Some Obamanation judge issuing an injunction in 3.....2.....1....

Just read the article.

“By the end of the week, this will change. Most asylum-seekers will be sent back to Mexico as soon as they are processed.”

That is a big deal.

The article goes on to say “The American Civil Liberties Union is challenging the policy in court and a hearing is scheduled for today.”

No doubt the ACLU has some members who are judges, that they can run to for an injunction. Their arguments seem to be that Mexico is an unsafe Sh*thole country to make people wait in, and that it would be an imposition for Mexico to have to bear the costs of immigrants.

This has been brewing for a few months, while the program was being piloted, so both sides should have their legal arguments ready.

Send them ALL back across the border!

[Daniel Ramsey]

There really is a strong need to change these immigration hordes mindset long before they start stacking up like cordwood along the border.

“It’s a crisis because we are not ready as a city,” Jorge Muñoz, migrant relief coordinator at a makeshift shelter in Ciudad Juárez, said of the change. The shelter lies just across the border from El Paso.”

Tough. You shouldn’t be sending them here. We are not ready either, we will never be ready we don’t want them.

[veracious]

Thank you God! Thank you! Thank you!

Finally! I wondered what happen to Trump trying to make this change.

[eartick]

Wonderful news. They need to seek asylum in their home countries as IT should be done. Adios you third world trash.

Bury Mexico with them. Maybe they’ll do something then when the residents get tired of their towns being destroyed.
