Mexico rejects idea to keep Central American asylum seekers
Washington Examiner ^ | 06/03/19

Posted on 06/03/2019 2:05:34 PM PDT by Liberty7732

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Monday that his country would reject a proposed solution to the immigration and tariff stand-off with the U.S. that would involve it keeping Central American asylum seekers.

The proposal, which has not been formally made by the U.S., would involve Mexico being designated a "safe third country" for the immigrants, meaning that refugees passing through Mexico to the U.S. would first have to claim asylum in Mexico. The U.S. has a similar agreement with Canada.

"An agreement about a safe third country would not be acceptable for Mexico,” Ebrard told reporters shortly before a meeting in Washington, D.C., with U.S. officials. “They have not yet proposed it to me. But it would not be acceptable and they know it.”

Because they don’t want them. Then don’t piss them through to us. If we had a real Congress rather then traitors we’d make Mexico stop this.

If Mexico facilitates an invasion of the US by third world parasites, is Mexico an ally of the invaders? Is it not an act of war against the US?

Minister Ebrard, YOU let THEM into your country. YOU let THEM march the entire length of your country. YOU let THEM camp in border towns until they could either sneak or plead their way into the U.S.

YOU failed to stop them in spite of having literally dozens of opportunities to do so. YOU KEEP THEM, OR SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES.

How about we send the old pieces of OUR cr@ppy fence down Mexico Way for their Southern Border, while we build our wall bigger, taller, wider and stronger?

It would be a Good Faith gesture and the EnviroWeenies would LOVE that we’re Recycling!

MAGA! :)

“Mexico rejects idea to keep Central American asylum seekers”

KcuF all that.

Stop welcoming them into your country with open arm.

Stop transiting them.

Stop providing logistics for their journey.

Just stop

“They have not yet proposed it to me. But it would not be acceptable and they know it.”

************

Its not up to us to propose anything. This is Mexico’s problem to solve. Don’t bring problems to us; bring solutions.

We shouldn’t care how they fix it; just stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into our country.

Then we will decide if what has been done is enough. In the meantime, ever increasing tariffs will be imposed until the invasion is curtailed.

Any sane country would not accept a flood of 3rd world dregs.

And then there's us...

“Meant don’t pass them through. But same difference.”

Actually thought it was better the other way.

While border states are stuck with millions of illegal Mexicans for the past 40 years, ripping the US taxpayers off to the tune of billions of dollars in social programs, while they have wired tens of billions back to Mexico. Texas is sick of this lousy treatment by the corrupt leadership in Mexico.

Good, then Close the Border to All traffic and assess a 40% TAX on remittances.

Our congress is a sham. A den of corrupt, self-serving politicians that is a total disgrace.

Then they can keep them south of their border.

Until the flow of illegal aliens stops, tariff the living shiite out of Mexico.

Create a DMZ 50 miles on the mexican side of the border, mine the hell out of it, and kill anything that tries to cross it.
