With Trump’s Tough Deterrents, Many Asylum Seekers on the Border are Giving Up

Pushed beyond their limits by prolonged waits in dangerous and squalid conditions in parts of Northern Mexico, thousands of caravan members who had been waiting to seek asylum in the United States appear to have given up, Mexican officials said, dealing President Trump an apparent win after a humbling week for his immigration agenda.

About 6,000 asylum seekers who had traveled en masse, many of them in defiance of Mr. Trump’s demands that they turn around, arrived in Northern Mexico in late November as part of a caravan that originated in Honduras. Since then, more than 1,000 have accepted an offer to be returned home by the Mexican government, the officials said. Another 1,000 have decided to stay in Mexico, accepting work permits that were offered to them last fall, at the height of international consternation over how to deal with the growing presence of migrant caravans.

The dems will claim this is more voter suppression by Trump.

It is true that within two years of entering the country illegally, 2/3rds of illegals are on welfare or other forms government assistance.

...she witnessed a murder carried out by a local criminal gang. Soon after, she began to receive threat...

She'd most likely end up living in an urban American city run by Democrats where she will be just as likely to experience the exact same thing same thing

What country will she flee to then?

They were ordered to turn back before the wall construction begins so the left can make the false case that there is no Emergency.

I guess Mexico will keep them then.

They are hoping to have the Caravan away from the border by the time it reaches the Supreme Court.

Exactly right. We’ll now see all these stories about how effective conventional security measures have been and how the pressure on the border has almost completely abated.

Pelosi: “The only National Emergency I see is with this President. A leader in Europe once declared a National call to action not too long ago.”

Trump points out not starting Wars and ending occupations for a reason. They’re itching to use the H word.

A huge strong wall sends a very strong message of deterrence.

DETERRENCE is compassionate. DETERRENCE is NONVIOLENT.

A border wall is compassionate and nonviolent!!!

Good. Go back to your sh**hole countries that you have already ruined. If you come here illegally you will be shunned, harassed and despised...and hopefully arrested.

So they are going to go back to their crime infested corrupt countries? I thought that was the point of leaving in the first place.

Surely they wouldn’t lie.

Of course it’s a huge deterrent. Out of a 1,000 people I’d bet the rent only 25 would even consider the risk of trying to scale an 18’-25’ wall. The lying media and the rotten Democrats don’t want to hear the truth.

“TOTAL BS!!! “

Agreed. Anyone that wants to come in is coming in. They know that even if they get caught, they’ll be released into the interior. It’s a free for all.

I really hope and pray that Latin America learns how to fix its own ills rather than cruising along in corruption and using the USA as a too-easy emergency escape valve.

Too often, the permission to do something turns into something like an expectation to do it, which is what open borders advocates seem to rarely see. If you are Honduran and we are Honduras and we can sweep you out the door to the USA and you are inconvenient — we will sweep you out the door.

Faith in God and not in idols will have to top the list of social desiderata. A government shouldn’t run a church, but it should make it as easy as possible for the church to run.
