None of the roughly 1,200 migrants who had their asylum cases adjudicated by federal immigration officials while they waited in Mexico as part of President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy were found to be eligible for asylum, federal data finds.
Since the Trump administration has enacted the Remain in Mexico policy to ensure that migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. remain in Mexico while their claims are adjudicated, none of the migrants so far have been found eligible for asylum, according to federal data.
As of June, about 1,155 migrants waiting in Mexico had their asylum claims processed and finalized by U.S. federal immigration courts. In the end, none of the 1,155 migrants were eligible for asylum and thus must return to their native countries.
Today, there are nearly 13,000 cases still pending where migrants — mostly from Central America — are waiting in Mexico until their asylum claims are adjudicated. Of those migrants still waiting, only about one percent have legal representation.
Before the U.S. began mandating that most migrants seeking asylum remain in Mexico while their claims were processed, about 88 percent of border crossers and illegal aliens were able to avoid immediate deportation by claiming “credible fear” at the southern border.

You can’t just show up and expect to be let in.
Spread the word.
Would have been a lot easier and cheaper to apply and be rejected at the US Consulate in your own shi, err, country. I really hope this policy holds.
Good News: Many illegals are being declared ineligible and kept out of the USA.
Less than Good News: That very first sentence was a run-on, and not as clear as it should have been upon first reading. I would have diagrammed it far differently. But then, who’s asking me?
1.2K? At 400K a month that’s about 2.5 hours of immigrant flow.
been saying this for years - no border jumper is eligible for asylum
you want a valid asylum claim in the US, you need to arrive on a boat or plane that originated in the country you are fleeing
Every asylum lawyer knows this! So all of them rushing the border to help border jumpers, they know that they are not at all supported by law - their actions should be evaluated in this context.
Wow 0 out of 1155 ok, how about the 100,000 coming over the border every month.
As if anyone will bother to enforce that.
No one bothered to enforce NBC when obamy “won”.
Please, oh please tell me that these are Bambi appointed judges.
Great, that means these 1200 third world invaders have not been allowed to be distributed around the country adding to the problem. Great news.
We need to keep the rest in Mexico and hold faster hearings on the illegals here already. Reject all dishonest or invalid asylum claims, and deport them all.
ICE has indicated that only those here for less than two years have anything to worry about.
Flimsey Grahamnesty is working on amnesty for the rest of them.
It’s about the same as Baltimore or Chicago residents trying to claim asylum in Canada because the place they live has a high crime rate
If a bank robber manages to hide for two years, does that criminal get to keep the money too? Globalists disgust me. Deport ALL illegals. No exceptions.
Source of you 400K claim please
Thanks
Trump tried this but a leftist judge somewhere ruled it out. It is probably moving slowly towards the Supreme Court. Border jumpers of today are being treated as if they are dissidents who somehow managed to escape during the days of the Soviet Union.
Only war down there is in Venezuela where the federal government is trying to kill and starve people.
Sorry, that was an annual figure.
“A: The best way to measure illegal border crossings is by the number of people arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol after entering. In 2000, border agents arrested more than 1.6 million people along the U.S.-Mexico border. Agents arrested 303,916 in fiscal 2017, the lowest number since 1971. In fiscal 2018, which ended in September, the number rose to nearly 400,000”
However; I *believe* that through Sept ‘18 these massive waves had not quite started, or only 1 or 2 had happened. That 400K could be 600K now, easily.
