This will make the pro-illegal alien crowd rather upset
Trump limits asylum from Mexico border, caravans head north
President Donald Trump on Friday effectively suspended the granting of asylum to migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, seeking fresh ways to block thousands of Central Americans traveling in caravans from entering the United States.
The order, which goes into effect on Saturday, means that migrants will have to present themselves at U.S. ports of entry to qualify for asylum. U.S. immigrant advocates rushed to court to try to block the policy.
“I just signed the proclamation on asylum – very important,” Trump told reporters on Friday before leaving for Paris. “People can come in but they have to come in through the points of entry.” (snip)
The order will be in effect for 90 days or until the United States reaches an agreement with Mexico allowing it to turn back asylum-seekers who had traveled through Mexico, whichever comes first.
Hilariously, the same people who had zero problem with Obama’s illegal and un-Constitutional DACA have a problem with this
Three civil rights groups sued on Friday in San Francisco federal court, seeking an injunction against Trump’s order.
The lawsuit said the order violated the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows anyone present in the United States to seek asylum regardless of where they entered the country.
“President Trump’s new asylum ban is illegal. Neither the president nor his cabinet secretaries can override the clear commands of U.S. law, but that’s exactly what they’re trying to do,” Omar Jadwat of the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement.
The lawsuit was brought by ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Center for Constitutional Rights.
In fact, federal states that anyone not crossing properly at a designated port of entry is considered an illegal alien, for which the penalty for the first offense is a small fine and deportation. These illegal aliens are taking advantage of asylum laws to claim it when they do not really qualify. They are then released until their court date and most never appear. It’s beyond time to put an end to this.
