The majority of those showing up at the border/crossing illegally and demanding asylum are actually eligible. But, the problem is, when they are already here, it is extremely difficult to send them packing. Open Borders advocates freaking out and continuing to attempt to keep them here along with the illegals/migrants just disappearing are two big problems. So…
Zero of 1.2K Migrants Eligible for U.S. Asylum Since ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy
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.
And, again, therein lies the problem: those who are here are almost impossible to send packing when they have no case.
Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy has also contributed to a significant drop in the number of border crossers and illegal aliens being released into the interior of the country. As of mid-July, the Trump administration has cut the catch and release program about 85 percent compared to release levels from months prior.
The thing is, it seems as if so many, if not most, of these “asylum” seekers aren’t coming here because they love the U.S.: they’re coming to take advantage of the U.S., to get that sweet free money, healthcare, housing, education, etc. Regardless, most aren’t eligible for asylum. And the remain policy limits the invasion.
