President Trump’s new proposal is that instead of being released within the US, those claiming asylum wait in Mexico until their court date. From what I hear it’s off to a rocky start. I can’t imagine that Mexico has any duty or interest in housing non-Mexican citizens in US immigration proceedings.
And quite frankly, neither do we. They came from the Mexico side of the border, sounds like Mexico's problem. If they don't like it then lock their own borders down (but they don't, you know that right?).
If the asylum courts are backlogged for years, then they either stay in Mexico or stay in detention here for as long as it takes. How you can suggest, if you are indeed doing so, that they are somehow "entitled" to be released HERE and have free reign and run in OUR country (when they have no business being here in the first place) is beyond me. Live in a shitty tent camp in the hot/cold desert for years, I don't care. Or better yet, GO THE F**K BACK!!! To assume that because their sorry asses show up at our border with their bullshit claims of "asylum" ("My country is a shithole and it sucks living there" is NOT what asylum is about) that we are somehow responsible for them is ludicrous.
