Trump plan would force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico

Trump plan would force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico as cases are processed, a major break with current policy

Central Americans who arrive at U.S. border crossings seeking asylum in the United States will have to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed under sweeping new measures the Trump administration is preparing to implement, according to internal planning documents and three Department of Homeland Security officials familiar with the initiative.

According to DHS memos obtained by The Washington Post on Wednesday, Central American asylum seekers who cannot establish a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Mexico will not be allowed to enter the United States and would be turned around at the border.

The plan, called “Remain in Mexico,” amounts to a major break with current screening procedures, which generally allow those who establish a fear of return to their home countries to avoid immediate deportation and remain in the United States until they can get a hearing with an immigration judge. Trump despises this system, which he calls “catch and release,” and has vowed to end it.  .  .

This "new" policy seems to be in response to some judge's decision that requiring potential asylum-seekers to apply only at "points of entry" was "unconstitutional".

Well, heck, we'll just do an end-run around the decision:
No applications other than from Mexican soil.

And if some -other- judge tries to rule against this, come up with something else!
