Half a Million Nicaraguan Migrants Need Political Asylum in the US
Experts warn: The vast majority have not yet applied for asylum, amid an electoral debate that aims to impose more immigration restrictions.
 
CARLOS F. CHAMORRO

Since the outbreak of the socio-political crisis and massive repression in Nicaragua in 2018, more than half a million Nicaraguan migrants have entered the United States. The vast majority arrived by land at the U.S.-Mexico border, and approximately 60,000 entered by air through the humanitarian parole that allows them to stay in the country for two years.

Most of the migrants are facing an uncertain situation presently because they have not applied for political asylum and have an irregular legal status, amid a highly polarized electoral debate in which Donald Trump and President Joe Biden are competing to impose new restrictive measures on migration.


In an interview in Esta Semana, attorney Astrid Montealegre, an expert on migration issues and advisor to the Nicaraguan American Human Rights Alliance (NAHRA), and researcher Manuel Orozco, an expert on migration and remittances at the Inter-American Dialogue, warned about the seriousness of this situation and recommended that all people with an irregular legal status study their cases of political persecution or religious persecution, and file their asylum applications as soon as possible, a process that is slow and extremely complex.

Why the US?  Send them to Mejico or Cuba, They'll feel more at home.  Why not Antarctica where they have plenty of available land?  Africa would be another good choice.

NO!! We don't need anymore ILLEGALS.  We are all booked solid for at least a decade or two for taking in any more.  Consequently the U.S. needs to be dropping several million back over the border.

Sez who?

There are 192 other countries in the world, 20 of which have Spanish as their official language.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

People fleeing Communism should be welcomed, as should non-Muslims fleeing Islamic persecution, but they should declare their desire to seek refuge from persecution and be admitted in an orderly, legal manner, not sneak over the border so their presence in the US is a fait accompli.
