WASHINGTON (AP) Reversing decades of US policy, the Trump administration said Monday it will end all asylum protections for most migrants who arrive at the US-Mexico border the president's most forceful attempt yet to block asylum claims and slash the number of people seeking refuge in America.

The new rule, expected to go into effect Tuesday, would cover countless would-be refugees, many of them fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. It is certain to face legal challenges.

According to the plan published in the Federal Register, migrants who pass through another country in this case, Mexico on their way to the US will be ineligible for asylum. The rule also applies to children who have crossed the border alone.

The vast majority of people affected by the rule are from Central America. But sometimes migrants from Africa, Cuba or Haiti and other countries try to come through the US-Mexico border, as well.

I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy.

The asylum seeking process does need to be reworked, it's pretty broken as is. However, completely shutting it down is an awful idea.

I don't think we needed someone to demonstrate that for us.

Sort of like how we don't need someone to drown a baby in a barrel at a county fair - it's kind of unanimously understood that that is something that should never happen.

Yes, but the people trying to get in at the southern border are economic migrants not asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are usually from Africa or the Middle East and come via UN channels.

The crime in central America South of Mexico all the way down to Venezuela is so bad it's called War-like conditions by the UN.

They are not migrating because they're poor they're migrating because they're worried they could have their entire family raped and murdered because some other people want to eat their dog.

The new rule, published in the Federal Register, would require most migrants entering through Americas southern border to first seek asylum in one of the countries they traversed whether in Mexico, in Central America, or elsewhere on their journey. In most cases, only if that application is denied would they then be able to seek asylum in the United States.'


Most of Europe already follows this rule:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Regulation
Usually, the responsible Member State will be the state through which the asylum seeker first entered the EU.


And Canada holds the US to the exact same rule:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_Safe_Third_Country_Agreement
Under the agreement persons seeking refugee status must make their claim in the first country they arrive in, either the United States or Canada, unless they qualify for an exception. For example, refugee claimants who are citizens of a country other than the United States that arrive from the United States at the CanadaUnited States land border can only pursue their refugee claims in Canada if they meet an exception under the Safe Third Country Agreement.

They can fix that, it's not like Africa and the Middle East where in many places it's so bad, that it's ridiculously difficult to even try to fix.

First EUROPEAN country. United States OR Canada. These laws function completely differently, with different aims. They are between states that have agreed to help, and share the load. What this law does is just stop them from seeking asylum. Now, they'll only be able to take refuge in countries that are just as bad and have the same problems that they're fleeing from. Not the same, at all.

But they're not. No South American can apply for asylum in Canada by walking through the USA. They would need to fly there somehow or boat around the entire country.

Fact is, you're assuming no south or central American country is a stable functioning nation.

They can fix that, it's not like Africa and the Middle East where in many places it's so bad, that it's ridiculously difficult to even try to fix.

Most of Africa is probably better off than Central / South America.

The most likely thing to kill you in Africa is a mosquito. Mexico's safety varies greatly depending on whether or not you're in a tourist resort or cartel territory. Stuff gets worse the further south you go and hit peak shittiness around Venezuela and parts of Chile. Brazil is okay as long as you're not gay, trans, don't have any money, and support the fascists in power there.

Right, it's in South America. So are Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Guyana Paraguay Peru Suriname and Uruguay.

Mexicans, whom ARE in central America, can still apply for asylum at the US under these changes. They could also go south if they felt unsafe at home.

The entirety of the southern hemisphere below the USA isn't a warzone. You'd have to be an actual bigot to think that.
