Caravan – Trump Firm On Asylum: "No 'Releasing' Into The US. All Will Stay In Mexico"

A federal judge may have instructed the White House earlier this week that the stricter asylum procedure President Trump wanted to install didn’t fly, that doesn’t mean POTUS is going to accept 5,000 asylum applicants on US soil anytime soon.

In order to deal with the multiple migrant caravans that have arrived in Tijuana in a reasonable manner, US President Donald Trump tweeted: “Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court. We only will allow those who come into our Country legally.”

“Other than that our very strong policy is Catch and Detain. No “Releasing” into the U.S. All will stay in Mexico. If for any reason it becomes necessary, we will CLOSE our Southern Border. There is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!”

Mr Trump’s statements came just after the Jeff Bezos owned newspaper Washington Post had reported Mexican officials agreed with the White House administration to let migrants trying to enter the US stay in Mexico while their asylum claims were heard, given the exceptional great number of migrants currently residing in Tijuana wanting to apply for asylum.

According to the newspaper, the plan is, in typical ‘Trump fashion,’ called "Remain in Mexico."

However Incoming Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero, who will take power in December after President-Elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's administration takes power, said the US had yet to even send "a specific proposal" on how to deal with the issue and those conclusions were only preliminary.
