MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has won the support of Mexico’s incoming government for a plan to remake U.S. border policy by requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims move through U.S. courts, according to Mexican officials and senior members of president-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s transition team.
The agreement would break with long-standing asylum rules and place a formidable new barrier in the path of Central American migran ts attempting to reach the United States and escape poverty and violence.
Or as we and Trump keep pointing out, bringing poverty and violence with them. By the way, anyone coming to escape poverty is just a straight-up illegal immigrant.
