US Rejects Asylum Application of Refugees Illegally Entering Through Mexico
2023-05-07
[KhaamaPress] The US Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, said on Friday that the United States will not accept the asylum application of those migrants colonists who are illegally entering the country through the Mexico border effective from May 11, 2023.

In the recent past, many Afghan refugees have taken this route and entered the United States and Canada, and have applied for asylum certificates.

As per the new rule, refugees from any country they pass through on their way to the US should apply for asylum there. If they enter the United States, they will not qualify for asylum and will be dealt with accordingly.

This initiative was part of President Biden’s election campaign, which promised to assist prevent the influx of illegal migration to the United States.

the US and Mexican officials have agreed on new immigration policies meant to deter illegal border crossings while also opening up other pathways ahead of an expected increase in migrants colonists following the end of pandemic restrictions.

Mexico plays a critical role in helping the US to clamp down its southern border and prevent the entry of illegal migrants colonists to the United States.

It is reported that migrants colonists as far away as Haiti and Brazil are making the trek on foot up through Mexico, and are not easily returned back to their home countries.

#3  Even longer from India, at a cost of $70,000+, but people are willing to spend the time to do it. Some of them are going south from Canada, though.
