Grassley, Lee: “As over 7,000 Hondurans travel through Mexico toward the United States border, we urge you to execute a safe third country agreement w/ the Mexican gov't that requires asylum seekers to make their claims in their first country of arrival.” judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
"A safe third country agreement with Mexico would also address national security concerns inherent in a large group of unidentified individuals moving unabated toward the United States."—@ChuckGrassley, @SenMikeLee
"We know now that this caravan, as it stands currently, is not entirely comprised of Central American asylum seekers."—@ChuckGrassley, @SenMikeLee
"As then-President Obama’s own Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, noted in an agency memorandum, titled Cross-Border Movement of Special Interest Aliens: 'we must continually evaluate our border and port of entry security posture...'"
"As you know, Special Interest Aliens or 'SIAs' are individuals who are considered national security threats to our homeland, who attempt – often successfully – to enter the interior of the United States illegally."—@ChuckGrassley, @SenMikeLee
"For over a decade now, United States sovereignty has been tested and too often disregarded. Under President Trump’s Administration, and due in large part to both of your efforts, the United States is finally in a position to secure our border and reinstitute law and order."
"We strongly urge you – on the eve of a new Mexican presidential administration – to set the tone for American sovereignty in the twenty-first century."—@ChuckGrassley, @SenMikeLee
"Entering into a safe third country agreement with Mexico would send a message to our partners across Central America that they too must share the burden of unsanctioned mass migration."—@ChuckGrassley, @SenMikeLee
