Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the leading Democrats on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,
released the following statement on the Trump administration’s plan to force asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their immigration cases are pending:
“The Trump administration is on a mission to take apart the asylum system, which was developed after the horrors of World War II to ensure persecuted people have an opportunity to petition our government for safety.
The basic responsibility owed to those seeking asylum under U.S. and international law is that people fleeing for their lives cannot be turned away without a chance to make their case.
“This system was created to balance both border security and humanitarian protection, but the Trump plan creates more chaos at the border, harming refugees instead of protecting them.
Asylum seekers are easy prey for criminals and gangs in Mexico, but the Trump plan forces people to remain in harm’s way, even if there is a significant possibility they will be persecuted or tortured in Mexico.

“The Trump administration’s nativist policies betray our laws and our values. We strongly oppose these changes and fully expect they will be challenged in court.”

“If you’re earnestly for the people, if you want everyday citizens to have the power that only comes through their ability to hold officials accountable at the ballot box, you’d have to send this bill back to the drafting table—
because the bill before us today throws a strong left hook at the Constitution and expects voters to take it on the chin.”

The Regime is going to start throwing asylum seekers out of the country tomorrow.

The United States will return the first group of migrants seeking U.S. asylum to the Mexican border city of Tijuana on Friday
reut.rs/2R8Zgr3
Asylum seekers will be abandoned in a dangerous area with no support or help.

"It is unclear how Mexico plans to house what could be thousands of asylum seekers for the months - or years - it takes U.S. immigration cases to be heard"
There is no reason to send asylum seekers to Mexico. This is a disgusting decision that both Mexico and the US should be ashamed of. Both governments are evil

"The spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not specify the nationalities of those to be returned to Mexico"
