By the way, Trump administration just scored another safe-third-country agreement in Central America today
"No biggie, just the last link in a fence that might end up mooting much of the asylum debate in Congress. While most of the attention today has focused on Ukraine, the White House announced a new agreement with Honduras to take any refugees seeking asylum first rather than the US. That makes three nations with safe-third-country agreements in Central America that effectively blocks the land route for asylum seekers from south of Mexico".
The giant loophole that allowed asylum seekers to be released into the country to do whatever (take up illegal residency, break laws, etc.) while awaiting adjudication of their claims is now largely a thing of the past.
While everyone is watching the impeachment farce Trump made an end run around the democrats
and negotiated deals with Central American nations to take asylum seekers so the 90% of asylum seekers who before, just took off and never looked back when released into the country, are now going to be kept out and the leftist engineered loopholes that were the "bail jumpers" best friends, and for many victims of crime,
their worst enemy, are over.
Only Trump would take on such an enormous abuse of our immigration system and win! For this alone
he deserves another term.
