Can I still seek asylum if I passed through another country before entering the United States?
July 2, 2020
On June 30, 2020, a federal court struck down the Trump administration’s third country transit bar. The original bar said that people who have passed through a country other than their country of origin before entering the United States must request asylum in one of those countries – and if they do not, they will not be eligible for asylum in the United States. The bar affected people who entered the United States on or after July 16, 2019.
But recently, a court decided that the third country transit bar is invalid. For now, this means that immigrants have the right to seek asylum even if they pass through countries other than their country of origin before entering the United States. For more information about the court’s decision, see this article.
This decision is a victory for asylum seekers. The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) supports the decision and stands with asylum seekers fighting for their right to live in safety in the United States. THE REASON THAT THE COURT WILL ALWAYS DECIDE AGAINST THIS HATE GROUP CRAP IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TONS OF LAWS < BOTH INTERNATIONAL AN DOMESTIC AND TWO TREATIES THAT PROTECT ASYLUM SEEKERS THAT IS SIGNED BY EVERY COUNTRY IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD> YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT BY WRITING LAWS UNLESS YOU TAKE DOWN EXISTING LAWS AND TREATIES AND THAT WON'T , THE COURT WILL ALWAYS PROTECT THESE LAWS AND THE PUBLIC WILL NOT PUSH FOR A CHANGE IN THESE LAWS> WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WATCH THE MAGA MAGGOTS HOLD THEIR BREATH AND STOMP THEIR FEET OVER THIS> KIND OF ENTERTAINING I THINK!
