OK, I really didn't read much about it. I heard "Trump won again", I said "that's good" and drove on.
When 2 of the 4 lunatics sided with him, you know it was a bad ruling. I'm going to guess you aren't thrilled with the result, but please watch this for some perspective.
no, I'm not against the temporary ruling... but the Trump team better get the third country agreement done quickly with Mexico, and the Triangle countries, or the admin may lose their case working through the courts now... they could get shot down because it is presently not legal,without this third country agreement.
As far as I understand the law, you can't walk through another country and say you need asylum here from the country you left. You're supposed to get asylum in the neighbor country of the one you fled.
Further, I think you know this "asylum" excuse is complete bullshit. People need asylum from North Korea, that's why they have fences to keep people in. Governments south of our border are delighted to get rid of these people for a reason, why would we want to take them?
.
once the admin gets a SIGNED, Safe Third country Agreement, then it becomes legal, right now it is not.... the administration is working on it...
The Refugee Act says that any noncitizen in the US can apply for asylum “whether or not at a designated port of arrival” and “irrespective of [their immigration] status.”
The only exceptions are for those who were “firmly resettled” in another country before they arrived in the US or if they passed through another country with which the US had a “Safe Third Country” agreement.
A Safe Third Country agreement is a bilateral treaty under which one country can reject and return an asylum seeker to another safe country.
The US currently only has a Safe Third Country Agreement with Canada.
The Trump administration is working on negotiating such agreements with the Northern Triangle countries, as well as Mexico and Panama
no Pete, I do not think most of these people coming here are bad people.... they simply want a better, safer life for themselves and their kids, than their own f-d up gvt and country can provide....
that does not mean I want to let everyone of them in....
I simply can empathize and put myself in to their shoes and know, deep in my gut, I too would want a better chance in life for my kids and would likely make the thousand mile trip with my family, if I were in their shoes.... that's a complement, to us... the USA....
Americans really do not appreciate how great our country, really is.... compared to near elsewhere, imho.....
