Catch and release, used by George W Bush and Barack Obama was a total disaster. It takes longer to decide an asylum case than you are allowed to detain the illegals applying for asylum.
But, it was a total disaster, when the Bush and Obama administrations would release the illegals while they awaited their hearing because they would simply hide and not go to court and remain in the country.
Trump wanted to end that policy, so he wheeled and dealed with Mexico and got them to agree to let caravan members wait in Mexico until their court date. If they win their case, they are welcomed into the country and if not, they are deported to their home country. Everyone gets to apply for asylum, but those who don’t qualify aren’t allowed in where they can then hide from authorities.
While Democrats were sleeping and ruining Christmas for everyone else President Trump announced new changes to United States immigration procedures.
This is a much larger shift in policy than was originally reported by The Gateway Pundit back in November
Without much media fanfare President Trump ended George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s insane catch-and-release policies.
From now on illegal aliens caught entering the United States will be sent to wait in Mexico while their applications are processed. Once their “notice to appear” is available they will allowed in to attend their court hearing. Aliens without valid claims will be deported to their home countries.
Process
- Aliens trying to enter the U.S. to claim asylum will no longer be released into our country, where they often disappear before a court can determine their claim’s merits.
- Instead, those aliens will be processed by DHS and given a “Notice to Appear” for their immigration court hearing.
- While they wait in Mexico, the Mexican government has made its own determination to provide such individuals humanitarian visas, work authorization, and other protections. Aliens will have access to immigration attorneys and to the U.S. for their court hearings.
- Aliens whose claims are upheld by U.S. judges will be allowed in. Those without valid claims will be deported to their home countries.
