    This is fundamentally in-American. Asylum seekers must ALWAYS be granted the right to see safety.https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1055645347119357952 …

    Trump is considering taking executive action to bar migrants, including asylum seekers, from entering the country at the southern border, people familiar with the plan tell NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/us/politics/trump-army-border-mexico.html …

        ⚠️ EMERGENCY ALERT ⚠️ The gov't announced a plan to mass release families from detention centers. For months they’ve kept families for longer than the 20 days they are legally allowed, but now, they are suddenly mass releasing THOUSANDS with NO plans to ensure their safety.

        He backed out of the Paris Accords. He backed out of the Iran Nuclear deal. He backed out of NAFTA. He backed out of the UN Human Rights Counsel. He’s working on pulling out of the INF Treaty. Why should it surprise us that he’s working on the Geneva Conventions too?

        By international law. To not do so risks being charged with human rights abuses.

        Republicans always talk about objecting to illegal immigrants because they are unfair to immigrants who “follow the rules.” The caravan travelers aren’t trying to sneak into US, they are pursuing amnesty aka “following the rules”

        According to the UN, they should be seeking asylum at the first country. The USA is not the first country for those in the caravan.

        It’s also unlawful. But closing the border will never happen. This is how Trump ignites the inherent racism of his voters. It’s his Get Out the Vote Drive.

        Nonsense. If this was just about fleeing a bad situation in Honduras, they could have asked for asylum in El Salvador, Guatemala, or Mexico. This is a political act and nothing more.
