Good thing none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

I'd almost be for the U.N. intervening at the U.S./Mexico border, given a couple guarantees.
ReplyDeleteFirst, that they physically stay on the Mexico side of the border.
Second, that they enforce ALL of the U.N.'s rules for refugees seeking asylum, INCLUDING the one that says those refugees must be facing some kind of government persecution, AND the one that says they must apply for asylum at the first port of entry in the first safe country they get to. For those from Honduras or El Salvador, that would be Mexico's southern border.
That the "caravan" bypassed Mexico's POEs and came directly to the U.S. makes them ineligible for asylum under the U.N.'s rules; at this point, it's no longer asylum, it's plain-old immigration, and the U.S. has the right to refuse.
But I wouldn't expect the U.N. to follow its own rules when it comes to the "fundamental transformation" of the U.S., any more than it follows its own rules regarding Hamas attacks on Israel.
