This policy, often referred to as "Remain in Mexico," requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while U.S. immigration courts review their claims. It aims to manage the flow of asylum cases and reduce pressure on U.S. facilities. Proponents argue that it prevents overcrowding in U.S. detention centers, deters frivolous claims, and ensures an orderly asylum process. Opponents argue that it places vulnerable individuals in dangerous conditions, denies them adequate legal support, and violates international asylum protections.

It depends on the case, but most of the time people who are fleeing from Mexico should be given a safe place to reside.

In the end a hard yes or no is hard for me to say. People only escape like that if they are scared, but I think that they should also understand that going over illegally is against the law and should be prepared to be deterred.
@B2KPKM34wks4W
they should be required to stay wherever they are from while their case is being processed not to tarnish a relationship with Mexico.

No, asylum seekers are not inherently all from Mexico, they should remain in a asylum center hosted by the united states as their cases await review to ensure their safety from their host nation while protecting the national security interests of the united states, but should not be equivalent to kids in cages.

If they have money to live on their own they can be given work permits after securing a job and a place to live.
@Mohanri-Brown4 days4D
No but they should not be allowed to leave the embassy or consult where they are applying for citizenship.
@B3356GX4 days4D
Asylum seekers should be informed ahead of time where they can be held while their claims are being processed.

No, because sometimes their situation is so dire that they would be dead by the time their case is processed.
