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.

This presumed a racial profile claiming that asylum seekers are only regard to Mexico rather than the whole support status. I think in general they should wait status for approval in the current country they are in depending on the circumstances like a dictorial government like a corruption of power like Haiti, North Korea and others alike. If requiring the fleeing from one home country to find another of peace and livilyhood. It should be understood that proper measures are put in place but also audited to all accounts like a Government agency meaning to be audited as well.
@B2KL8LV5mos5MO
It depends on the case, but most of the time people who are fleeing from Mexico should be given a safe place to reside.
@B5DHVJP2mos2MO
No, establishing a deal with Mexico where we can have a cross border area that both nations can ensure the human rights of the asylum seekers as their cases are processed.
@B2KPKM35mos5MO
they should be required to stay wherever they are from while their case is being processed not to tarnish a relationship with Mexico.
@B2KC7T8 5mos5MO
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.
@B5YDH2G1 day1D
Yes, if it's safe for them to be in Mexico but if no, then they can stay in the United States (albeit, in temporary housings)
@B5XSGS54 days4D
No, but they should be allowed to stay in a shelter nearby to the border crossing while they are being processed

"Security Bridge Asylum Processing"
"Yes, but with major reforms to make the system actually work. Asylum seekers should remain in safe, well-managed facilities in Mexico while cases are processed, BUT we must completely overhaul the broken asylum system to make it fast, fair, and efficient. Current processing takes years - that's insane. Create streamlined courts with 30-60 day processing timelines, clear criteria, and immediate decisions. Legitimate asylum seekers get quick approval and proper integration support. Fraudulent claims get immediate deportation. Mexico gets U.S. funding to create proper facilities, not detention camps. This prevents the current chaos while ensuring real refugees get real help quickly."
