President Donald Trump has just called to end the U.S. asylum program for refugees, such as this traveling thousands of miles from the murder capital of the world, parts of Central America, to ask America for protection.
The chances of being murdered in parts of Central America is eight times greater than in the U.S. President Trump has separated about 2500 children from their parents. The federal government has about 12,000 children in custody without their parents.
On Monday, Trump called for throwing out U.S. civil rights of due process, which every person on American soil regardless of citizenship has the legal right to exercise.
“Hiring manythousands [sic] of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go – will always be disfunctional. People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. Children brought back to their country,” Trump said in a statement riddled with spelling errors.
“If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in it’s tracks – and at very little, by comparison, cost. This is the only real answer – and we must continue to BUILD THE WALL!” Trump added.
Contrary to conservative activists and Trump’s own suggestion, in order to apply for asylum a person must be on U.S. soil. They cannot apply for asylum at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
