through the front door of my home. As I understand it, many that live within Mexico are pretty biffed about it as well. Speaking of Costco, I'll be

Instead of making so many follow up posts in this thread to to caravan, you should instead take the time to understand the vague Mexico offer put in
the press, and the United States legal obligations under international law in regards to asylum cases.
On this forum there are many members who jump up and down and say always say follow the law and get the FMM even if you drive over the border and stay
one day in a border town.
Where is that same attitude towards the United States and the caravan migrants? Where are the call to President Trump, to follow the laws?
Mexico's outgoing President Nieto, offered a vague temporary offer of IDs and work permits, but only if the migrants stayed in Chiapas, another
extremely poor part of Mexico, and not too many jobs and probably no job that offered a living wage.
There is nothing in US or International law that says the caravan migrants had to accept that vague Mexican temporary offer, although it's more
peaceful in Mexico. Migrants have human rights to demand a better life.
The United States, is obligated by law to allow the migrants apply for asylum. What the Trump administration, is doing is playing games, by dragging
it's feet and is processing less than 100 asylum cases a day, and in some cases, I read they are processing less than 10 cases or no claims on some
days.
The President is doing this for political gain, thinking wrongly that it's going to help him get funding for the wall, that he said two years ago, he
was going to make Mexico, pay for the wall. Trump, tried and failed to change the immigration laws by executive order, and so because he is mad, he
takes it out on the poor migrant asylum seekers.
Anybody could have predicted the caravan migrants, would try to crash the border, when the United States, is not living up it's obligations under
International law, to allow the migrants to apply for asylum.
Drzura, nobody is breaking into your home, you don't own the United States, nor are the immigration laws the same as home owners rights.
