New Rule allows U.S. to send ppl back to Mexico-even if not from that country!! Mexico says NO...

[riversedge]

I keep finding out about these new rules--a little bit here=a little there.
Wondering if I missed the all of the New Immigration rules. Anyone have them?


I can see why Mexico would say no to this idea!!

I can imagine these folks are going to rot in some detention center here on this side of the border. May the gods and goddesses help them --and us!

MEXICO CITY — Mexico will vigorously fight U.S. mass deportations of undocumented immigrants back to Mexico and refuse to accept any non-Mexicans expelled across the border, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray vowed Wednesday.

A day after the Trump administration unveiled tough new guidelines for enforcing immigration laws, Videgaray said the treatment of Mexican migrants in the United States would top his country's agenda when President Enrique Peña Nieto meets Thursday with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

“I want to make clear, in the most emphatic way, that the government of Mexico and the Mexican people do not have to accept measures that, in a unilateral way, one government wants to impose on another,” Videgary said.

He added that Mexico would go to the United Nations to defend the rights of its migrants. “We are not going to accept it because we don’t have to accept it and because it is not in the interests of Mexico,” he said.

The Department of Homeland Security said its new directives focus on criminals and those who pose a threat to the U.S., but the provisions expand the authority of federal agents to deport the vast majority of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

Under the new rules, all federal immigration officers can now conduct an "expedited removal" anywhere in the U.S. against people who arrived in the U.S. in the previous two years.

One critical provision, which requires Mexico's cooperation, allows federal agents to send people back to Mexico, even if they're not from that country. Many recent arrivals to the U.S. came from Central America, traveling through Mexico...........................

1. This is excellent push back from Mexico

"We are not going to accept it because we don't have to accept it"

2. I do not understand at all--WHY Trump would think he could send folks to Mexico if they are

not from Mexico.

to find out he's not the dictator of the entire planet.

6. He is extending his narcissistic personality disorder to foreign policy.

He is incapable of having any empathy for other people or countries. It is for the same reason that he keeps claiming that we should have taken Iraq's oil.

5. Anyone know the rules on this?

I know if you come by air and are denied entry they return you to the flight's country of origin (not necessarily your home country), but I don't know how that works in this case.
