UN to Trump: You must let them in! by Ann Corcoran, 10/29/18.
Here
we go again! The United Nations is demanding that we follow international law
and let those fleeing violence in their Central American countries (not a criteria for granting asylum) into the US. What happened with
that supposed effort to tell Mexico to grant them asylum—that is what international
law says! The first safe country
asylum seekers reach is where they must ask for asylum.
Clearly
the UN is endorsing the concept of “asylum shopping” a term used around the
world where migrants are on the hunt for their best deal. But, you know all of
that.
The
caravan is an anti-Trump public relations stunt in the run-up to the midterm
elections and it seems the whole world is in on it.
UN:
Countries Must Allow People at Risk to Request Asylum
GENEVA
—The U.N. refugee agency is urging Washington to allow people fleeing
persecution and violence, including those who are traveling with the Central
American caravan, to request asylum on U.S. territory.
U.S.
President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent a caravan of thousands of
immigrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador from entering the United
States. The Pentagon has announced plans to send hundreds of troops to the
border in what is described as a support role.
The U.N. refugee agency will not weigh in on whether it is legal for a
country to close its borders to refugees and asylum seekers. But it says
international law clearly states any person whose life may be in danger has the
right to seek asylum and benefit from international protection.
What
you see happening with gobbledygook in that previous paragraph is a strategy to
make you think that every person on the move anywhere is a legitimate
refugee. We aren’t there yet, but the UN is driving public opinion in
that direction.
There
has to be a reason for “danger,” generalized danger is not a reason for
granting asylum. To be granted asylum a person must prove that he or she
would be persecuted for
race, religion, political views if returned to one’s home country.
Running from gang violence or poor job prospects does not make someone a
refugee!
UN spokesman Andrej Mahecic says there
are security risks for the migrants as they travel through Mexico. Well
gee, is that our problem? The UN can simply and easily get them back to their
homes. (If they were really that concerned.)
“Our
position globally is that the individuals who are fleeing persecution and
violence need to be given access to territory and protection including refugee
status and determination procedure. And, if the people who are fleeing persecution and violence enter Mexico,
they need to be provided access to the Mexican asylum system and those entering
the United States need to be provided access to the American asylum system,” he
said.
But
to get to the US they must pass through Mexico!
So that (above) tells me that any migrant
caravan marchers who didn’t ask for asylum in Mexico when they crossed in to
that country are admitting they aren’t asylum seekers after all. Hence when they reach
the US border they will all be illegal aliens and we can keep them out!
Mahecic
keeps trying to send his message: He said it is urgent to stabilize the
situation, to provide proper reception and to improve basic conditions for
people on the move. In regard to people seeking asylum, he says their
international protection needs must be properly assessed before any decision is
taken on their return or deportation. More here.
Remember
that Mahecic and his bosses are trying to drive public opinion world wide to
their view that migration is a
human right. If
they succeed then obviously that spells the end of the concept of national
sovereignty.
Trump’s America First! message
is completely antithetical to the UN’s objective, thus their on-going effort to
destroy him.
Don’t
you just feel like telling the UN to shut up! Of course, using only non-violent
means by cutting off their funds entirely!
