Trump wants to deny asylum to immigrants if they come to the United States through a third country

In the case of the adoption of a new proposal by the administration of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, the asylum will be denied to those who came to the United States not from their country of origin, but in transit through another state, without seeking protection from its authorities.

The proposal, included in the draft Department of Homeland Security and Justice, will be another attempt by the Trump administration to dissuade asylum-seekers from attempting to enter the United States, writes Buzz Feed. Previous actions, such as a ban on asylum for crossing the border between ports of entry, were blocked by the courts. If the innovation is accepted, it is most likely that the court will consider it.

Insiders say the new draft says immigrants arriving in the US are transiting through more than just one country - sometimes multiple countries where they could seek protection but don't. Therefore, persons seeking asylum in the United States will not receive it if they entered or attempted to enter the United States after passing through any other country other than their country of origin without seeking asylum or legal protection there.

Officials of the Department of Homeland Security expressed concern about the new policy, expressing doubts about whether it would affect people who traveled through airports in other countries, and also noted that not all countries offer complete shelter and protection.

“The administration's push for a hard border policy encourages asylum seekers to get to the U.S. border as quickly as possible. There's no doubt that this is what the new plan will do, said Sarah Pearce, an analyst at the Migration Policy Institute. “The administration has already tried to change the qualifications for those applying for asylum. Not only was the sanctuary ban found to be “irreconcilably in conflict” with federal law at the district court level, but the Supreme Court agreed.”

In his speeches, Trump made it clear that he supports an approach that restricts the entry of asylum seekers and is suspicious of the system as a whole.

“This is a scam. It's a scam,” Trump said of the applicants when he spoke in California during an April visit to the border wall. “I know about deceptions, our system is full of them.”

During the same visit, CNN reported that Trump told Kevin McAlinan, the current head of the national security department, that he would have mercy on him if Makalinana was sent to prison for the ban on asylum seekers.

The Department of Homeland Security experienced a period of turmoil. Trump was pushing the agency to consider changes to the asylum policy: for example, a plan to charge for applications. As the number of families detained at the border reaches record highs, Trump lost his temper. In recent weeks, several high-ranking officials, including former leaders of the Immigration and Customs Police (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), were forced to resign.

Pierce said that the proposal being considered by the administration would not solve the problem of shelters.

“Instead of doing the hard work of fixing our outdated asylum system, this administration is further incentivizing migrants to cross the southern border. They should know by now that such harsh and legally questionable actions will do nothing but fuel chaos,” she said.

Former USCIS General Counsel Ur Jaddou called the proposal cruel.

“Central Americans are fleeing a burning house. To slam the door behind them and pretend that there is no burning house and people running means doing nothing to solve the problem.”

Earlier this year, the Trump administration implemented a policy that forces immigrants from Central America to remain in Mexico while their asylum cases go through court. As of the last week of May, about 6000 immigrants have been involved in this program.

After a judge from the federal court in San Francisco blocked this proposal in April, a panel of three judges from the 9 US District Appeals Court allowed these rules to be applied locally as the case progressed, which the administration regarded as a big victory.
