U.S., El Salvador Sign New Asylum Deal To Stem Tide Of Migrants

[dukkha]

he United States and El Salvador signed an agreement Friday aimed at deterring the flow of migrants seeking to enter this country by requiring them to seek asylum in that Central American nation on their way here.

In a signing ceremony in Washington, D.C., Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Alexandra Hill Tinoco, El Salvador's foreign minister, inked a "cooperative asylum agreement." But they provided no details about how the agreement will work, when it goes into effect, or who it will be impact.

"This agreement today is one significant step forward," McAleenan said in a live-streamed press conference. "El Salvador is a critical partner for the United States in promoting the security and prosperity of Central America."

"We are working every single day to try to solve this issue of people, who by various reasons, reasons of insecurity or reasons of death threats are forced to leave our country," Hill Tinoco said.

The agreement appears to put in El Salvador in the position of accepting migrants from third countries who would otherwise seek to enter the U.S. Hill Tinoco said El Salvador wants to cooperate with the U.S. and that economic investment in El Salvador is key to improving her country's ability to keep its own citizens from fleeing.

The agreement also aligns with the administration's "third country" asylum rule, although that term was not used in the press conference.

The administration signed a similar agreement with Guatemala in July, but questions remain about that country's capacity to comply. Lawmakers there have yet to ratify it.

Immigrant advocates denounced the deal.

"If this agreement goes into effect, the U.S. will be forcing the most vulnerable communities to seek safety in a country that is not equipped to protect its own citizens or provide economic opportunity," said Oscar Chacon, executive director of Alianza Americas, a network of immigrant-led organizations.

A 2018 State Department report on human rights in El Salvador cites allegations of unlawful killings and torture by security forces, as well as forced disappearances by military personnel. The report describes a "lack of government respect for judicial independence" and "widespread government corruption."

"Impunity persisted despite government steps to dismiss and prosecute some in the security forces, executive branch, and justice system who committed abuses," the report added.

Open borders, abolish ICE, sanctuary cities, decriminalize illegal border crossings.

El Salvador is not safe for many of its own nationals and is struggling to meet their needs, which is why many seek asylum in the United States. It is unrealistic to expect El Salvador to be able to offer protection to asylum-seekers fleeing conditions comparable to those in El Salvador.

El Salvador is plagued by gangs and is among the world’s deadliest countries, with one of the highest homicide rates on the globe.

According to a 2018 State Department report, human rights issues included allegations of “unlawful killings of suspected gang members and others by security forces; forced disappearances by military personnel; torture by security forces; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; lack of government respect for judicial independence.”

Up until Donald Trump ended the foreign aid to the Latin American countries, illegal border crossings were at a 50 year low! Now after the cuts, thousands are fleeing Latin America and setting new records for asylum seekers pouring into the US.

A problem caused by none other than our Clown and President Donald "Jackass" Trump!
