Mexico disputes US Supreme Court order on asylum restrictions vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said Thursday that Mexico’s government doesn’t agree with an “astonishing” US Supreme Court order that would block migrants from countries other than Mexico and Canada from applying for asylum at US borders.Speaking at President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s daily news conference, Ebrard said that Mexico has a different policy when it comes to asylum seekers and would never implement such a rule.
Ebrard declined to explain that expected effects, saying that he had various meetings scheduled on Thursday to try to evaluate how Mexico will be affected. But the ruling is likely to drive more Central American migrants to try to irregularly enter the US with the help of smugglers or move them to apply for asylum in Mexico, which is already swamped with applications.
He also said things were looking better for the ratification of a new free trade agreement between US, Mexico and Canada. It also accepted the expansion of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, under which the US has sent more than 40,000 asylum applicants back across the border to wait in Mexico. Asked about her comments Thursday, Ebrard said Mexico also had concerns and requested a meeting with her office to exchange information.
