Testifying on Capitol Hill Thursday in front of the House Judiciary Committee, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced a new partnership between the United States and Mexico.

From now on, illegal aliens from Central America who enter the United States through Mexico, will be deported back to Mexico for processing.

"Effective immediately, the United States will begin the process of invoking Section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.  Once implemented, individuals arriving in or entering the United States from Mexico—illegally or without proper documentation—may be returned to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings," Nielsen said. "They will not be able to disappear into the United States.  They will have to wait for approval to come into the United States.  If they are granted asylum by a U.S. judge, they will be welcomed into America.  If they are not, they will be removed to their home countries."

"We have notified the Mexican government of our intended actions.  In response, Mexico has informed us they will commit to implement essential measures on their side of the border to facilitate this process by providing humanitarian assistance.  They have announced that affected migrants will receive humanitarian visas to stay on Mexican soil, the ability to apply for work, and other protections while they await a U.S. legal determination," she continued. "In the coming days, we will discuss with Mexico ways to ensure the implementation of our decision in a way that is transparent, effective, and ensures a safe and orderly flow. Moreover, as was announced by the United States and Mexico on December 18th, both countries are also committed to work on a comprehensive plan to reduce irregular migration across the region."

Great news. This actually creates an avenue for the illegals currently in the US to be removed across the border while they wait to see if they can reenter.

Winning?  Bull Plucky!

They are just being relocated geographically.  If they stay here in the US they high-tail it to a local Welfare office and start sucking in our tax dollars for food stamps. housing, medical care, etc.

Trump just promised Mexico a huge amount of money...our tax dollars once again...and suddenly Mexico wants to babysit these asylum seekers for us?

Either way we are being robbed blind.

I know Congress pulled that crap, but what did Trump give them?
