  Most places in Mexico are arguably as bad as where they left so see them back at the border in a month a guess?
context: Like it or not, they are going to just show up at the border.  They've got nowhere better to go.  Hell, if I was in their place I'd show up at the border too. >
  
  so you want to bring them in just so they can do the jobs you don't want to in order to keep your standard of living? >
  
  I do, but I want it as part of reform. Those undocumented migrants are incredibly vulnerable to abuse and other things. 
  Let's figure out how to process them legally on agricultural visas and bring them in. This would require us to greatly increase the number of those visas.
  If there is domestic competition for jobs let them petition to lower the number, but let's also start heavily fining businesses who thwart restrictions. 
  It's a little different for true refugees though which is the OP. >
  
  CMIW but- Don’t they have to in order to claim asylum or whatever?
  I thought you couldn’t make such declarations from some home countries. >
  
  Per the UN High Commission for Refugees
  
  The 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol are the key legal documents that form the basis of our work. With 149 State parties to either or both, they define the term ‘refugee’ and outlines the rights of refugees, as well as the legal obligations of States to protect them.
  The core principle is non-refoulement, which asserts that a refugee should not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom. This is now considered a rule of customary international law.
  
  Additionally, some pertinent sections from that Convention,
  
  Article 31 - Refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge
  
  
  The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
  
  
  The Contracting States shall not apply to the movements of such refugees restrictions other than those which are necessary and such restrictions shall only be applied until their status in the country is regularized or they obtain admission into another country. The Contracting States shall allow such refugees a reasonable period and all the necessary facilities to obtain admission into another country.
  
  
  Article 32 - Expulsion
  
  
  The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.
  
  
  The expulsion of such a refugee shall be only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with due process of law. Except where compelling reasons of national security otherwise require, the refugee shall be allowed to submit evidence to clear himself, and to appeal to and be represented for the purpose before competent authority or a person or persons specially designated by the competent authority.
  
  
  The Contracting States shall allow such a refugee a reasonable period within which to seek legal admission into another country. The Contracting States reserve the right to apply during that period such internal measures as they may deem necessary.
  
  
  Article 33 - Prohibition of expulsion or return ("refoulement")
  
  
  No Contracting State shall expel or return (" refouler ") a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.
  
  
  The benefit of the present provision may not, however, be claimed by a refugee whom there are reasonable grounds for regarding as a danger to the security of the country in which he is, or who, having been convicted by a final judgement of a particularly serious crime, constitutes a danger to the community of that country.
  
  
  Article 34 - Naturalization
  The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings. >
  
  You guys think like a Marshall plan for these 3 countries would help? It seems like a large chunk of the migration is stemming from either violence or abject poverty with little economic uplift. >
  
  As a south american I wholeheartedly disagree. Our countries are far too corrupt to benefit from this help. In most cases it just leads to a higher dependency on the US, which we don't want more of >
  
  Honestly the us is kinda what fucked up south America to start with so y'all might be better off if we just left everyone alone >
  
  WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Thursday said it would immediately begin turning away Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, a major expansion of an existing effort to stop Venezuelans attempting to enter the U.S. >
  
  What exactly does "turning away" mean? Are they going to actually deport people or just gonna about face them and tell them to walk back to where they started? So many have left circumstances far worse that attempting to hide illegally is a better option. >
  
  Mexico has agreed to take a certain # of migrants from other countries (I think 30k/day) so people from certain countries will immediately go back to Mexico.
