u.s.-Mexico Border: Rule and Effect Tuesday

u.s.-mexico border: It is certain to face legal challenges, according to CTV. According to the plan published in the Federal Register migrants who pass through another country -- in this case, Mexico -- on their way to the U.S. will be ineligible for asylum. The new rule, expected to go into effect Tuesday, would cover countless would-be refugees, many of them fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. The rule also applies to children who have crossed the border alone. But sometimes migrants from Africa Cuba or Haiti and other countries try to come through the U.S.-Mexico border, as well. The vast majority of people affected by the rule are from Central America. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
