Yes

 @B2LXPVXIndependent from Georgia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Imagine you had a organized crime family who wanted to cause harm to you and your family because you didn't want to pay them and the only way was for you to leave your home and family that you've built just to come to a country where you are persecuted and belittled because you didn't have the time to go through the complex legal process to come to the country legally.

 @B6PSP53Republican from Arizona  agreed…10mos10MO

An asylum seeker from Mexico shouldn't be allowed to have the same access to healthcare as an American citizen. This is due to how the asylum seeker isn't worthy of American healthcare until they are a citizen of the United States, because this right is not yet granted to them as they are not an American citizen. This in turn requires for asylum seekers to become American citizens so that may benefit from the same aids of American citizens.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No

 @B6PSP53Republican from Arizona  disagreed…10mos10MO

Asylum seekers should not be able to benefit from American led programs until they become United States citizens. Them benefiting from American programs creates inequality between citizens of America and asylum seekers, as there is no point to being an American citizen if someone outside the country is able to access the same benefits as an American citizen without any credentials.

 @B2KL8LV from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

It depends on the case, but most of the time people who are fleeing from Mexico should be given a safe place to reside.

 @B5DHVJPRepublican from California  answered…1yr1Y

No, establishing a deal with Mexico where we can have a cross border area that both nations can ensure the human rights of the asylum seekers as their cases are processed.

 @B46VKHT from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

This presumed a racial profile claiming that asylum seekers are only regard to Mexico rather than the whole support status. I think in general they should wait status for approval in the current country they are in depending on the circumstances like a dictorial government like a corruption of power like Haiti, North Korea and others alike. If requiring the fleeing from one home country to find another of peace and livilyhood. It should be understood that proper measures are put in place but also audited to all accounts like a Government agency meaning to be audited as well.

 @B2KPKM3 from Minnesota  answered…1yr1Y

they should be required to stay wherever they are from while their case is being processed not to tarnish a relationship with Mexico.

 @BDW86BV from California  answered…2wks2W

No, but they should not be released freely into the general public either. I would suggest using ankle monitors until their case can be heard.

 @BDTCBVF from Pennsylvania  answered…2wks2W

We should not allow people to seek asylum here, as it is often exploited by bad actors in both the public and private sectors.

 @BDLFYBJAmerica from New York  answered…4wks4W

 @BBRDTVP from South Carolina  answered…3mos3MO

Asylum seekers should have a safe place to reside while their asylum claim is adjudicated. The US, Canada, and Mexico should have a multinational agreement to fairly balance the impact on each country.

 @BBH74WB from Maryland  answered…4mos4MO

they should be given refuge to specific city in the US while their case is processed as asylum seekers are trying to get away from the terrors of where they were

 @B8P5M7C from Michigan  answered…7mos7MO

No, if they pass an initial screening and meet all of the qualifications they should be able to come to the U.S.

 @B88N5DY from Massachusetts  answered…7mos7MO

No, but they should be required to remain within the city limits of the sanctuary city. They are in until their cases have either been approved or disapproved.

 @B3ZX2P2 from Massachusetts  answered…1yr1Y

No, but they should not be allowed to leave the sanctuary city they are in until they have obtained citizenship.

 @B2KC7T8  from California  answered…1yr1Y

In the end a hard yes or no is hard for me to say. People only escape like that if they are scared, but I think that they should also understand that going over illegally is against the law and should be prepared to be deterred.

 @BDXT4YC from California  answered…6 days6D

 @BDXDLMCfrom Washington  answered…1wk1W

 @9RMN4JW  from Pennsylvania  answered…1wk1W

No, but establish secure, well-resourced processing hubs within the U.S. or in southern Mexico to protect migrants from cartel violence. Also, utilize alternatives to detention, such as electronic monitoring or community-based oversight, allowing migrants to live safely in the U.S. while awaiting their court dates.

 @BDX8GVPDemocratfrom Maine  answered…1wk1W

No but there should be better processes that make overstaying illegaly harder and less common

 @BDWMRP5  from Minnesota  answered…1wk1W

No they should stay in their country until further updates and whether they qualify or not.

We could making holding buildings to get them out of that environment.

 @BD5HLFX from New Jersey  answered…2mos2MO

No, they can be put somewhere safer temporarily, but they don’t have to go back to Mexico if it’s dangerous for them.

 @BD33RY4Constitution from Georgia  answered…2mos2MO

 @BD33RJ9 from Alabama  answered…2mos2MO

No, they should be held in a detention center in the US until they can be verified.

 @BD32CYV from Alabama  answered…2mos2MO

No, they should be admitted to a US detention facility to be investigated until we can verify their claims.

  @Mosby-Politics  from Michigan  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if they're from Mexico. Non-Mexicans traveling through Mexico to seek asylum from the US should be denied.

 @BD29VHHDemocrat from North Carolina  answered…2mos2MO

They should be allowed to stay in a designated space inside the country they seek asylum in.

 @BCYDSRD from Washington  answered…2mos2MO

No, but they should be under watch of the American government and taken to the same place

 @BCY4DPS from North Carolina  answered…2mos2MO

Those who effectively prove they are in imminent danger should not be required to wait, but those who are not should wait.

 @BCY44G2 from North Carolina  answered…2mos2MO

No, but they should be held by some sort of government agency to avoid any issues.

 @BCWS7YC from Michigan  answered…2mos2MO

A system shouldn’t be able to determine the nature of a threat to an individual. If an individual feels threatened, they have a reason to feel that way. The government should provide security from these threats until they pass.

 @BCW8F75Independent from Indiana  answered…2mos2MO

If their location is safe for them then yes, if not, locate them to a safe location while cases are processed.

 @BCW87XVRepublican from Georgia  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCV37CP from Indiana  answered…2mos2MO

No, they should be allowed to stay in a safe shelter while their cases are processed.

 @BCV33Y4 from Louisiana  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCTTHG2 from Florida  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCTSZZCRepublican  from Florida  answered…2mos2MO

No, but I would want them in some kind of in-between hold facility until they are processed properly.

 @BCSX66TSocialistanswered…2mos2MO

i think they could be distributed to mexico, the united states, and canda.

 @BCT2T73 from Colorado  answered…2mos2MO

They should be able to stay in a embassy or something similar to an embassy

 @BCSX7QR from North Carolina  answered…2mos2MO

they can stay in facilities for people seeking asylum which will be managed by the US government.

 @BCSTCGJ from Pennsylvania  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCS53RXConstitution from Alabama  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCRQWG5 from New York  answered…2mos2MO

No, Mexico might be too dangerous for the seekers if they are seeking asylum, and is unsafe.

 @BCRD9FV from Oklahoma  answered…2mos2MO

If they are Mexican the question doesn't explicitly say "Mexican asylum seekers".

 @BCR2KW4Socialist  from California  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCQF8V7 from Kentucky  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but if they are in true life danger there should be a place at the boarder under us imagination custody they can stay while being processed

 @BCHQ6JR  from Indiana  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCPWR2DDemocrat from Texas  answered…2mos2MO

No, but they should be able to be quickly accessed if their case is rejected

 @BCPQ9S2  from Nevada  answered…2mos2MO

No, there should be a middle ground in our boarder that ensures they can be documented and verified for our safety while still removing them from potential danger

 @BCPL2N3  from Washington  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCPL2N3  from Washington  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCPL386 from North Carolina  answered…2mos2MO

No they should held in not a prison but like a temporary shelter they can't leave until they are processed but it has good quality of life like good hot food comfy beds nice guards and immagrents children will temporarily be placed in foster homes while their parents are being prosessed and make trials speedy so they only have to spend 3 days-a week in a facility

 @BCNFKJC from California  answered…2mos2MO

All people indigenous to the Americas should have expedited processing for citizenship

 @BCNBB4J from Texas  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCMMYB9 from Washington  answered…2mos2MO

 @BCMDKKN from Minnesota  answered…2mos2MO

No they should be kept somewhere that is safe for them till there are result for the case.

 @BCM5WZKIndependent from California  answered…2mos2MO

Only if there is an agreement with Mexico. If not then there should be a designated place they have to stay until their case is processed

 @BCKXG8P from Missouri  answered…2mos2MO

It depends on the severity of the case. If the person really needs to get to America to seek asylum the court case should be moved up and be done as quickly as possible. If the person is in immediate danger by remaining in Mexico, they should be allowed into America but be limited on where they can go and what they do until the case has been processed.

 @BCKRGPR from Arkansas  answered…2mos2MO

Only if they have a safe place to stay in Mexico. If they do not, they should be given the chance to live in America until their case is finished being processed.

 @BCKRFHBRepublican from Arkansas  answered…2mos2MO

I think they should so that the US is comfortable letting an alien in without having the extra cost to that person and eventually causing death.

 @BCJ8YCCDemocrat from New York  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but only after we work with Mexico to establish a system that ensures their safety while being able to easily legally enter the United States

 @BCHBSB3Republican from Texas  answered…3mos3MO

If they are able to, yes; if they are suspected of being in immediate need of fleeing, they should be able to enter the US with ankle monitors until they are processed.

 @BCCYX9D from New Jersey  answered…3mos3MO

No, but they can't just roam around the United States while their case is being processed so keep them in a temporary facility while the case is processed

 @BCCFWWN from Texas  answered…3mos3MO

asylum seekers should not be detained in detention centers and should be treated as immigrants who plan to become a law abiding us citizen.

 Deletedanswered…3mos3MO

No, this can lead to biometric tracking and digital IDs at borders which can lead to a global surveillance state, and abolish ICE, the welfare state, and military industrial complex interventionist wars overseas like the Mexican Drug War and Operation Fast and Furious incentivizing asylum seekers, and let state and local governments handle asylum seeker cases with due process.

 @BCB7GGKIndependent from California  answered…3mos3MO

They should be required to remain in Mexico if their lives of the lives of others are at serious risk

 @BC92KWZ from Indiana  answered…3mos3MO

They should remain in a neighboring country only if they travel to seek asylum, otherwise, they should remain in their country of origin.

 @BC8QJC8 from California  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, there’s no such thing as a Mexican asylum seeker. They are not a 3rd world country and there is no war there

 @BC88YQG from North Carolina  answered…3mos3MO

I feel there should be a specific place to keep them that both protects them and keeps them out of the US until they are processed.

 @BC7GP5G from Georgia  answered…3mos3MO

The assumption that all immigrants are from Mexico is in itself problematic. Immigrants seeking asylum, regardless of their country of origin, should receive a uniform process of treatment and consideration for the circumstances surrounding their request for asylum. Due process should be applied to determine impacts of safety and other factors pertaining to their case and how our government should best respond.
