    Ding , ding, ding... we have a winner.

    You are supposed to seek refuge in the first country to which you enter after fleeing your homeland. Mexico, like the US, is a signatory of the UN Convention and Protocol Relating to Refugees. Mexico, as per its duties under the Convention, offered these people refuge. They have apparently refused. Game over. When they reach the US border, they can be asked "were you offered refuge in Mexico" and/or "have you registered with NMI (Mexico's rough equivalent of US/DHS/USCIS)?" You can't pick and choose where you go as a refugee.


    I copied the above from a friend from my Citadel company who used to work on refugee and asylum issues (US govt refugee officer assignments in Iraq, Nepal and Jordan and migration officer assignments in Ciudad Juarez and San Salvador and asylum officer tours in Southern Texas).
