CNN’s Flores: Some of 11K Migrants Waiting to Cross Know They Don’t Qualify for Asylum, But Know They’ll Be Released; Dingell: We Need ‘Tight’ Restrictions on Humanitarian Parole, ‘Criminals’ ‘Are Coming Over’ and Doing ‘Horrific’ Stuff

CNN’s Flores: Some of 11K Migrants Waiting to Cross Know They Don’t Qualify for Asylum, But Know They’ll Be Released:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Correspondent Rosa Flores stated that according to a shelter director she spoke to, some of the 11,000 migrants waiting in shelters in Mexico to enter the United States “know that they don’t qualify for asylum in the U.S.” But despite that, “many of them are still trying to enter the United States and plan to seek asylum,” because they’ve seen and heard from other migrants who came to the U.S. earlier that you can cross the border, turn yourself in, claim asylum, and then be released into the interior of the United States while you await your asylum hearing.

Flores said, “Now, back to those 11,000 migrants in northern Mexican cities, one shelter director telling me that some of those migrants know that they don’t qualify for asylum in the U.S. But asylum is the law in the United States. And so, many of them are still trying to enter the United States and plan to seek asylum, many of them blinded by the videos and voice messages that they’ve received from other migrants who have crossed the border, turned themselves in to immigration authorities, and have been released to American communities.” --->WATCH INTERVIEW HERE

Dingell: We Need ‘Tight’ Restrictions on Humanitarian Parole, ‘Criminals’ ‘Are Coming Over’ and Doing ‘Horrific’ Stuff:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that there has to be a “tight” definition of what constitutes a humanitarian crisis to bypass the normal immigration process under humanitarian parole because there are “criminals that are coming over and then have done something horrific.”

Co-host Sara Sidner asked, “I do want to ask you about one specific thing, because I know that the Republicans have been really sort of going after this one thing, saying this is the hangup, this is the big hangup, and it has to do with humanitarian parole, where the United States government can basically sort of let people in by bypassing the kind of regular immigration process, if — on a case-by-case basis — it’s for something urgent, an urgent humanitarian reason and can cause significant public benefit to the United States. That is one of the big issues that Republicans don’t want to see continuing. They want that parole issue to stop and not let people in, even with those sticking points. Is that a sticking point for you? Do you want to keep that in place, that decision to be able to help somebody if they’re in a major humanitarian crisis?” --->WATCH INTERVIEW HERE
