US, Mexico Widen Asylum Crackdown to Push Back All Migrants

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP) — A Trump administration program forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico has evolved into a sweeping rejection of all forms of migrants. Both countries are working to keep people out of the U.S. despite threats to their safety. The results serve the goals of both governments, which have targeted illegal immigration at the behest of President Donald Trump. He threatened Mexico with tariffs to force action. Some people sent to wait in Mexican border cities say they never requested asylum.
