Libs aren't swayed by trump's fear tactics.

It's uncorroborated.
No U.S. media reported the remarks; the Associated Press only reported Vice President Pence's speech, and the U.S. State Department posted the remarks of Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo. As far as is known, no U.S. official has commented on President Morales' remarkable claim of apprehending so many terrorist migrants.
Healthy skepticism is warranted here. (Guatemala happens to have requested $15 billion in border security assistance, and President Morales is laboring under accusations of corruption)...
Today, I asked a journalist friend of mine, who is a Guatemalan citizen and covers the country, what he thought about the report. He didn't mince words in an email:
All of the journalists down here believe that this is bullshit, and Morales is just trying to look good to Pence, Trump, and the U.S., but there hasn't been any reporting or news regarding this issue in Guatemala. Since most of us cover the interior ministry and the police, and they always make a big show whenever they capture someone, we think it's bullshit.

So you say. Yet a Guatemalan newspaper published the report initially, and you refuse to address that report with anything resembling a factual rebuttal.
That's straight out of Goebbels' playbook, isn't it? Infest the major media with ideologues; rely on them to spike any news deemed unsuitable, and then condemn any reports that mention that news as "uncorroborated by major media."
Libs never swayed. They adhere to the hive mentality rigidly and no independent thought or action is sanctioned.
You found that out when you rebelled against the late Queen.

Hahaha. A Guatemalan newspaper no doubt a mouthpiece of the corrupt Jimmy Morales.

Doesn't the term "rebelled" mean I didn't have hive mentality and did have independent thought?
Doesn't the term "rebelled" mean I didn't have hive mentality and did have independent thought?
That's what the late Queen deemed, and you were exiled from Court.
Is it? Guess who fucked up Guatemala and set off the chain of events that led to Morales holding his current position...
And this:
"Applying for Refugee Status
To apply for refugee status, you must receive a referral to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for consideration as a refugee.
USRAP gives its highest priority to people who are identified and referred to the program by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), a U.S. embassy, or a designated nongovernmental organization (NGO). Second priority is given to groups of special humanitarian concern identified by the U.S. refugee program. The third priority is family reunification—giving refugee status to people from certain countries who are spouses, unmarried children under 21, or parents of persons who were lawfully admitted to the U.S. as refugees or asylees.
If you've been selected by USRAP, you'll be asked to provide proof of your persecution and a detailed affidavit explaining what happened and why you are afraid to return to your home country. The affidavit is particularly important and should spell out the details of what has happened to you and what you fear would happen if you returned. (It's not enough to say something general like, "I was persecuted." To learn more about the kinds of persecution that may entitle you to protection, see Asylum or Refugee Status: Who Is Eligible?) You'll also need to undergo a medical examination and investigations to determine whether you are a threat to the security of the United States.
After submitting your application, you will meet with an overseas asylum officer who will make a decision on your case. If approved, you will be given a visa that you can use to enter the United States. If your application for refugee status is denied, there is no opportunity for appeal.
Applying for Asylum Status
How you apply for asylum status depends on whether you are at a U.S. border or entry point (such as an airport) or already in the country.
Applying at U.S. Borders and Entry Points. If you're at the U.S. border or airport and have a valid visa or entry document, it's best to use that to enter, without raising the issue of your need for asylum. If, however, the U.S. officials don't want to let you in, you can explain that you fear returning to your home country and ask to apply for asylum.
At that point, things will move very quickly. You may be put into a detention facility while you wait to be sent to a "credible fear" hearing with a USCIS asylum officer, which usually happens within a day or two. The officer does not have the power to approve your request for asylum—only to decide whether you truly seem to be afraid of persecution and, therefore, deserve to have a judge hear your case.
If you convince the asylum officer that you have a credible fear of persecution, you'll get the chance to see an immigration judge and convince him or her that you qualify for asylum in the United States.
If the asylum officer doesn’t believe you have a significant possibility of making a successful asylum case, you will be removed from the U.S. (deported) unless you ask an immigration judge to take another look at your circumstances. If you do, the judge must make a decision within seven days. If the judge disagrees with the asylum officer and believes there is some possibility that you could make a successful asylum case, you’ll get that chance in a later hearing in immigration court, possibly before a different judge. But if the judge agrees with the asylum officer that you have no chance of a successful asylum claim, you will be removed. There is no appeal from the judge’s decision.
Applying in the U.S. If you successfully make it past a border or entry point and into the U.S., you'll have more time to apply for asylum. In fact, you can take up to a year after entering the U.S. to start the process. (If that deadline has passed, talk to an attorney—exceptions are possible, and USCIS may show leniency when it comes to the deadline.)
Your first step in applying for asylum will be to fill out USCIS Form I-589 and mail it to USCIS together with other documents you'll be asked to provide. One of the most important will be a detailed affidavit which needs to contain specific facts that you're prepared to explain orally, as well.
Also consider applying for backup forms of relief, such as Withholding of Removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture.
It's also wise to include documents that back up your claim. Documents of a personal nature are ideal, such as a newspaper article about your arrest, a group membership card (if affiliation with that group led to your persecution), or medical records showing injuries you suffered from being beaten or tortured. Even if you don't have this kind of documentation, a well-prepared case should show that conditions in the country you fled from match what you've described in your affidavit. For example, if you're claiming that the government regularly threatens dissidents, it would help to have international press articles or reports by human rights organizations confirming this.
You'll be scheduled to attend an interview at a USCIS asylum office—eventually. As of early 2018, the wait for an asylum interview ranged from two to four years, depending on region. USCIS has an online Affirmative Asylum Scheduling Bulletin that you can check to see how long you may have to wait.
An attorney can help you prepare for your interview and even attend along with you. If you don't speak English, you'll also need to bring your own interpreter to the interview.
If the asylum office denies your case, it will refer you to immigration court. There, you can present your case again, to an immigration judge—and add more documents and evidence. Your own attorney will interview you in front of the judge, after which an attorney for the U.S. government will question you. The judge can ask more questions, as well. Such hearings can go on for hours and still not finish. It's common for them to be rescheduled to continue on another day.
If the judge denies your claim for asylum, you can appeal—first to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), then to a federal appeals court, even on up to the U.S. Supreme Court if it decides it wants to hear your case.
I never said they qualified for anything. I said, based on previous Central American groups, that they would seek asylum or refugee status.
Today, many are being prosecuted for criminal entry and put in detention centers waiting expedited removal.
Mexico needs them. They have a very high turnover rate in the drug cartels.
Who told you that?
The Mexican murder rate.
A good story by those involved in the process:
