Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

PACR/HARP and Third Country Agreements

"These are two different policies:
One is called either the PACR, Prompt Asylum Claim Review for asylum seekers not from Mexico, or HARP Humanitarian (NOT) Asylum Review Process for Mexicans - they are denied due process and do not see a judge while their asylum claim is fast-tracked, which means they are often given less than 10 minutes to make a phone call to family or even a lawyer. They can be denied asylum and deported, all within 10 days. They are deported back to the country they are fleeing from, regardless of the danger. Their only option is to appeal to a Judge, but they don’t know they have that option, nor are they told.

Third Country agreements refers to the denial for the right to seek asylum in the US and they are immediately sent to Guatemala and soon, Honduras, to allegedly seek asylum there.
 

Flights from Brownsville, El Paso, Mesa, AZ, etc include those who were denied asylum in PACR and those who were denied the right to seek asylum in the US in third country agreements. It’s all evil, but they’re separate programs for deportation."
