From the Daily Caller: The Trump administration reached a bilateral agreement intended to dissuade illegal immigration to the United States and establish more destinations for asylum seekers.
The State Department signed a Safe Third Country agreement with Belize, according to a Monday announcement from the Central American country’s government. While more details are to be announced, the deal will allow asylum seekers in the U.S. — many of whom entered unlawfully — to resettle in Belize and pursue their cases there.
The deal follows an unprecedented campaign by the Trump administration to arrest and deport illegal migrants across the country. As the immigration crackdown continues, the White House has pressured a number of foreign governments to become a landing spot for many of the deportees who refuse or are unable to return to their home countries.
The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs wrote on Monday, “Thank you to the Government of Belize for signing a Safe Third Country Agreement – an important milestone in ending illegal immigration, shutting down abuse of our nation’s asylum system, and reinforcing our shared commitment to tackling challenges in our hemisphere together.”

CARICOM Member State Belize appears to have agreed to accept deported US migrants maintaining that it “retains an absolute veto over transfers, with restrictions on nationalities, a cap on transferees, and comprehensive security screenings.” 😑 https://t.co/6tqKOZHeQP pic.twitter.com/H721Aop1it
