Why isn't Mexico granting them refugee status?

They're economic refugees, 100%.

MEXICO CITY – The Mexican government on Tuesday condemned what it considers "cruel and inhumane" treatment of children from President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy that separates some families at the border.

Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Videgaray said at a news conference that Mexico does not promote illegal migration, but it “cannot remain indifferent in the face of something that clearly represents a violation of human rights.”

Videgaray complained that "better coordination" was required between the U.S. agencies responsible for caring for the detained children and health officials, that communications between parents and their children were difficult and that disorganization was making it "hard to have rapid reunifications."

Videgaray said the Mexican government has been providing support since the policy was announced. He added that only 21 Mexican children have been identified so far as separated from their parents. All but seven of those have returned to Mexico.

Adults caught crossing the border without using a legal port of entry face criminal charges, but the children are not. Through the end of May, almost 2,000 children were separated from adults who said they were their parents or guardians, the Department of Homeland Security said last week.

Most of the children separated from their families come from the Central American countries of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

Honduras on Monday called for the United States to stop separating immigrant children from their parents at the U.S. border. El Salvador warned Tuesday that the policy puts children's health at risk and could cause psychosocial scars.

El Salvador's foreign ministry said in a statement that the Trump administration's hardline policy of separating immigrant parents and children violated human rights and "strongly urged" for an end to the practice.

"These provisions are mainly affecting migrant children and adolescents ... exposing them to extremely adverse conditions, which will surely have consequences in their physical health and long-term psychosocial development," the statement said.

Mexico has come under criticism for its own treatment of Central Americans — detaining and deporting thousands of migrants, who don't have the proper papers — as they transit the country on dangerous trips trying to reach the U.S. border.

America started the drug war. This is 100% their fault from the start.

Mexicos treatment of inmigrants is far more worse and inhumane that everything the US have done in the last 20 years.

So they deserve it.

There are two possible responses:

1. If you are a human being then you will find this disgusting and immoral.
2. If you are a putrid rabid animal then you will find some justification for this.

I leave it up to respondents to place themselves into their own categories.

No surprises that Trump is a putrid rabid animal, along with his sycophants.

[Dalheim]

Then don't try to enter a country illegally with your child, idiots.

Except Mexico didn’t stop Hitler and become a beacon that all modernized nations should aspire to be.

They’re Mexico. They are poor and fighting a “drug war” based on 90 year old orders from a president who was impeached.

Actually Canadians headed up almost all the major battles in WWII where the US claimed victory. You are welcome!

[Nattwenny]

People seeking asylum are different from people that just walk into the country illegally. Just want to make that clear.

Fuck that's it! We let them keep their kids if they agree to pass through the US and apply for asylum in Canada!

[schwarzkopf]

Yep - much better to stay where you are and let them be raped and murdered.
Definitely must punish those criminal 6 year old kids.

This sounds like a plan. Round em up and drop them off there.

thank you for backing up that claim with all that evidence, you wrote it in invisible text too, impressive!

Mexico must be super high on the list of countries to uphold human rights to make such statements.

Oh wait..

"Mexico slams 'cruel and inhumane' treatment of children separated from parents"

You mean people that are apparently "Asylum Seekers" from Mexico? Meaning that they were being treated like shit already in Mexico?

Pot calling the kettle black much

Love this word "slams" when describing a reaction to something. Just picturing a caricature of the country of mexico pounding some crying kids and their parents into a wrestling mat with some sort of WWE move

[Cruor]

How about Mexico stops letting people illegally come into the USA in that case? How about we ship all our illegals and their children to them, and then they can re unite them and pay to support them? Also the wording is hilarious, "Mexico can not remain indifferent" what are you going to do? USA can crush Mexico in economic or military terms. We need harsher punishments for people who cross illegally into the country, not softer.

So US should take in illegals because of the children? Are you retarded?

SLAM, for someone above ten years hold and/or not zealously following Donald rhetoric, is a perfectly normal term for ''denounce''

it's impossible to not punish the kids while punishing the adults, and those adults knew about the consequences of their choices. also, since when is it our job as a nation to be captain save-a-hoe to the entire world and all their problems? stop being an ideologue and try living in the current world, if the united states took in every person from around the world who was having a hard time our economy and country as we know it wouldn't exist 20 years from now. the argument you're making is what i would expect to see from a high school student who doesn't understand how the world works, but in the world of adults and trying to balance an economy it doesn't hold up. shocking how sometimes the ideas and sweet quotes from more than 200 years ago don't quite work in the world today.

continue arguing for people who are breaking the law though, it lets everyone with a brain know real quick that you're not quite working with a full deck.

Now now let's not be hasty that poem was added later.
