Trump Told Asylum Seekers To Do It “The Legal Way.” Now He’s Revoking 200,000 Of Their Visas.
Many Trump supporters keep insisting that his immigration purges are justified because the people swept up in them came here "illegally," so who cares if they get kicked out (or shipped off to some random war-torn country). When asked what people seeking asylum should do, the answer is often "do it the legal way." That...

Unión Europea insta a Estados Unidos a reconsiderar negativa de visas a delegación palestina para asistir a Asamblea General de la ONU
La Unión Europea ha solicitado a Estados Unidos que reconsidere la decisión de negar visas a miembros de la delegación palestina, incluido el presidente Mahmud Abbas, para asistir a la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York. Según el portavoz del Servicio Europeo de Acción Exterior, Anouar El Anouni, la solicitud se fundamenta en los acuerdos existentes entre Estados Unidos y la ONU, así como en las obligaciones del país como anfitrión. La UE lamenta que esta medida se haya extendido por segundo año consecutivo, impidiendo que Abbas asista presencialmente a la reunión de alto nivel de la Asamblea General. En respuesta a la negativa, la Asamblea General de la ONU aprobó una resolución el 17 de septiembre que permite a Abbas participar virtualmente mediante un mensaje de video, con 152 votos a favor, tres en contra y cuatro abstenciones. La sesión de alto nivel comenzará el 22 de septiembre. Estados Unidos justificó la negativa de visas argumentando que las autoridades palestinas no han cumplido compromisos asumidos con Washington, acusándolas de glorificar el terrorismo, pagar a personas condenadas por ataques contra israelíes y avanzar en procesos legales ante la Corte Penal Internacional y la Corte Internacional de Justicia. Además, Washington critica el intento de reconocimiento unilateral de Palestina sin avanzar en negociaciones. La negativa de visas para la delegación palestina ocurre por segundo año consecutivo, mientras que la ONU autoriza nuevamente la participación virtual de Abbas durante la Asamblea General.
