It wouldn't happen regardless of who negotiates or who is President. It would destroy the concept if political asylum and that would be a far greater travesty than letting some criminals live out their lives in another country. Would you be willing for America to go back in íts word and force an individual we had given political asylum to return to a country they had fled for whatever reason, knowing that person would be, at best imprisoned? As much as I would like to see justice prevail, political asylum should be sacrosanct for all nations.
