This will be shot down in court simply because the US does not have a Safe Third Country Agreement with Mexico. The US only has such a law with Canada. Without that agreement with Mexico, US law does not recognize Mexico as a safe third country and, therefore, migrants cannot be rejected for asylum in the US on the basis that they should've applied for asylum in Mexico instead. That's simply not permissible under existing American asylum laws.
