Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announce the permanent termination of Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy. "The purpose of the policy was to reduce asylum fraud," Mayorkas observed. "However, the cruelty of stopping these long journeys on the one-yard line overwhelms this purpose."
"The dream of coming to America is what has made our country a prime destination for huddled masses yearning to live free," Mayorkas said. "Our nation is rich enough to make this dream come true. We cannot allow the miserly policy of America first to prevail after voters rejected it last November. The idea of reserving asylum for persons who have been politically oppressed is too narrow. Granting asylum to people from lands that are economically poor seems equally worthy to me."
The Secretary also pointed out "as a practical matter we are having a hard time luring Americans to go back to work. Too many of them are getting more money from unemployment compensation and federal stimulus payments than they can get from working. There's even talk in Congress of converting these temporary federal payments into a permanent guaranteed annual income. If this happens thousands more businesses will have to be closed due to lack of sufficient numbers of employees. We must do something to offset this problem. By being more welcoming to immigrants we can fill job openings that otherwise can't be filled."

I suggest we let them all come in. Then we can sneak south and close the door so they can’t go back. Let them deal with biden and his crowd.
I heard this week on faux news that Biden is allowing anyone who is handicapped or LGBQXYZ in automatically.
