The Biden administration on Friday announced plans for tens of thousands of asylum-seekers waiting in Mexico for their next immigration court hearings to be allowed into the United States while their cases proceed.
The first of an estimated 25,000 asylum-seekers in Mexico with active cases will be allowed in the United States on Feb. 19, authorities said. They plan to start slowly with two border crossings each processing up to 300 people a day and a third crossing taking fewer. Administration officials declined to name them out of fear they may encourage a rush of people to those locations.
The move is a major step toward dismantling one of former President Donald Trump's most consequential policies to deter asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. About 70,000 asylum-seekers were enrolled in “Remain in Mexico,” officially called “Migrant Protection Protocols,” since it was introduced in January 2019.
On Biden's first day in office, the Homeland Security Department suspended the policy for new arrivals. Since then, some asylum-seekers picked up at the border have been released in the U.S. with notices to appear in court.

I believe we all can thank George Bush for his "Faith Based Initiatives" that provides the money to these Leftist Churches to provide these refugee services.
""""About 50 to 80 adults and children have been arriving daily since Jan. 27 at Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, which temporarily houses people released by the Border Patrol, said Sister Norma Pimentel, the group’s executive director. The charity tests for COVID-19 and sends anyone who tests positive to a hotel for isolation.
Jewish Family Service of San Diego housed 191 asylum-seekers the first 10 days of February after the were released by U.S. authorities, up from 144 in January and 54 in December, said Eitan Peled, the group’s border services advocate. They are quarantined in hotels for 10 days.""""
’ Yeah, that secret won’t get out on Spanish-speaking social media.
And I hear none will be covid tested before being released
Being poor and unemployed are NOT legitimate reasons for asylum and never have been.
Bad unemployment numbers a year down the road. 2-5% of the US work force can be unemployed if there is a undocumented worker needing no health care payments is available.
The democrats are piling on all the crap on the economy at the end of covid. Their base will wonder why the economy did not spring back up, and be the motivation to spend trillions.
They, too, should be allowed to enter our country and wait here (while sucking off the taxpayers' teat) until their case is adjudicated - which could take years.
To treat Chinese asylum-seekers any differently than Latin American asylum-seekers is clearly "raciss."

Why wait for a hearing? Just call AOC to pick them up.
Demoncrats are bent on destroying America. They are murderers, ( murder is planned). They are killing babies, killing our energy independence, killing the US’s financial security, killing employment, killing our military, killing girl’s sports, killing our Constitution, killing our cities, killing people’s wealth,... killing ALL that is righteous and good.
