Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton called on President Joe Biden to reimpose several of Donald Trump’s policies that Biden had reversed.
Biden dismantled the “Remain in Mexico” and “safe third country” policies that led to tens of thousands of refugees remaining outside the United States until their legal cases had been heard. He also lifted the public health exclusion for migrant children that has resulted in the still-expanding crisis in sheltering and caring for unaccompanied minors.
“The Biden administration keeps saying that Trump somehow dismantled the immigration system. That’s false. It was the Biden admin that dismantled three highly effective policies,” Cotton told Fox News Sunday this week.
You have to be deliberately obtuse not to recognize that the border crisis is a direct result of the repeal of these policies.
Fox News:
“The public health exclusionary order, they lifted that order as it relates to minors. Well, guess what we have now at the border? Lots more minors. That’s not a surprise,” Cotton said.
In February, the U.S. began admitting migrants waiting in Mexico for their immigration cases to be processed, part of the Biden administration winding down Trump-era protocols including “Remain in Mexico.”
Biden was so anxious to appear to be the “not-Trump president” that he created a border crisis in proving it.
Cotton touted one more policy, safe third country agreements.
“The so-called safe third country agreement with countries like Guatemala that says if you pass through a country that’s not your own seeking asylum, you have to make that asylum claim in the first country you pass through. That’s the international norm,” Cotton said. “Joe Biden could re-impose all three of those things this week if he wanted to.”

“Deliberately obtuse” is one reason, I can think of a couple of others.
Great idea, not gonna happen. These people could not be any stronger antipole Trump.
Dear Senator Cotton: The chaos at the border IS THE OBJECTIVE................
“Joe Biden could re-impose all three of those things this week if he wanted to.”

Sure, but the Uniparty wants the flood to continue.
Lots of ground to make up after the four year hiatus from the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
Um...there’s a bit more to it than that. Whoever is telling Biden what line to sign on isn’t concerned about whether Biden looks like a not-Trump President.
Maybe Sen. Cotton could have a conversation with his amnesty pimping fellow GOP Senators who are contributing to the flood to stop dangling amnesty as bait.
The left is so knee-jerk-anti-orange-man not a single Trump policy can possibly stand, no matter how practical in the short or long term. It’s sad and distressing to see emotions trump reality.
Tc seriously smart
Joe Biden and Jill need to get their affairs in order and begin moving back to Delaware.
Anyone willing to bet, there will be NO Press Conference this coming Thurs.? I read where Jill is out selling the COVID 19 BILL that Joey already signed. wasting more taxpayers money and time...
CONGRESS needs a wake up call..
Tom Cotton uses the national media to broadcast the truth of the border situation to the public which would not otherwise be made aware of the invasion. Sen Cotton has the ability, and intelligence, to talk directly to the American public about the reality of the events that the media routinely lies about.
Every MINUTE spent wasting time allows more of the enemy to enter in.<pI think armed Patriots should assemble at the border, force the usurper in chief yo call out the National Guard, and every Patriot go home .... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !
