Joe Biden ends Donald Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' Immigration Policy
UPI ^ | 06/02/21

Posted on 06/02/2021 4:53:59 PM PDT by Enlightened1

The Biden administration has formally ended a Donald Trump immigration policy that forced tens of thousands of asylum seekers to await their U.S. court dates in Mexico.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the end of the Migrant Protection Protocols in a six-page memo on Tuesday, stating he has determined after a review that the policy does not "adequately or sustainably enhance border management" to justify its existence.

 

"In making my assessment, I share the belief that we can only manage migration in an effective, responsible and durable manner if we approach the issue comprehensively, looking well beyond our own borders," he said.

He said the program, which intended to rapidly adjudicate asylum claims, had a focus on speed but did not always make sure conditions in Mexico would enable applicants to attend their immigration hearings in the United States.

The policy was also intended to reduce the burden on border security personnel and resources, but Mayorkas said the program "imposed additional responsibilities that detracted from the department's critically important mission sets."

"Any benefits of maintaining or now modifying MPP are far outweighed by the benefits of terminating the program," he said. "Furthermore, termination is most consistent with the administration's broader policy objective and the department's operational needs."

Implemented in late January 2019 and continuing until President Joe Biden put a halt to it on his first day in office, the policy directed border officials to return some 68,000 people to Mexico.

Getting the border open was why Trump was cheated out.

The Big Steal was bipartisan.

Well this is what the GOP establishment wanted. That’s why they were urging Trump to concede.

Anyone read this article about the 5 year old boy abandoned by smugglers, left alone and terrified? Thanks a lot Joe! If Trump was in office you can bet this story would be reported non-stop on the Marxist media...........https://nypost.com/2021/06/01/smugglers-abandon-5-year-old-boy-at-the-texas-border/?utm_source=facebook_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site+buttons&utm_campaign=site+buttons

Joe Biden ends Donald Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' Immigration Policy

Let's hope the next president can end Biden's "Empty Out Mexico" policy.

The reason for the Trump policy is because 99.99% of the people caught never showed up back to court 3 years later.

On the merits, Mexico is a better destination than the US for alleged refugees. No need to learn a new language or culture, a booming economy, a rich history of its own, Mexico has it going on. The US can’t even be said to have the rule of law and civil liberties anymore. I could imagine, if things grow worse, Yanquis crossing the border to Mexico, and learning Spanish on the fly.

More proof that the cartels are buying off dimrats.

The dimrats fight like hell for their donors.

Even democrat pollsters recognize how unpopular this decision will be......

The Biden administration does not care. They exercise power. Period.

The GOP learns nothing - “cue photo of Paul Ryan”

It doesn’t take a very intelligent person to realize BuckFiden’s handlers are doing everything they can to demonize President Trump.

Methinks 2022 elections are going to be a blood bath for dems.

I do not how you think that? This is because we learned from the 2020 Presidential election that elections are now stolen. The ballot was one place we could turn to, but I think that is gone too. Look at all the cheating the Democrats get away with. It’s insane.

Look at how California elections were stolen back in the 1990s, and has been in the Democrats hands ever since. California was more conservative than Texas, but the elections were stolen.

The big fall in California was after the sold out politicians along with their allies in the media ignored the California voters that said no to Prop 187. They are going to try the same thing to Texas.

What has to happen now are the States are going to have to leave the Union and reboot the U.S. Constitution. I bet if Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, then many of the other States would follow. I would bet probably around 30 States. Maybe 40?
