The Biden dministration is sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to northern Mexico as part of the reinstated Migrant Protection Protocols, or MPP, a Trump-era program requiring asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are adjudicated.
The problem is, the administration won’t say how much, or what these funds are being spent on, or who is receiving them. Republican lawmakers have been asking the State Department for answers to these questions since December, but so far heard nothing in response. On Tuesday night, a dozen Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken demanding more information.
The background here is that President Biden terminated the MPP program, commonly known as Remain in Mexico, soon after taking office, but a federal judge ruled last August that the administration had acted in violation of federal law and ordered it to restart the program. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case but did not block the lower court’s ruling that the program be reinstated.
So far, it seems, the Biden administration is dragging its feet, even as the border crisis drags on with record numbers of illegal immigrants being arrested every month. In their letter, the Republican lawmakers said they have “serious concerns with the Department of State’s refusal to provide information on U.S. foreign assistance funds” being used for Remain in Mexico. The GOP lawmakers, led by ranking member Rep. Michael McCaul, have been asking for information about the reinstatement of the program since December, when the Biden administration announced it had reached an agreement with Mexico to resume Remain in Mexico.

If you call the illegal invaders “migrants” the debate is already lost.
Do they include voter registration kiosks?
“Do they include voter registration kiosks?”
Why bother? A few bytes here…a few bytes there…
Forget all this noise. Start talking about impeachment and treason.
Ukraine’s borders are sacred
Ours are not.
This has been going on since the ‘80s.
Which is more likely?
1) The GOP has finally discovered it.
2) They are worried about their base discovering they were involved since the ‘80s.
If they haven’t yet crossed the border into the United States, they could be considered migrants. As long as they keep waiting their turn down there, however many years that might take.
How about investigating the NGO’s who are greeting and moving these illegal aliens all over the country. Tell us exactly who they are, how they operate and how much they are paid for this nefarious work they do!!!
The wall must be completed while immigration policy is brought back to a semblance of sanity. A government that abandons 80 billions-worth of armaments to terrorists can't complain over 2 billion to finish what should have been accomplished twenty years ago. There is no acceptable excuse.
