U.S. and Mexican officials are discussing a new U.S. refugee program for some non-Mexican asylum seekers waiting in Mexico, four sources said, part of President Joe Biden's attempts to create more legal avenues for migration.
The program would likely be open to Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan refugees in Mexico, the sources said. Migrants would need to show they were in Mexico before June 6 to qualify, one of the sources said.
The sources - a U.S. official, a Mexican official and two people familiar with the matter who all spoke on condition of anonymity - stressed that the issue remained under discussion and no final decisions had been made. It was not clear how many people might benefit from such a program.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants from those four nations have passed through Mexico en route to the U.S. during political and economic upheaval in recent years, straining resources in both countries and putting political pressure on Biden, a Democrat seeking reelection in 2024.
The plan under discussion would allow qualifying migrants approved for refugee status to enter via the U.S. refugee resettlement program, which is only available to applicants abroad, the sources said. Unlike most migrants who claim asylum after entering the U.S., refugees receive immediate work authorization and government benefits such as housing and employment assistance.

I don’t think anyone will accept some deal like this (’Make Mexico Great Again’....MMGA).
Also....I saw RFK discuss things about his border visit....noting a fair number of Chinese are crossing the border now. Maybe we should start worrying about this?
Yahoo means the US is exploring a “Stay in Mexico” policy.
Dishonest trash.
Notice they picked nations with the lowest education levels—easy to preach being a dimmocommie to such people.
10,000 Chinese have been apprehended already this at the border. How many got away and were not apprehended? It’s already a huge problem because almost all caught are late teen early twenties healthy males.
this year...correction above
There is a way to turn it back, but the people of this country aren’t willing to do it, for now.
Sadly, if the Republican states formed a united bloc, they could do something about this, but they choose not to. The Governors, AGs, and state legislatures just sit back and watch their states burn and crumble to the ground.
More of the world’s “refugee” sewage coming!!! And every one of them has their own scam to rip of Americans.
I would prefer they not “apprehend” the scum. Once they do, they get free diaper changes and then the crap becomes U.S. citizens. America is being overrun. We need some common sense legislation with the Bidenskyyyyy Family importing all of these corrupt Bidenistas.
Cuban, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan refugees?
They are fleeing left-wing communist countries that once they eliminated the shackles of the ruling classes should be workers’ paradises-especially Cuba, a workers paradise since 1957.
Xi much happy plan working
