Joe Biden is said to be considering sending migrants trying to enter the United States to “safe third countries” as part of a compromise to help him secure funding for Ukraine’s military struggle against Russia.

To appease Republicans who say that the situation at the US southern border has become unmanageable, discussions are reportedly under way to identify countries where migrants would be sent to live while their asylum claims were processed.

Donald Trump agreed a similar deal with several countries in Central America, including El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Critics of that policy pointed out that many migrants were fleeing those very countries because they were anything but safe and were often plagued by gang violence and poverty.

The British Government has sought to address what it has described as an immigration crisis in the UK by trying to send would-be migrants to Rwanda, a plan that was recently judged by the country’s top court to be illegal.

Earlier this week, Mr Biden said he was willing to compromise on the issue.

“I’ve made it clear that we need Congress to make changes to fix what is a broken immigration system, because we know, we all know it’s broken, and I’m willing to do significantly more,” he said at the White House.

“But in terms of changes of policy and to provide resources we need at the border, I’m willing to change policy as well.”

The Wall Street Journal said that in talks between the White House and Republicans, Mr Biden’s administration had made clear it was willing to discuss several ideas to curtail asylum access.

It’s going to end up just like Britain’s Rwanda plan. They pay a third world country billions and then send no one.

And they could still be furnished ballots, hopefully pre-filled in, to send in so they could participate in our democracy. Win-win./s

IMPEACH the Bastard!! We don't need to "fix a broken system." We do NOT "all know it's broken."

All he has to do is enforce the LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE. He won't do that. Impeach!! Treason!!

The important part: “while their asylum claims were processed”. So they’ll just be right back in the US once Mayorkas approves all of their claims.

Do you know why Russia doesn't have an illegal immigrant problem?

Because illegal immigrants in Russia get nothing! No money. No healthcare. They can't even board a train to go anywhere. And if they get caught in the country illegally? They're sent to a labor camp in Siberia.

Russia didn't even have to build a wall.

It can be done, --if we had the will to be mean to people. Unfortunately, we don't.

I’d strongly recommend distributing, evenly, all 60-million MIVs between Russia, Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, North Korea, and Pakistan...

To be assured that they are treated, there, fairly, I’d recommend distributing about 30-million American citizen Communist Party supporters along with the MIVs...

Britons Prime Minister is trying to send their illegals to Ruwanda and getting oodles of push back from their politicians. It’s threatening his position.

“Why not back to where they came from?”

That makes too much sense.

I’m nominating Venezuela as my top choice of the “safe third country” list. Pay Colombian cartels for the use of their transportation channels to transport them there on their way back to pick up the next load.
