US to allow in thousands of asylum seekers waiting in Mexico

The Biden administration says it will start gradually allowing into the US tens of thousands of asylum seekers currently forced to wait in Mexico.

It says it will begin next week processing about 25,000 people with active cases.

Asylum seekers will first be required to register and pass a Covid-19 test, before being allowed in via one of three border crossings.

The move reverses the much-criticised policies of ex-President Donald Trump.

The Migrant Protection Protocols programme was enacted in 2019, deterring would-be asylum seekers from coming to the US.

It required migrants entering through the southern border to wait in Mexico while their cases were being heard by US immigration courts.

But on his first day in office since winning last year's election, President Joe Biden suspended the policy.

Two of the three crossings for the “asylum seekers” are in Texas-Brownsville, and El Paso. The third is in San Ysidro, California.

When did Biden decide to start testing illegals? Is Biden trying to get rid of Fox, as they’re the only ones who mention negative Biden stuff, like letting in illegals, without testing for Covid-19?

Maybe it makes sense, that the Corona virus story has served its purpose, and you will hear less of it now. Onward - now the big changes and the reset ... New international currencies. All sorts of things, unimagined 2 years ago.

But citizens can’t travel to or from Florida cause, you know, COVID!
= = = = = = = = = =
EVERY R from PDJT down should be shouting this at the top of their lungs and pushing for legislation to override this madness also the ‘supposed’ CBS report of possible papers for travel.

Add this to the ‘new’ stimulus money, 15 min wage and unemployment so high, the numbers will skyrocket as these ‘newbies’ will be taking all the available ‘stoop labor’ jobs.

Throw in the ‘forgiving’ the college debt, not enforcing rent agreements etc and one dares ask ‘What is Wrong’ when in reality the question should be

WFT???????????????

Maybe I’ll self-identify as an illegal immigrant.
