Biden unveils Trump-style plan to deter asylum seekers at Mexico border Administration’s most aggressive plan yet would bar most migrants who hadn’t sought protection in other countries first
The Guardian ^ | 21 February 2023

The United States could bar tens of thousands of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border from claiming asylum under a proposal unveiled on Tuesday that would be the most wide-ranging attempt yet by Joe Biden’s administration to deter unauthorized crossings.

Under the new rules, the US would generally deny asylum to migrants who show up at the US southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through, mirroring an attempt by the Trump administration that never took effect because it was blocked in court.

The measure, while stopping short of a total ban, imposes severe limitations on asylum for people of any nationality except Mexicans, who don’t have to travel through a third country to reach the US.

...advocates and some fellow Democrats have criticized him for increasingly embracing Trump-style restrictions as he has struggled to cope with record numbers of arriving migrants.

The measure is almost certain to face legal challenges; Donald Trump pursued a similar ban in 2019 but a federal appeals court prevented it from taking effect.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) vowed to fight the Biden rule in court, comparing it to the Trump restriction, which was dubbed a “transit ban” by activists.

So... going back to what Trump did is a bold and exciting plan?

Nobody leaves a successful, working country.

Why are we taking in all these people who made their home into a sh*thole?

20+ million anti-American illegal aliens too late.

All smoke and mirrors - Biden is flying them in from all over the world directly into the US at US taxpayer expense via a direct processing program recently instituted by Mayorkas to avoid the optics of illegals even getting near the border.

This jerk made it so they don’t have to go to the border. Download the app, get a free ticket paid for by taxpayer funded “charities” hop on a plane and away you go in the comfort of an airplane. No need to trek though Mexico. And the ACLU will probably sue if the invaders don’t get first class tickets.

It’s just something for the resume, in case he runs for president again.

It’s not something that’s going to be enforced, but, democrats need something to show on the platform for border control. In any case, the same number of people will be entering the country illegally, and perhaps even more. By the time Biden’s first time is over, he well have taken in over 10 million illegally, and 2 million more in the got-away category. And enough fentanyl to kill everybody in the world a couple time.

This was already agreed to by UN countries.

This is the general policy all other countries follow.

Probably next year so Biden can claim he closed the border prior to the election.

When Trump implemented it, it was racist, and it had to be stopped. Now it’s bold, original, humane and aggressive.

"The measure is almost certain to face legal challenges; Donald Trump pursued a similar ban in 2019 but a federal appeals court prevented it from taking effect."

HELLO MCFLY?! White Hospice doing to run this up the flagpole again knowing it's already been knocked down by CAIR Coalition v Trump. "Oh yeah, we've taken Trump-era action to stop these migras just in time for the election."

However, it was working for 9.5 months during the Trump Administration, as SCOTUS permitted rule-in-force until DC District released their decision June 2020, and during that time -- it worked.

The only chance here is somehow Trump's language from "Asylum Eligibility and Procedural Modifications," 84 Fed. Reg. 33,829, gets inserted into a new rule in a novel way that satisfies SCOTUS (screw District), and then is appealed up to SCOTUS. That latter part is never going to happen until the White Hospice is removed and Trump reinstated.

Sh!tholes are usually the doings of a great many people, least of all those fleeing them, although they might have added their half shekel, too.
