foxnews.com/politics/us-migrants-from-mexico-as-biden-trump-policy The U.S. on Friday began admitting migrants waiting in Mexico for their immigration cases to be processed -- as the Biden administration moves to wind down the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a move critics say could fuel a new border crisis.
A limited number of asylum-seekers will start being allowed in at border crossings in San Diego on Friday, to be expanded next week. Officials say that approximately 25,000 migrants are waiting in Mexico as part of MPP.
The program, known as the "Remain-in-Mexico" policy and agreed to with Mexico, was a key component of the Trump administration’s efforts to curb the 2019 border crisis and end "catch-and-release" -- by which migrants were released into the U.S. to await their hearings.
MPP set up court tents at the border where migrants could have their hearings and cases processed and then would return to Mexico to await the result. Proponents said it stopped the pull factors bringing migrants north, and was effective in weeding out illegitimate asylum claims. But critics claimed it was cruel and designed to close the border -- pointing also to squalid conditions in camps set up on the Mexican side of the border.
Biden ordered a review of MPP after entering office, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced last week that it would begin to process migrants placed in the program.
"As President Biden has made clear, the U.S. government is committed to rebuilding a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system," Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. "This latest action is another step in our commitment to reform immigration policies that do not align with our nation’s values."
Its funny how the US is such a horrible racist place that kills POC every second but people are willing to die trying to get in.
Its just one hypocritical mess for liberals in their pile of logos that they call a brain

I think the catch is wherever the migrants are coming from is usually worse.

white men farm owners need cheep labor force, and most of the factories too, or China will eat your economy...
Landon Lee
I'm not even sure why we farm here since out leaders prefer to offload it to poor countries in south America instead Sure, I'd prefer we farm here but because our politicians either want to exterminate conservative farmers or exploit cheap labor from non-citizens I guess that just won't ever happen any time soon
Sebastian Thomas
Based Biden.
Jonathan Gonzalez
And with this, the liberal attack on America is complete. For people who complain nonstop about Republican gerrymandering leftists sure love to steal future elections by supporting mass migration
Austin Stewart
If the migrants are such a boon for whichever nation takes them in, why isn't Mexico jumping at the chance to integrate all of these future doctors and engineers into their country? Seems pretty foolish of them to let such an amazing opportunity pass them by like this.
Xavier Brown
That doesn't bode well for what we can expect our country to become when they get here
Brandon Russell
Curious isnt it?
No kidding.
Christopher Sanders
If democracy is so good, there why are there still authoritarian dictatorships like Saudi Arabia? Countries don't just automatically follow whatever policies would be the most efficient or successful.
Jose Davis
I don't understand your line of reasoning at all. In any case Mexico is a democracy, one of the safer countries in the world, and people there speak spanish. A language that most of the refugees are competent in.
Evan Scott
If fascism is so good, why did Trump's violent coup fail?
Samuel Brooks
>I don't understand your line of reasoning at all. You implied that because Mexico doesn't accept as many immigrants as the US, that must mean accepting immigrants isn't actually beneficial to a country otherwise Mexico would be doing it too. This doesn't make any sense because countries aren't governed by superhuman AIs that pursue out the best and most efficient policy at all times, it is possible for the Mexican government to make mistakes or to purposefully follow policies that are actually detrimental to the country.
Lucas Garcia
Isn't it odd that no country that isn't majority white sees diversity and mass immigration as positive or enriching?
Jaxson Jackson
I'm a different user. America is an extreme outlier in accepting immigration. Even Canada doesn't do what we do in that regard.
Adam Carter
The countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the world are the small Persian Gulf states (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain). Literally like 70% of their populations are migrant workers, mainly from India.
William Rogers
Canada has a larger proportion of immigrants than the US does (20% vs 15%).
Owen Bennett
>The countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the world are the small Persian Gulf states (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain). Literally like 70% of their populations are migrant workers, mainly from India. 2 things: 1. those people aren't citizens. Visa workers. They are cheap labor for Persian Porky 2. Persians consider themselves white. White people disagree.
Aaron Clark
Foreign labors allowed to work there for subhuman wages are not the same as immigrants. They don't get citizen status. Surely you see the difference
Asher Taylor
Do you just pull irrelevant factoids out of your ass user?
Look at the screening process you need to follow to emigrate into canada.
