The US border has deteriorated from an improving situation under Donald Trump to an absolute out-of-control disaster under Joe Biden. We’ve seen record-breaking numbers of apprehensions (which means total crossings are record-breaking as well) under the current president, as the White House has discouraged enforcement and focused on made-up controversies instead of protecting the country.
Yet, even as the administration remains so maliciously inept, things are set to change. Biden is now set to bend the knee to Trump, reinstating the highly successful “Remain in Mexico” policy which saw the border stabilized under the last president.
President Biden will start turning asylum seekers back to Mexico as soon as next week under a reinstated Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” program — but will offer them the option to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, Axios has learned.
There are some catches, though. For one, this wouldn’t be happening without a court order that the administration vehemently fought. Yet, I suspect this is one “loss” the White House welcomes. They can pretend they don’t actually want to reinstate the policy while reaping the benefits of it. Expect a lot of playing both sides, with Biden claiming, on the one hand, that his hands are tied while at the same time taking credit for the border situation when it improves.
Hey sleepy Joe…………TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!!!
