Terrible policy.

First, we lied to Mexico to get them to go along. The promise was, "You stay in Mexico and we will process your asylum claim and let you in when it's processed."

Except. We didn't do that. We filed them all under "I don't give a shit."

Fatally Flawed - Human Rights First

“Remain in Mexico” Policy Should Never Be Revived On August 8, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the end of the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” (RMX) policy. The announcement came after a federal district court, following a Supreme Court ruling in June 2022, lifted an...

But the RMX policy—and others like it that would force asylum seekers to wait outside the United States for their cases to be heard—simply cannot be implemented lawfully, safely, fairly, or humanely. During the court-ordered reimplementation of RMX (or RMX 2.0), asylum seekers reported horrific kidnappings, rapes, and other violent attacks after DHS returned them to Mexico. RMX hearings also remained a due process farce. Only a tiny percentage of the individuals whose cases were decided under RMX 2.0 managed to find attorneys to represent them. A vanishingly small number of the mainly Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans subjected to the policy were granted asylum—just 63 people out of more than 1,600 completed cases.


Furthermore, Mexico refuses to go along with re-instating it.

It was working.

How do you define working.

If you define it as "**** those darkies," I guess it was working.

If you define it as fairly and equitably resolving legitimate cases for asylum from countries we've declared as human rights abusers, then, no, it wasn't working at all.

Lol, it was working to keep illegals out. No matter what color their skin was.

Except it really just kicked the can down the road.

So, imagine you are an asylum seeker in Mexico, and you decided to participate in MMP. And no one is processing your case. And you have to live in a camp in squalid conditions AND be subject to violence by the gangs.

How do you NOT try to get over the border?

The only reason why MMP worked somewhat was because in 2020, with Covid Raging in the US, people weren't as keen to come here.
