House Democrats Bennie Thompson and Nanette Diaz Barragán called it “the Trump administration’s reprehensible ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, which forced migrants to wait in inhumane conditions indefinitely before being allowed to come to the U.S.” But if you can abstract away from Trump’s role and look at the policy on its own merits, you see something quite different. The “Remain in Mexico” policy didn’t mostly result in migrants remaining near Mexico’s border with the United States awaiting asylum hearings in the country. It primarily resulted in migrants never making the perilous journey across Mexico, putting their own and their children's lives in danger. The asylum process had long been a magnet for illegal immigrants, and Trump shut off the magnet. Biden has now turned the magnet back on, resulting in inhumane overcrowding at U.S. border facilities.
