With absolutely no support from Congress whatsoever Trump still manages to get the job done.
If the Trump administration’s goal with its new immigration policy, Migrant Protection Protocols,
is to encourage large numbers of migrants to abandon their asylum claims and return home, it appears
to be working.
A Mexican official estimated Friday that about half of those returned to Baja California have decided
to go home. Migrants have been returning mostly through private bus companies making exact figures hard
to track, he confirmed.
During the past five months, the U.S. has returned about 20,000 asylum seekers to Tijuana, Mexicali,
Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros, according to Mexican officials. More than half of those returned,
some 13,428, have been released into Baja California.
Too little too late? Maybe so but you have to start somewhere.
