Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) says she will introduce a bill this week to reinstate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (also known as the \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy), which President Joe Biden abandoned on his first day in office.<\/p>\n<p>Called the \u201cMake the Migrant Protection Protocols Mandatory Act,\u201d Blackburn\u2019s bill would require foreigners seeking asylum who cross the southern border without proper identification and other papers to remain in Mexico until their case is heard in a U.S. court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden\u2019s failed immigration policies have created a crisis at our southern border,\u201d Blackburn said in a statement, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/sen-blackburn-bill-reinstate-trump-migrant-protection-protocols\">reported<\/a>. \u201cOver half a million illegal aliens have poured across our southern border since Biden decided to repeal President Trump\u2019s successful policy that forced migrants to remain in Mexico while seeking asylum. My legislation will stop Biden\u2019s decision to catch and release migrants into our communities and reinstate President Trump\u2019s Remain in Mexico program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden used an executive order to do away with Trump\u2019s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which kept foreigners who claimed asylum after being intercepted by United States Customs and Border Patrol while crossing the United States-Mexico border in camps in Mexico while they awaited hearings. Instead, Biden returned to a \u201ccatch-and-release\u201d policy in which illegal aliens are allowed to enter the U.S., are given a court date, and then released to family who live in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the flow of foreigners to the border exploded. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents apprehended nearly 100,000 people at the border in February. Last April, just more than 16,000 were captured at the border, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/03\/15\/migrant-apprehensions-at-u-s-mexico-border-are-surging-again\/\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Pew data.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorka said the surge of foreigners at the southern border is the worst in 20 years.\u00a0While still refusing to call the situation a \u201ccrisis\u201d \u2014 calling it merely a \u201cdifficult situation\u201d \u2014 Mayorkas said in a statement that \u201c[w]e are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas also said that many of the thousands of unaccompanied minors now detained in border facilities have family already in the U.S.\u00a0\u201cIn more than 80 percent of cases, the child has a family member in the United States. In more than 40 percent of cases, that family member is a parent or legal guardian. These are children being reunited with their families who will care for them,\u201d Mayorkas said.<\/p>\n<p>According to data released by the Customs and Border Protection, some 19,000 migrant families were caught at the border in February, more than double the 7,000 families caught there in January. Unaccompanied children caught crossing the border increased from 5,694 in January to 9,297 in February.<\/p>\n<p>Trump last month accused Biden of causing \u201cdeath and human tragedy\u201d by overturning his border policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe proudly handed the Biden Administration the most secure border in history,\u201d the former president said in a statement. \u201d All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot. Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden Administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster. They are in way over their heads and taking on water fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Team Biden blamed Trump for the swarm of foreigners at the U.S. border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden officials claim Trump officials did not fully cooperate with his transition team, hindering their ability get a realistic view of potential migration, and that Trump deconstructed the immigration and asylum system \u2013 which they then inherited,\u201d the Daily Mail\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9385307\/Biden-officials-blame-Trump-border-crisis-15-000-unaccompanied-kids-custody.html\">reported<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we were coming into the administration, we knew we were inheriting an absolute mess from the previous administration \u2014 that there were aspects of our legal immigration system that had been gutted and a department that lacked the personnel to administer our laws,\u201d said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the director of the White House\u2019s office of intergovernmental affairs,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/20\/politics\/immigration-border-crisis-biden-administration\/index.html\">according<\/a>\u00a0to CNN.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
