The policy that forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico

In 2019, the Trump administration officially implemented the policy called MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols), also known as ‘Remain in Mexico’.

Broadly speaking, this rule states that asylum seekers cannot enter the US before legitimately receiving political asylum status. Therefore, under this policy, they must remain in Mexico until they receive a response to their immigration cases, which can take several months or even more than a year.

The Biden administration had to reinstate the MPP policy

President Biden’s administration has never agreed with the MPP policy and, in fact, permanently rescinded it by memorandum in June 2021.

However, a Texas federal judge intervened in the case and, in mid-August, stated that the Biden administration had not followed regular protocol when removing this policy and, therefore, should reimplement it as soon as possible.

When Biden attempted to appeal this ruling, the US Supreme Court upheld the Texas judge’s verdict, forcing his administration to reinstate the MPP program.

Advocates: Biden blindly accepted the MPP reinstatement

Dozens of immigrant rights advocates are disappointed with the Biden administration’s decision to blindly accept the Texas judge’s order calling for the reimplementation of the MPP policy.

They state that this rule jeopardizes the integrity of people in urgent need of international protection. This is because, under the MPP policy, asylum seekers:

• Live in temporary camps, where they do not always have access to clean water, food or medicine.
• Are at the mercy of local gangs and natural disasters.
• Live in unhygienic conditions that increase the health risk in the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic.

Therefore, immigrant rights advocates and several activist groups are calling on the Biden administration to act as soon as possible to remove the MPP policy and protect the lives of thousands of migrants, who are only looking for an opportunity to build a better future.

The Biden administration tries to prove otherwise

Biden’s DHS (Department of Homeland Security) issued a new memo in late October, attempting to incorporate the Texas judge’s concerns in order to rescind the MPP policy again.

Since litigation is pending, it is still uncertain whether the new memo meets the requirements necessary to permanently remove this rule.
