Biden to revive Donald Trump’s successful ‘remain in Mexico’ program

[Counselor706]

The claimed policy shift comes after federal judges in Texas and the U.S. Supreme Court directed DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas to comply with federal law. The law requires that all migrants be detained until their asylum claims are decided by immigration courts, but DHS has not enforced it since 2009.

The DHS decision also comes after Mayorkas and his aides allowed roughly 500,000 wage-cutting economic migrants into the U.S. workplaces and communities — and while Mayorkas works to import at least 100,000 poor and often illiterate Afghans into Americans’ society.

The Remain in Mexico program works by cutting the supply of U.S. dollars to the coyotes, cartels, and their pro-migration allies in the United States.

The money supply was opened in 2009 by President Barack Obama allowed asylum seekers to avoid detention and get U.S. jobs and wages while they waited for their asylum hearing. Once people in Central American recognized they could get jobs while waiting for their asylum hearing, roughly three million migrants promised some of their families’ future U.S. wages to the coyotes and cartels in exchange for being smuggled through Mexico and into Americans’ jobs.

"Wage-cutting"?

This entire quoted section is confusing - why are they discussing Afghans at all in this context?

Perhaps the better question would be - why are all Trumpian analyses conflated with multiple unrelated grievances? In this particular case, it really makes their point harder to discern.

And why no mention of a "Remain in Afghanistan" program?
