Immigration Tent Court Sends 42,000 Back to MexicoWhat’s not to applaud about this small success in the national security and humanitarian crisis of the century? By: Sarah Cowgill | September 23, 2019 White tents popping up along the US border with Mexico are part of President’s Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) – a policy put into action to keep asylum seekers out of America while going through the vetting process for legal documentation. It’s a rocket docket for immigration hearings that normally could take years to process, and it is handily reducing wait times to as little as 40 to 60 days. With a backlog of 800,000 cases waiting to be decided, the tents seem practical, smart, and humane.
Under the MPP, migrants apprehended at the border are sent back to Mexico. After Trump’s tariff threats and the resulting negotiations with the Mexican government, asylum seekers are given a social security number, documentation for employment, and are assisted in finding a job.
The pop-up temporary courtrooms are in Laredo and Brownsville, TX, a stone’s throw from the international barrier. Now with the increasing cooperation of our amigos in Mexico, the administration has eyes set on additional locales.
Under scrutiny for overcrowded detention facilities and a flood of inflammatory accusations from Democrats, the program commonly referred to as “Remain in Mexico†opened the doors for journalists on all sides of partisan reporting for a look-see on the process.
