Mexican Law Halts U.S. From Turning Back Some Migrant Families

Because of a recent law that prohibits the detention of immigrant children and families, Mexico has stopped accepting such families from South Texas.

WASHINGTON — A Mexican law has stopped the United States from rapidly turning away migrant families at one of the busiest sections of the southwestern border, forcing agents to resume releasing families into the country, according to three Biden administration officials.

The Trump administration began turning back migrants entering the United States in March, citing the threat of the coronavirus, and the emergency rule effectively sealed the border from asylum seekers. But because of a law Mexico passed in November that prohibits the detention of immigrant children and families, the country has stopped accepting such families from South Texas, an area typically susceptible to illegal crossings, officials said.

So now Mejico is telling Biden what he can/can't do about immigration in this country.  First of all, this would have never been tried under Trump.  It looks like Mejico and Uncle Joe have made a deal to make sure the US gets more un/under educated people, which means more welfare, and long term unemployment, which means more long term welfare.
