Libs dumped with illegal immigrants discover the merits of Trump's 'safe third country' deals
Opinion by Tiana Lowe - Yesterday 6:54 PM
At the start of Joe Biden's presidency, some of us here warned the White House not to scrap the numerous Trump administration deals that, unlike the former president's ephemeral dreams of the wall, actually succeeded in reducing encounters across the southern border by 88%.
Key among these were Donald Trump's "safe third country" deals brokered with Northern Triangle nations to require would-be refugees to apply for asylum in the first safe country they reach. For example, the deals that Trump secured with Central American neighbors required that, say, an ethnic Mayan fleeing Guatemalan genocide would have to apply for asylum in the first safe country — in this case, Mexico, not the United States — if heading north.
Instead, Biden ripped up all those safe third country deals, reversed Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, and began enacting the widespread catch-and-release of immigrants — including those ostensible asylum-seekers who didn't even obtain a court date before being released into the country. We all know how this story ended, with southern border crossings up 155% from Biden's inauguration, total crossings on pace to pass 2 million this year alone, and daily crossings ballooning to 8,000
