Fixing the unmitigated disaster that has taken place at the U.S.-Mexico border over the past four years will likely take at least some cooperation from Congress. But just as Joe Biden acted unilaterally to undo former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, Trump would have the power to begin restoring border security soon after taking office should he win this November.
Here are eight key actions on the border that Americans might expect early on in a second Trump administration.
Restore “Remain in Mexico”
One of the most successful Trump border policies – and one of the first to go under Joe Biden – was “Remain in Mexico,” officially the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). This policy required individuals claiming asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border to wait in Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings rather than entering and staying in the United States.
In February 2021, Joe Biden ended Remain in Mexico, replacing it instead with “catch-and-release.” Now, migrants claiming asylum are released into the interior of the United States until their court dates – which are sometimes set up to 10 years or more in the future.
