President Joe Biden is now rejecting sensible border policies that aid refugees, help our border guards do their job, and dissuade Central American families from making terribly dangerous and costly treks across Mexico, apparently all because Trump was the one who implemented them.
On his first full day in office, Biden suspended the "Remain in Mexico" policy to dissuade families from trekking to our border with frivolous asylum claims.
The "Remain in Mexico" policy didn't mostly result in migrants remaining near Mexico's border with the United States awaiting asylum hearings in the country.
Biden has now turned the magnet back on, resulting in inhumane overcrowding at U.S. border facilities.
These families were not necessarily trying to sneak past border guards.
Trump put an end to that with a simple rule: If you show up at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking asylum, you will get your day in court - but you must wait for it in Mexico.
The effect: a huge drop in the number of families showing up at the southern border claiming asylum.
