President Joe Biden's border chief is making a second effort to cancel the "Remain in Mexico" program because it hinders migrants' ability to ask judges to let them stay in the United States.
Mayorkas, who is the secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, ignored the benefits to Americans of the program even as he described the risks and harms to migrants.
Wealthy American progressives - including Mayorkas - incentivized those poor migrants to risk their lives by loosening the U.S. asylum rules after 2008.
Mayorkas also ignored Americans' legal and economic rights to a secure border, even though he admitted the migrant flow crashed when President Donald Trump's deputies ran the program, also called the Migrant Protection Protocols the relevant data is simply insufficiently precise to make an exact estimate of the extent to which MPP may have contributed to decreased flows at the southwest border.
Mayorkas also admitted the RIM program accelerated the legal review of migrants' claims for asylum; "MPP did result in some removal proceedings being completed more expeditiously than is typical for non-detained cases." But he downplayed that benefit for Americans by arguing that migrants must deliver "Fair and just outcomes" to foreigners.
In August, Kacsmaryk directed Mayorkas to restore the MPP or else detain all asylum-seeking migrants until their claims have been decided.
Mayorkas also wants to open a new doorway to citizenship at the border by giving his pro-migrant deputies the authority to grant citizenship on the spot to a very large number of migrants, without any pushback from judges, or review by groups that recognize the economic harm of migration.
