Biden has so screwed up the border that Mexico is unlikely to take back asylum seekers

 Washington Examiner:

The outcome of the Supreme Court’s order that the Biden administration restart former President Donald Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy and begin sending asylum-seekers back to the other side of the border depends on whether Mexico will allow migrants to be returned.

The likelihood that the Migration Protection Protocols, as the program is known, will be carried out is thought to be low, given that Mexico has refused to accept back other migrants sent from the United States under a different U.S. policy.

“Mexico is under no obligation to take back people who are not Mexicans into its territory,” said Theresa Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, adding that it "100% boils down to what Mexico will do.”

The Supreme Court’s decision Tuesday evening mandated the Biden administration go back to returning migrant families seeking asylum to Mexico, where tens of thousands were sent from 2019 through early 2021 to live in tent cities and encampments while they awaited their day in U.S. court. President Joe Biden rescinded the program but was sued to reinstate it by Texas and Missouri in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

“The reality is, Mexico could put its foot down and say, ‘No,’" said Brown. "Just like Title 42, they can put their foot down and say, ‘No, we're not going to take people back under either of these scenarios, and we're just done.’ And then the administration has to find something else to do.”

...

The policy worked under Trump because he had reduced the flow of immigrants to a manageable level that Mexico could deal with.  Biden's disastrous policy has already overwhelmed the US ability to deal with this flow, much less Mexico.  Biden has been a total disaster on so many levels that removing him from office through impeachment may be the only way to deal with the problems he created.
