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 President Joe Biden rescinded the program but was sued to reinstate it by Texas and Missouri in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.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.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
