Mexico immigration Biden administration

shared by julianp22 on 01 Nov 21 - No Cached
  • The Biden administration on Friday announced its second attempt to end a Trump-era border program that forced migrants to wait in Mexico for their U.S. asylum hearings, issuing a new termination memo it hopes will pass legal muster.
  • "I recognize that MPP likely contributed to reduced migratory flows. But it did so by imposing substantial and unjustifiable human costs on the individuals who were exposed to harm while waiting in Mexico,"
  • Lawyers representing the government, as well as Texas and Missouri, which filed the lawsuit against the termination of the Remain in Mexico policy, are set to convene on Tuesday to hold oral arguments before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hearing the administration's appeal of the August ruling. 
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The Trump administration used the MPP to return 70,000 migrants to Mexico,
  • The modifications include expanding migrants' access to lawyers; striving to complete court cases within 180 days; and creating a policy exception for at-risk asylum-seekers, including migrants who identify as members of the LGBTQI community and those whose age or medical conditions make them too vulnerable to be returned to Mexico, DHS officials said.
  • Kacsmaryk also determined the reversal of the Trump-era border policy led the Biden administration to violate a section of U.S. immigration law that mandates the detention of certain asylum-seekers, since there's currently not enough detention capacity to detain all of them.

    About 2,000 people have gathered between the US and Mexico border. Neither of the countries are willing to accept them currently, citing Covid concerns as a reason. However, recently, the frequency of migrants arriving at US borders has been increasing, and I am curious on how this administration will handle it.

    Truly devastating. The United States needs better policies to accept immigrants and process asylum/refugee visas, especially from nations like Haiti, which have been ravaged by poverty, political violence, and natural disasters.I doubt these deportations will stop them from coming, and sounds like there are thousands more on their way.

    And there's a super interesting connection with Chile. . . .

    Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy called on Thursday for the suspension of the Schengen accord that lets people travel without passport checks between 26 European countries, saying the continent's migration crisis had made it unworkable. France also wants to establish a law that makes the goal of the asylum to ultimately result in sending the refugees back to their country once the threat is terminated.

    Interesting article on the migration crisis. Germany torn over who and how many to take; it also seems that however many are taken will be compounded, as those granted asylum can bring their families over, too.

    New York Times analysis of demographic, economic and asylum data for each country. Note: Britain, Denmark and Ireland are exempt from the new relocation plan. The plan is not comprehensive: Five times as many migrants have already arrived in Greece this year as the 50,400 who would be relocated to other countries by the plan. Interesting to see a visual on the distribution of migrants thus far and how it compares to that country's policy.

    A member of my spanish class shared this graphic in class and I thought it was a great visual of the current condition. By It can be difficult to fully comprehend the scope of the refugee crisis flaring up across Europe based on the numbers alone. That's where Lucify comes in. The Finnish data visualization site took the U.N.'s monthly count of asylum-seekers from 2012 through 2015 and used the numbers to create an amazing animated graphic.

    Does Rwanda have the resources to support the 500 incoming Libyan migrants? Why is Rwanda the best option? How can the EU, as a whole, make the decision to pay countries like Turkey to deal with migrants if leaders like Macron want to take a different approach? Who decides for the EU?
