Migrant Asylum Entries Increased by 50% Under Biden's Phone App

Illegal Immigration

The Biden administration’s border policies are out of control.

According to a new report by the Pew Research Center, migrant asylum entries increased by 50% in the first six months of this year compared to the same period last year. This is a direct result of Biden’s decision to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed.

The MPP was a successful program that helped to deter illegal immigration and protect American jobs. But Biden ended it on his first day in office, and now we’re seeing the consequences. Migrants are flooding across the border, and our border patrol agents are overwhelmed.

The Biden administration claims that it is “protecting asylum seekers.” But the truth is, they’re just encouraging more people to come here illegally. And that’s not fair to the people who are trying to come here legally.

It’s time for Biden to reverse course and restore the MPP. We need to secure our border and protect our country.

What is the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)?

The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy, was a Trump administration policy that required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed in the United States. The policy was designed to deter illegal immigration and protect American jobs.

The MPP was controversial, and it was challenged in court. In 2020, a federal judge blocked the policy, and it was effectively ended.

Biden’s Ending of the MPP Led to Increases in Migrant Asylum Entries

Ending the MPP made it easier for people to cross the border illegally. Under the MPP, asylum seekers had to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed. This made it more difficult for them to cross the border illegally, because they had to travel through dangerous areas and they had to worry about being deported.

Without the MPP, asylum seekers can now cross the border illegally and then claim asylum once they are in the United States. This is much easier and safer than crossing the border illegally and then having to wait in Mexico for their case to be processed.

MPP Was a Successful Program That Deterred Illegal Immigration

The increase in migrant asylum entries has put a strain on border patrol resources. Border patrol agents are overwhelmed, and they are not able to process asylum claims as quickly as they need to.

The increase in migrant asylum entries has also led to an increase in crime in border communities. In some communities, crime rates have doubled or even tripled since the end of the MPP.

Secure the Borders

There are a number of things that can be done to secure the border, including:

  • Restoring the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)
  • Building a physical barrier along the border
  • Increasing border patrol funding
  • Cracking down on human smuggling
  • Working with Mexico to secure their border
