Great work. Thousands are also being stopped through the deal with Mexico from ever even reaching the U.S.
Via Daily Wire:
Before President Donald Trump acted, foreigners who entered the United States illegally and sought to claim asylum were processed and then … released into the United States.
They were then required to return for a hearing on their status, but that would usually take months, sometimes years.
Then the Trump administration enacted the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which became known as the “Remain In Mexico” policy. The protocols did just that: foreigners who entered the U.S. illegally were processed, then released into Mexico to await their hearings.
Instead of waiting, though, thousands of migrants who were returned to Mexico gave up their asylum claims and went home, Fox News reports.
