Sen. Blackburn Introduces Legislation to Reinstate Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) introduced legislation seeking to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) policy to curb the recent surge of illegal immigrants at the border.
The bill named, “Make the Migrant Protection Protocols Mandatory Act,” would require migrants who cross the southern border without proper documentation to remain in Mexico until their case is heard.
President Joe Biden has been facing criticism from more than a dozen Republican governors, as well as attorney generals in several U.S. states, for reversing the Trump-era policy by signing an executive order on Jan. 21, hours after his inauguration, that would “cease adding individuals into the [MPP] program.”
