MEXICO CITY, Feb 6 - The Mexican government said on Monday it is opposed to a possible restart of the U.S. immigration policy known as "Remain in Mexico" which required asylum seekers to wait for U.S. hearings in Mexico., which had been introduced by the Trump administration and is currently suspended.

But U.S. states such as Texas and Missouri filed a lawsuit to keep the program active and in December a U.S. judge paused Biden's attempt, saying the Department of Homeland Security had failed to adequately explain why the policy was ineffective and should be scrapped. Mexico's foreign ministry did not state its reasons for its opposition. Activists argue the policy, officially called Migrant Protection Protocols , leaves migrants in dangerous border cities where they face threats of kidnapping and extortion.

If the Mexican government remains firm in its opposition, U.S. officials would likely have to consider whether asylum seekers can stay in the United States while their claims are evaluated or make other arrangements to remove them from the country.

They will not be able to stop USA.

It has to end. Soon I hope. Too much is too much

$$$$$ smell the corruption? Didn't mind when Trump administration asked for remain in Mexico. What changed ?$$$$$

We are mad you make us keep our own people - Mexico

Tough shit. Send them all back, we don't want them.

Really ? WHO CARES ? ...THEY allowed ILLEGALS into their country....they can take care of them !

Of course they’re mad.

Why don't they want to stay in Mexico?

Fine. I'm sure Joe Biden can work something out like sending them to Ukraine.

Mexico makes money off of the illegal activity they want them to come here so the cartel can make more money under Biden because when we elect Trump he'll have to deport them...again.
