US President Biden reimplements Trump's ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy to stop immigrants

Washington: – US President Joe Biden has been forced to reimplement the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, designed by former US President Donald Trump to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country. An agreement was reached with the Mexican government last week. The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that it had resumed implementation of ‘Remain in Mexico’ on Monday. After becoming the president, Biden had started a spate of scrapping Trump’s policies. But the Biden administration has been forced to retreat on the issue of illegal immigrants following a jolt delivered by the court.

In the last few months, it has been revealed that the Biden administration has sent more than 1.5 million illegal immigrants to free into the country. This led to a state of emergency in Texas and Florida on the US-Mexico border. Additional security forces also had to be deployed in some areas. As the situation worsened, the resentment of the American people also began to increase. Petitions were also filed in court against Biden’s decision. At a similar hearing, a Texas court lashed out at the Biden administration and ordered the implementation of the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.

The court order also forced President Biden to sign an agreement with the Mexican government. Implementation of ‘Remain in Mexico‘ begins this week. Democrats, as well as NGOs, have reacted angrily to Biden’s decision. NGOs claim that the Remain in Mexico policy is inhumane and does not meet international criteria. Democrats have blamed Biden for of disappointment.

Former President Trump has taken an aggressive stance against immigrants arriving in the United States. Along with the construction of the Mexico Wall, policies such as Remain in Mexico were implemented to prevent immigrants from infiltrating through the Mexican border. This included the provision to keep immigrants coming to the United States from Mexico, in Mexico, until the initial legal process is been completed. Trump’s decision led to a sharp drop in the number of immigrants crossing the border.

But after Biden took over as the President, a series of decisions were made to free the illegal immigrants. Biden also accused Trump of ‘tarnishing’ the face of the United States. The Biden administration had also introduced a new bill in Parliament to grant citizenship to more than one million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
