When it comes to immigration,\nthe Biden administration apparently doesn\u2019t know whether it\u2019s coming or going.\nEither way, the U.S. is dragging Mexico along for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Washington\u2019s urging, Mexican authorities<\/a> have flown 13,000 Central American migrants from northern Mexico cities to the country\u2019s southern region, including 1,200 last week. Now the U.S. also has begun flying expelled Central American families deep into Mexico<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While not explaining why these illegal aliens aren\u2019t sent all the way back to their homelands, the White House is reviving a program that will airlift groups of Central American nationals directly <\/a>into<\/a><\/em> the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Encapsulating\nthe administration\u2019s mixed signals, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\nSecretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared last March: \u201cWe are not saying don’t\ncome. We are saying don’t come now, because we will [eventually]be able\nto provide a safe and orderly process to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For\nyears, the federal government has intermittently flown deported Mexican\nmigrants back home, but this appears to be the first time that Central\nAmericans are dropped off in southern Mexico. If the intent is to discourage\nnorthbound migration, then flying them all the way home would be much more\neffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last week, a group of expelled Hondurans and Salvadorans<\/a> was left in a remote jungle just north of the Guatemalan border. Far from their homes, and a dozen miles from the nearest city, many said they will head north again. Turning illegal aliens loose in southern Mexico only serves to expand the migrant population in that country, and doesn\u2019t necessarily deter continued northbound travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meantime, Air Biden is shuttling other migrants from Texas\u2019 Rio Grande Valley to other <\/a><\/em>U.S. border cities<\/a>, and then on to other destinations across the country. Maybe Secretary Mayorkas plans to reward migrants with frequent flyer points on these trips?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a\nweird and costly way, the administration\u2019s focus on transportation logistics\nputs deterrence in the backseat. What\u2019s the point of all these southbound and\ncircular flights as long as Team Biden is not only ramping up a program to fly\naliens into this country anyway, but continuing to allow hundreds of thousands\nof people who enter the U.S. illegally to remain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to immigration, the Biden administration apparently doesn\u2019t know whether it\u2019s coming or going.
