People seeking asylum in the United States have to remain in their home country until they are given a U-S immigration court date in the United States.

The Biden administration has cut a deal with the government of Mexico, which basically resurrects a policy that was put in place by the Trump Administration before it was dismantled on Day One of the Biden Administration.

The Trump Administration was strongly criticized when it put that policy in place, though the policy did work well in preventing a surge of tens of thousands of people at the U-S southern border, which we have now seen under more lenient Biden Administration policies.

The reinstated policy will begin on Monday Dec 6th 2021 near San Diego California and Texas border crossings.
