The “Remain in Mexico” deal allows Mexico to say it did not give in to Trump’s push for a “safe third country” deal. But it gives Trump’s border agencies a legal way to ignore the establishment’s catch and release policies, which allow economic migrants to get U. S. jobs when they merely carry a child across the border and ask for asylum.
Under the deal, migrants who arrive at the border will have to remain in Mexico until their court dates. The means they cannot get into the United States, cannot get U. S. wages, and cannot repay smuggling debts to the cartels.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter account was silent following the deal, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer poured sarcasm all over the deal:
Trump won his deal June 7, two days after Schumer predicted Trump was bluffing:
Trump’s win gives him more leverage in the back-and-forth negotiations with Democrats and business over U.
