DeSantis sent migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, the Biden admin is trying to send them back to Mexico and Panama HotAir

In the midst of all of this vocal moralizing about the treatment of migrants, another story that was published yesterday afternoon has been almost completely overlooked.

As border crossings have soared to record highs, U.S. President Joe Biden s administration is quietly pressing Mexico to accept more migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela under a COVID-19 expulsion order that the White House has publicly sought to end, seven U.S. and three Mexican officials said.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concerns about an escalating number of crossings by migrants from the three countries during a visit on Monday to Mexico City, two U.S. and two Mexican officials told Reuters, but Mexico did not promise any specific actions&

The U.S. effort to pressure Mexico on these three particular nationalities illustrates the depth of concern within the Biden s Democratic administration about their border crossings. Most migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela who cross into the United States are allowed to stay to pursue asylum claims, since they are difficult to deport due to frosty diplomatic relations with their governments&

Biden officials are also exploring ways to push responsibility to other nations beyond Mexico, sources said.

For example, the White House wants Panama to accept deported Venezuelans if they passed through the Central American nation en route to the United States, two of the U.S. officials said.

This is exactly backwards. We should welcome people from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. These refugees from communism are unlikely to become Democrats, once they figure out the lay of the land.
