President Biden may say to the U.S.-bound caravan from Honduras that it isn’t welcome here, but if he does indeed sign a reported executive order to scrap former President Donald Trump’s successful safe-third-country deals, that will constitute one clear message to the caravan that our borders are open for business.

The former president’s greatest success at securing our southern border was arguably his successful deal-making with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Under new safe-third-country agreements, migrants seeking asylum from any of those nations have to apply for asylum in the first nation whose border that they cross. Otherwise, the United States has the right to send an asylum seeker back to the person’s nation of origin. Biden has reportedly put the brakes on an executive order to cancel these safe-third-country deals, and he’d be wise to refuse to sign it altogether.
