At first glance, news that the Biden administration has reached an agreement with Mexico to take back migrants from Venezuela who have been arrested for illegally crossing the southern border sounds like a big deal.
If the new policy is that all Venezuelans will be returned to Mexico after illegally crossing the border, where they will then be allowed to pursue their asylum claims as they wait in Mexico, then that would be a positive development. It would mean President Biden was finally returning to President Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy, albeit for just one country.
