Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Monday said the department will begin forcing more Central American migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their proceedings take place as the situation at the southern border worsens.
“The crisis at our border is worsening, and DHS will do everything in its power to end it,” Nielsen said in a statement. “We will not stand idly by while Congress fails to act yet again, so all options are on the table."
Nielsen is expanding the Migrant Protection Protocols, which was set in place in December. MPP, or the "Return to Mexico" policy, mandates those who wish to apply for asylum at a port of entry must return to Mexico and wait there while their case moves through the immigration court system.

Send them all back ! Be done with asylum BS.
To do anything less as Congress continues to fail to act would be irresponsible and dangerous.
Dave T: Ever think that maybe we should have been already doing this? Whose the great rocket scientist who figured this one out?
Snipers. Everything would settle down within a month after word spreads.
They are sending them to the wrong place!
Try Antarctica and they won't come back!
I'd say bus them all to Pelosi and Schumer's houses open their mile high gates and fences for party time. Let them reap the benefits of never keeping their mouths shut and opposing anything for us the people for real Americans.
