Republican lawmakers push to reinstate “Remain in Mexico” policy
By Laura Harris // Jan 20, 2025

  • Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to reestablish the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, originally implemented by President Donald Trump in his first term but was repealed by former President Joe Biden.
  • Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) introduced the Make the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) Mandatory Act, arguing that the policy is crucial for restoring law and order at the border and prioritizing the safety of Americans.
  • The Biden administration's rollback of MPP and other enforcement measures has led to record-breaking numbers of migrants crossing the border, straining resources and prompting calls for stricter policies.
  • Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reintroduced the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act, which aims to strengthen collaboration between state, local and federal law enforcement to apprehend and deport criminal illegal aliens.
  • The CLEAR Act includes provisions to authorize state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws, share detailed immigration information and provide grants for enforcing immigration laws, constructing detention facilities and training law enforcement.

Republican legislators in the House have introduced a bill that would reestablish the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

MPP, originally implemented in 2019 by President Donald Trump through executive order during his first term, required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their U.S. immigration cases were processed. However, former President Joe Biden dismantled the policy in 2021 on his second day in office.

On Jan. 16, a few days before the inauguration of Trump, Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), introduced the Make the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) Mandatory Act in the House. The MPP Mandatory Act seeks to mandate the reinstatement of the MPP. Roger argued that the policy is essential for restoring law and order at the border.

"Biden's first action upon taking office four years ago was to reverse President Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy," Williams said. "The consequences have proven deadly. My bill lays the groundwork to restore law and order and secure our nation by federally mandating that those awaiting a court date do so from their country of origin. We are a land of laws; it's time we act like it and put the safety of Americans first." (Related: More refugees are choosing to remain in Mexico with its booming economy rather than try to enter the U.S.)

The Biden administration's rollback of MPP and other enforcement measures has coincided with record-breaking numbers of migrants crossing the border, straining resources and prompting calls for stricter policies.

Blackburn reintroduces CLEAR Act to boost deportations of criminal aliens

The Senate, meanwhile, held a hearing to discuss the reinstatement of the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act.

That same day, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reintroduced CLEAR, a bill designed to strengthen the collaboration between state, local and federal law enforcement agencies to apprehend and deport criminal illegal aliens.

Its key provisions include authorizing state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws, penalizing states or localities that prohibit such cooperation by withholding specific federal funds; requiring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to share detailed immigration information, including data on individuals with final removal orders, overstays or revoked visas; and providing grants to states and localities for enforcing immigration laws, constructing detention facilities and training law enforcement.

"[Former] President Biden's lax border policies have allowed dangerous criminals to remain in the United States, jeopardizing the safety of innocent Americans," Blackburn said. "The CLEAR Act will ensure state and local law enforcement have the tools needed to protect our communities."

These bills are expected to face stiff opposition from Democrats who advocate for more lenient immigration policies. However, Blackburn remains optimistic about advancing these measures, calling for bipartisan support to address what she deems a national crisis. "These bills are about protecting Americans and restoring the rule of law. The time for action is now," Blackburn said.
