A Senate panel voted Thursday to approve a resolution in support of the “Remain in Mexico” immigration policy, after a two-hour hearing about the border enforcement approach implemented in the first Trump administration.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8-6 along party lines to approve the measure on the policy, which requires asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border to stay outside of the United States as their claims are processed.
Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., in his first hearing and markup leading the panel this Congress, condemned the Biden administration for reversing the immigration policies of the Trump administration.
