A small group of migrants greeted immediately from a huge bus that crashed into the front yard of San Ysidro, in San Diego (California). They are the first to enter the United States with active cases in the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPPs, by its seal in English), a program implemented by Donald Trump in which he deployed to Mexico with more than 71,000 asylum seekers, the Central American mayor, with his successor, Joe Biden, promising to win his first day at Casa Blanca.
With the entry of this group into the territory of the United States, the Governor of Biden commenced the dismantling of the program by which EE UU enrolled in the pilgrimage of ancient countries to women living in its territory under protection. It can benefit up to 26,000 people who have ten MPP active cases and who live in albergues, refugee camps and special cases in northern Mexico where a Jewish citizen attends asylum applications. The pandemic paralyzes these processes and puts migrants in limbo.
The reception of asylum seekers in the United States is underway this weekend, coinciding with Biden’s first month at Casa Blanca. The lawsuit is pending against the Mexican city of Tijuana (Baja California), the frontier point is expected to implement the 2019 MPP in January, and the proxies will be extended to the Texas frontier, to points such as one Matamoros (Tamaulipas) with Brownsville and Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua) with El Paso. For this, Washington implements a platform operating in coordination with the Mexican Government and the assistance of United Nations agencies focused on the attention of migrants and refugees, the ACNUR and the International Organization for Migration (OIM).
“There is an urgent need to address the vulnerable people who are in this situation”, said a United Nations official in a statement to the media in which he explained how the process works. The procedure follows that asylum seekers fill out a form online to solicit the transfer to city residents where tienen relatives or friends that the recipient and donor hope will have a citation of immigration. The beneficiaries will be summoned to the front 24 hours before the day assigned to their cross. Alli have an antigen test to detect that coronavirus is contagious. If the result is negative, it will be processed by the Frontier Patrol and released at the close of its next citation. In the event that some migrants are contagious, they will be transferred to facilities that can be repaired before crossing the front.
In the territory of the United States, migrants “will be processed expeditiously and will be mourned with us, who will have contact with their families in the cities that will continue their immigration processes”, explained Norma Pimentel, director of Catholic Cities in the Great Valley . And the accommodation of his organization in McAllen (Texas) is a preparatory to receive asylum seekers. As suggested before Trump implements the MPPs, they will come and go and help him buy his plane tickets or bus so that he can travel to other United States points, where his relatives or friends are from.
“There are many contenters who have opened a door and who have hopes that it is possible to enter the EE UU to continue their asylum process”, assures Pimentel. Religious people feel content to have been exposed to asylum seekers — flies from their families with small children — in the Matamoros migrant camp, a visit to the Lado of the Great River, during the last days, with the holidays , the temperatures have dropped by a hundred degrees Celsius. “Families are very friendly. But there is an expectation that there is an opportunity for him to be properly listened to and to suffer from it in the least in these human beings who are human beings, ”he says.
It is hoped that the asylum seekers living in this camp will be among the first to cross to the United States for their vulnerability, one of the criteria by which they will be transferred. The time that will take place in Mexico will be one of the factors that the agencies implementing the program will take into account the time to call for asylum seekers, as well as serious problems of serious health or side effects of future crimes , between other things.
“The front will be closed”
Jornada in which it begins to implement the program is living with confusion among the migrants who hope for the Mexican lad. In Tijuana, some of them are looking at the cross-border crossings in the advertisements of the authorities that the pedophile has not done, he says that in the Matamoros migrant camp the asylum seekers have to deal with the need to enter. by the Gobierno without success because the web is saturated. “The people are very confused because they do not intend to go as far as they are concerned”, says EL PAÍS Josué Cornejo, a Honduran migrant who lives in this area since July 2019 with his wife and his three children between 7 and 14 years.
United Nations agencies insist on caring for migrants and ensure that all those active in the MPPs, including those seeking asylum and tenure, are crucified to EE UU. This statement is the first with which the Governor of Biden pretends to restore the right of asylum in the country, which was recognized by Trump through a series of executive actions, administrative orders and agreements with third countries.
As a matter of fact, the frontier of the Security Council is looking for new solutions under Title 42, which Donald Trump invoked over the coronavirus pandemic. “No venge ahorita”, by Edgar Ramírez, of the Mexican Embassy in a message distributed on consular social networks. “With the end of ensuring secure, orderly and humane treatment, we will only accept migrants with active MPP cases who have followed the official process. You will not be allowed to enter the United States in any other way. The front will continue to close and we will apply our immigration laws ”.
Además, the new Gobierno insists on launching the message to Central Americans that there is no time to migrate. Although the president “has compromised on a large-scale migration reform”, this morning, Biden’s team advised in its communications. This week, Democrats in Congress will present the president’s ambitious plan by which he will legalize the 11 million documentaries that are estimated to live in the country by this year. The project requires less than the vote of ten Republican senators to be approved, a difficult objective on a topic such as immigration that polarized the country during Trump’s presidency.
More about the possibilities of this reform, for women working with migrants on the frontier, the issue of those affected by the Migrant Protection Protocols at EE UU is a good first step, but it is not enough to dismantle the migration policies of the four years of the Republican governor. “How did EE UU restore the figure of the asylum?”, Was asked by Tijuana Soraya Vázquez, spokeswoman for the governmental organization Al Otro Lado. “It simply came to our notice then. If the asylum seeker is not there, it is another thing, but the right to solicit is what he has to guarantee and it is what he says he wants to do. I tend to think that I am thinking ”.
