Senator Rand Paul vowed this week that as the new leader of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee he will reinstate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.
“I chose to chair this Committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role,” Paul said in a prepared statement.
He added, “This Committee’s mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself.”
“Our first hearing will examine reinstating the successful Remain in Mexico policy from the first Trump Administration,” the senator further urged.
The policy, officially known as Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), was introduced by the Trump administration in December 2018 and mandated that asylum seekers at the southern border wait in Mexico while their claims were processed.
