Do Biden’s MPP Decisions Contradict His Promises?
The Biden administration’s immigration obstacles
The strategies Biden has implemented regarding the restoration of the MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) could further affect asylum seekers’ processes.
Despite the fact that President Biden has stated on multiple occasions his disagreement regarding the reimplementation of the MPP policy, to several critics, his most recent decisions appear to go against his intention to disable the measure.

The Biden administration’s rejection of the MPP
One of President Biden’s focuses is to modify the policies formulated by former President Trump, which substantially restricted immigration in the US.
Among these measures that the Biden administration has rejected is the MPP, which limits the entry of asylum seekers into the US, allowing border authorities to detain them and take them to shelters in Mexico, where they must wait until the resolution of their cases, which usually takes months.

Actions to stop the MPP
Since taking office, Biden has attempted to end the MPP twice, stating that it goes against the nation’s values and affects the most vulnerable immigrant communities.
However, according to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Biden administration has not met the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) criteria for rescinding the MPP.
In the face of the Court of Appeals’ response, President Biden has not only kept the MPP in place, but has taken additional steps, including:
- Expanding the border points authorized to process asylum seekers under the MPP policy.
- Expanding the measure for immigrants from the Western Hemisphere (non-Spanish speaking).
Several critics state that these decisions do not benefit asylum seekers. On the contrary, these measures further restrict the alternatives available to migrants conditioned by the MPP policy.

Other measures that could benefit asylees
Despite these seemingly contradictory decisions, mechanisms to expedite the processing of political asylum applications are also being implemented simultaneously.
Aside from that, the Supreme Court’s response to a recent request by Biden to evaluate the Court of Appeals ruling, which opens the possibility of overturning the measure, is still pending.
