A top official at President Joe Biden’s State Department admitted to Congress that requiring border crossers to first seek asylum in Mexico rather than the United States would drastically cut illegal immigration.on October 25, Sen. John Kennedy questioned various officials of Biden’s agencies about the administration’s refusal to impose a “Safe Third Country Agreement” similar to the deal the U.S. has with Canada.

“Why don’t you implement a Safe Third Country policy? It says, under asylum … you have to seek asylum in the first safe country,” Kennedy said: So if you come from Venezuela or Nicaragua or another Central American country, you have to seek asylum in the first safe country? Why don’t you do that? And thenensures that border crossers arriving in the United States from Canada must first seek asylum in Canada before doing so in the United States. A nearly identical policy at the southern border would provide that non-Mexican border crossers first seek asylum in Mexico before attempting to do so in the U.S.

Joseph Salazar, director for Central American Affairs for the State Department, told Kennedy that a Safe Third Country Agreement would in fact dramatically cut illegal immigration by more than half.“ Safe Third Country policy … would eliminate 5.6 million people, boom, done, coming into our country illegally. Wouldn’t it?” Kennedy asked, to which Salazar responded, “It would, sir,” before suggesting that the State Department is carrying out policies to help the border issue.
