Large groups of migrants have rushed the southern border to get into the United States before the restart of the "Remain in Mexico" program.

The surge began at two sections of the southern border shortly after the Biden administration had announced last Thursday that it will restart the Trump-era border program that requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for U.S. immigration hearings.

The Department of Homeland Security set Monday for the restart of the program.

The groups of migrants, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, crossed the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona, in hopes of getting in before the restart of the program, the Examiner said.

"Over 3,500 encountered since Friday!" said Jason Owens, the Del Rio Border Patrol chief in an Instagram post on Tuesday. "Undocumented migrants continue to enter illegally throughout our area of responsibility…and in large numbers! In one event, nearly 200 crossed together and were arrested in Eagle Pass this weekend. The numbers we have in custody continue to increase."

And the Examiner noted four border agents confirmed that some migrants told agents they wanted to get into the U.S. before the restart of the program.

Sparked by the surge, agents in Del Rio say mandatory overtime has been imposed for agents. In addition, the border patrol has been forced to close its Eagle Pass South highway checkpoint so it could assign agents to aid those people in custody, two agents said, according to the Examiner.

One agent in Del Rio said the 242-mile section of the border was "unpatrolled" due to agents taking in migrants who surrender.

"We’re probably the worst we’ve ever been since the 15,000 Haitians showed up in Del Rio," the second agent said.

President Joe Biden had ended the policy after his inauguration in January, Reuters reported. However, a federal judge ordered the restart since the administration did not follow proper procedures in ending the program.

The U.S. said it had to wait for Mexico's agreement before the policy could start again.

"The United States accepted all the conditions that we set out," said one Mexican official. Open / Comment

2021-12-09 23:45:29 President Joe Biden said this week the U.S. would take a more direct role in diplomacy to address Vladimir Putin's concerns over Ukraine and Europe, part of a broader effort to dissuade the Russian leader from a destabilizing invasion of Ukraine. But any negotiations to peacefully resolve Europe’s tangled East-West rivalries will present minefields for the U.S. president.

2021-12-09 17:40:00 As diplomacy stutters, US and Israel to discuss military drills for Iran scenario -U.S. official

The scheduled U.S. talks with visiting Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz follow an Oct. 25 briefing by Pentagon leaders to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on the full set of military options available to ensure that Iran would not be able to produce a nuclear weapon, the official said on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons, saying it wants to master nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

The U.S.-Israeli preparations, which have not been previously reported, underscore Western concern about difficult nuclear talks with Iran that President Joe Biden had hoped would revive a 2015 nuclear deal abandoned by his predecessor, Donald Trump.

But U.S. and European officials have voiced dismay after talks last week at sweeping demands by Iran's new, hardline government, heightening suspicions in the West that Iran is playing for time while advancing its nuclear program.

The U.S. official declined to offer details on the potential military exercises.

"We're in this pickle because Iran's nuclear program is advancing to a point beyond which it has any conventional rationale," the official said, while still voicing hope for discussions. Open / Comment

2021-12-03 18:48:37 U.S. job growth slows; unemployment rate plunges to 4.2%

U.S. employment growth slowed considerably in November amid job losses at retailers and in local government education, but the unemployment rate plunged to a 21-month low of 4.2%, suggesting the labor market was rapidly tightening.

The four-tenths-of-a-percentage-point decline in the jobless rate from October reported by the Labor Department in its closely watched employment report on Friday occurred even as nearly 600,000 people entered the labor force.

“Don’t be fooled by the measly payroll jobs gain this month because the economy’s engines are actually in overdrive as shown by the plunge in joblessness,” said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York.
The survey of businesses showed nonfarm payrolls increased by 210,000 jobs last month. Data for October was revised up to show employment rising by 546,000 jobs instead of 531,000 as previously reported. That left employment 3.9 million jobs below its peak in February 2020.“While that still indicates that the economy is about 10 months away from closing the total payrolls employment gap, the unemployment rate is closing at a relatively rapid rate to the Federal Reserve’s estimate of full unemployment,” said Brian Bethune, professor of practice at Boston College.
