HR 283 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A resolution to urge the President of the United States to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the Remain in Mexico program, for processing migrants, including asylum-seekers, attempting to enter the United States from Mexico.

This House resolution urges the President to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, commonly known as the Remain in Mexico program, which was previously used to process migrants from Mexico. The bill asks the administration to return asylum seekers who do not meet immediate entry requirements to Mexico while their immigration cases are processed in U.S. courts. Supporters argue that this policy helps reduce the number of people crossing the southern border and eases the burden on immigration authorities. The resolution does not change any laws directly but serves as a formal request to the executive branch to restore a policy that ended in 2022.
