The Biden administration is considering a measure that would force migrant families seeking asylum to stay in Texas, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The potential measure, which would hold migrant families in Texas until asylum is either granted or denied, comes amid a surging number of migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, with 177,000 border apprehensions recorded last month. Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has bussed tens of thousands of migrants out of the state in protest of the Biden administration’s “refusal to secure the border,” into Democrat-run cities including Denver, Washington D.C., New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
“Texas’ small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden’s refusal to secure the border,” Abbott said in June.
The Biden administration’s plan would force migrant families to remain in Texas by tracking their location through GPS monitoring via devices like ankle bracelets, according to the LA Times. The migrants would then go through a screening process to determine if they qualify for asylum or are to be deported back across the border.
“DHS continuously holds policy and operational discussions on how to leverage our authorities to ensure a fair, humane, and effective immigration process that efficiently removes those without a lawful basis to stay in the country,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said to the LA Times.
It would be easier to deport migrants if the “remain in place” measure is enforced in Texas, due to the state’s proximity to the border, according to the LA Times. The measure would differ from an Obama and Trump administration-era measure that detained migrant families at the border rather than inside Texas, which the Biden administration has refused to restore.
“We have no plan to detain families. As I mentioned, we will be employing alternatives to detention, including some innovations in that regard, and we will on a case-by-case basis use enhanced alternatives to detention as warranted,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in April.
Abbott and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
