NEW: Claiming the Biden admin is adopting an "open borders" immigration policy is ridiculous. I went to Mexico last week with @L_Toczylowski and @GuerlineMJozef, where we met @eeerox and saw a growing number of refugees and asylum seekers unable to enter the United States.
On the ground in Tijuana, we met many Haitians who have been waiting years to enter the United States. As @Haleaziz reports, many of those who *have* crossed out of desperation face deportation back to a country where they "may face harm." buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…
I asked @SecMayorkas about the deportation of Haitians attempting to seek asylum last week. Here's what he told me.
As @camiloreports tweeted earlier this week, @PressSec says the "vast majority" of people are being turned away at the border. That's exactly what we saw.

Thanks to the whole @Morning_Joe team for featuring this report and the important conversation after. @JoeNBC @morningmika @WillieGeist @esglaude
Thanks @mitchellreports for this clarifying conversation about the absurd “open borders” rhetoric.

“Mr. Biden, however, has continued to use a Trump-era rule to rapidly turn away most migrants at the border, with the exception of unaccompanied minors.” @KannoYoungs @Nataliekitro @CatieEdmondson nytimes.com/2021/03/10/us/…
Read this thread from attorney @eeerox, who I was with in Tijuana, about who she met in the growing refugee camp there. Most of them cannot get into the U.S. under current Biden admin closed-border immigration policy.
