The newest wrinkle

Some nationalities escape Biden’s sweeping asylum ban because deportation flights are scarce

The policy, which took effect Wednesday, has an exception for “operational considerations,” official language acknowledging the government lacks the money and authority to deport everyone subject to the measure, especially people from countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Europe who didn’t start showing up at the border until recently.

Foremost, some countries of origin won't take deported migrants back.

So there's that.

Large migrations of people are happening all over the world. And due to climate change, wars, and probably other factors nobody's figured out yet they're not likely to end anytime soon. If ever.

It's going to take more than an "executive order" — or a wall — to sort this out. And time.
