The White House denied that it was planning to do that. However,  it may very well have been brought up by someone as one possible approach. That's probably why it got leaked...
If I'm not mistaken,  Obama deported more migrants than Bush did. The whole damn system needs an overhaul, but Dem or Rep, there are going to be returns of people who aren't supposed to be here.
Dems have the added burden that when they are actually following the rules for removal, they get called soft on immigration by Reps. And, immigration policies DO affect swing voters. It's why the Biden administration self sabotaged ending Title 42. 
The administration wants to stem the inflow for political reasons without seeming to harsh...for political reasons.
“But he should be in DC fixing this country!” -Republicans >

The harder Biden panders to Republicans,  the louder they'll scream about "open borders". >

Yup

Republican Greg Abbott, who has spent Texas state funds in recent months to bus migrants to Washington, D.C., greeted the President at the bottom of the stairs and then handed him a letter saying his visit was “two years late,” and that the “chaos” enveloping the border was his fault for failing to enforce immigration laws.

And then we get this

Biden spent several hours in El Paso in his first visit to the southern border as president... [the] brief visit appeared largely focused on enforcement issues and speaking with border enforcement personnel. Reporters on the ground did not see any migrants at the respite center during the president’s visit there...
Asked to explain the thinking behind having Biden visit this specific center and ultimately not meeting or interacting with any migrants there, a senior administration official told CNN, “There just weren’t any at the center when he arrived. Completely coincidental. They haven’t had any today.” 

e; Expanded the quoted section a bit for some more context >

What does it matter they were not on the motorcade route, and how the hell would the reporters know who was a migrant or not??  Weird logic there. >

White House staff confirmed that no migrants were allowed to meet Biden in the next paragraph

Asked to explain the thinking behind having Biden visit this specific center and ultimately not meeting or interacting with any migrants there, a senior administration official told CNN, “There just weren’t any at the center when he arrived. Completely coincidental. They haven’t had any today.” >

I'm talking about the motorcade comment specifically.  How does a reporter know if people are migrants or not driving past them on a road. >

Fair enough, I guess that's why the article just said reporters didn't see them, not that they weren't there at all, but whether or not they were doesn't really matter like you said. What matters is that Biden won't even look at the people he's trying to deny asylum to. >

He's tried 1000x to help people seek asylum.  Your complaint rests with the SC, which has stopped him. >

The Supreme Court temporarily kept Trump's policies in place, Biden's been trying to make them permanent

The Biden administration announced additional border-related measures on Thursday, including a proposed regulation that would disqualify migrants from asylum if they crossed the U.S. border illegally after failing to ask for protection in a third country, like Mexico. If enacted, the proposal would allow U.S. border officials to rapidly deport migrants subject to the restriction, even after Title 42 is lifted. >

Well, you certainly tried to pretend that was something it wasn't.  The article says the wh expanded asylum claims up to 30000 per month from particular war torn countries, and convinced Mexico to do the same with countries they had excluded from their own asylum system.  Try again.  No, Biden is not keeping in place emergency measures surrounding covid beyond what the sc is mandating. >

Biden's continuation of Trump era policies regarding asylum seekers should be condemned. The fact that he was looking to Gitmo for displaced Haiti asylum seekers shouldn't be taken lightly. The fact that ICE falls under his direct purview yet continue to use the concentration camps is unforgivable
