Biden’s New Migration Policy
Budrigannews.com – President Joe Biden announced on Thursday, in an effort to take control of migration, that the United States will swiftly expel Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Haitian migrants who are caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The United States will use restrictions imposed during the pandemic.
Biden stated that he will simultaneously allow up to 30,000 individuals from those three nations, in addition to Venezuela, to enter the nation via air each month.
He stated, “This new procedure is orderly, safe, and humane.” He stated that the following is his message to potential migrants without a sponsor from the United States: Do not simply appear at the border.”
The strategy is a part of a larger effort to stop a record number of people from crossing the border and deal with a political and humanitarian problem that has plagued the president since he took office in January 2021.
Biden stated that although “these actions alone are not going to fix our entire immigration system,” they may “help a good deal.”
He stated that he had submitted a comprehensive immigration plan to Congress, but Republicans would not approve it or any additional funding for new asylum judges or officers.
He stated, “We don’t have enough immigration judges to decide on the claims.”
When Biden goes to Mexico City on January 10 for a North American Leaders Summit with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, immigration is likely to be a big topic of conversation.
The new policy would “continue to deliver consequences for those who attempt to enter the United States illegally,” according to a senior official in the Biden administration.
The official stated to reporters, “The legal pathways that we’re announcing today are generous, but at the same time there are serious consequences for circumventing them.”
Biden used his speech to demand that Congress provide the necessary resources and that Republicans stop preventing him from implementing his proposals for immigration reform and border measures.
Sunday’s trip to El Paso, Texas, the Democratic president’s first to the southwestern border with Mexico since taking office.
According to a senior administration official, Biden will speak about border enforcement operations and meet with local officials while in El Paso.
Tens of thousands of migrants from Mexico have been crossing the border into El Paso, a Democratic stronghold that has a long history of welcoming immigrants.
According to a fact sheet provided by the White House, the plan that was made public on Thursday stipulates that Mexico will take in up to 30,000 displaced people from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela each month. According to data provided by the United States government, border officials encountered 82,000 migrants from those nations at the border with Mexico in November.
A senior official stated that migrants who are unable to return to Mexico will increasingly be subjected to a rapid deportation procedure known as “expedited removal.”
The Biden administration planned to implement the new restrictions, according to Reuters last week.
Democrats and migrants’ rights groups have criticized Biden for his continued expulsions, saying that they go against his 2020 campaign promise of a more humane immigration system and prevent migrants from exercising their right to apply for asylum, putting them at risk of kidnapping and assault in Mexico.
A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court at the end of December mandated that Title 42’s pandemic-era restrictions remain in place for what could be months as a legal battle progresses, prompting the policy change.
