‘They’ve Learned Nothing’: Experts Say Biden’s Latest Immigration Proposal Will Do Little To Alleviate Border Crisis

President Joe Biden has pledged to be tough on the border. But, experts in immigration say that the proposed measures won’t solve the problem unless he enforces the laws.

Biden’s plan for deterring migrants from flooding to the border with migrants is centred around a mobile application that allows migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba to request asylum from their home country. Critics say that migrants will continue to flood the border until the Biden administration enforces federal laws that require the detention of all migrants until they appear before an immigration judge.

Customs and Border Protection logged more than half a billion in 2022. “known gotaways,” It is an increase of 3% from 2021 when there was less than 400,000 such cases.

Biden stated that any migrants crossing into the United States who do not use the new framework earlier this month will be subject to the “new.”
