After four years of Trump's enforcement-focused policies, the Biden administration is focused on "changing to a more humane and efficient system," Jacobson said.

Sponsor Message "The absolute challenge this administration is facing is whether there is a way to mitigate the numbers of people who will seek to enter the U.S. through the southern border while humanely processing people and not simply excluding them or otherwise making the process overly draconian," Fresco said.
