Biden announces major border strategy shift, expands Trump policy

LA Times  

A migrant family climbs the northern bank of the Rio Grande in December after crossing from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in their attempt to enter El Paso. The Biden administration announced a major shift to its immigration strategy Thursday, expanding the use of a Trump-era policy that gives border agents the power to quickly turn back migrants at the border while also creating new ways for people from Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti to apply for legal entry into the U.S. “Do not just show up at the border. To turn away people at the border, the Biden administration will rely on Title 42, a decades-old emergency health rule that allows border officials to immediately expel migrants without considering their asylum claims. “President Biden and his administration are now actively pursuing discredited Trump policies like Title 42 and an asylum ban in an attempt to score political points at the border,” said Sunil Varghese, policy director at the International Refugee Assistance Project. “Opening up new limited pathways for a small percentage of people does not obscure the fact that the Biden administration is illegally and immorally gutting access to humanitarian protections for the majority of people who have already fled their country seeking freedom and safety.” VIDEO | 05:24 LA Times Today: Biden announces major border strategy shift, expands Trump policy Watch L.A.
