President Joe Biden will continue to use COVID-19 restrictions to expel border-crossing migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti, while allowing up to 30,000 people from those countries to enter the US by air on a monthly basis.
“We can’t stop people from making the trip,” Biden said in a speech from the White House. “But we can require them to come here in an orderly manner under American law.”
Reuters reported ahead of Biden’s immigration speech on Thursday about the outline of the White House plan, which penalizes those who arrive on foot at the US-Mexico border, but also allows asylum seekers to enter the country.
“The legal avenues we are announcing today are generous, but at the same time there are serious consequences if they are circumvented,” a senior administration official told Reuters.
Biden confirmed that he will make a border stopover in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, as he must be in Mexico for the ‘three amigos’ summit on Monday and Tuesday.
President Joe Biden announced a plan on Thursday that will allow immigrants to enter the US legally by air, hoping to reduce the number of illegal border crossings.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he hoped to see “peace and security” if he visits the southern border next week, as he plans to give a speech on immigration Thursday from the White House.
Biden pushed Republicans, who assumed a majority in the House on Tuesday, though they still don’t have a speaker, to work with him to pass new immigration laws.
“We need more resources to secure the border, once again the extreme Republicans have said no,” Biden complained. “But if extremist Republicans continue to demagogy on this issue…I have only one option left: act on my own.”
Biden had sparked a trip to the border Wednesday as he traveled to and from Ohio and Kentucky to promote his bipartisan infrastructure bill.
“That is my intention, we are working on the details now,” he said on the tarmac as he was leaving the Cincinnati area when asked if a border trip would take place before his meetings with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the Canadian Prime Minister Justin. Trudeau.
Landing at the White House, he said he hoped to see “peace and security” on the southern border.
‘No, I’m going to see what’s going on. I’m going to give a speech tomorrow about border security and you’ll hear more about that tomorrow,’ she said.
