Growing Controversy in Congress over Immigration
Wave of Immigrants at the US Borders
Since President Biden took office, the number of illegal crossings and the surge of immigrants at the US borders has grown exponentially, sparking a gigantic social controversy over whether Biden’s immigration proposals are increasing irregular immigration or whether his administration needs to implement stricter policies to enforce immigration law at the borders.
Adding to that, Biden’s immigration bill, which aims to reform the entire immigration system, and other proposals are already under congressional review, increasing the controversy surrounding the immigration sector.
One of the challenges that the Biden administration is currently facing is the wave of unaccompanied immigrant minors arriving at the US borders. Official figures reveal that almost 3,500 minors are currently in the custody of the CBP (Customs and Border Protection), which is a federal entity in charge of protecting the borders and preventing illicit activities such as irregular immigration.

Tension in Congress due to current border situation
There is a growing debate within Congress due to opinions of different political parties. On the one hand, most members of the Republican political party are using the current border situation to enact their anti-immigration message. On the other hand, most members of the Democratic political party are trying to support the Biden administration to comply with its immigration plan and gradually restructure current policies to offer better conditions to the most vulnerable immigrant populations.
In fact, the controversy is so great that several members of the US House of Representatives, both Republicans and Democrats, are planning to travel to the border territory to supervise the current situation.
Let’s look at some important facts:
- Recently, several senior members of the Biden administration traveled to key locations at the US borders to oversee protocols implemented by border forces and the HHS (Department of Health and Human Services), which is the entity in charge of housing unaccompanied minors after being transferred by CBP or another entity.
- A congressional Democratic delegation also plans to travel to the US borders between March and April to assess and address the increase in illegal crossings.
- About a dozen Republican members also plan to travel to Texas on Monday, March 15, to address the current situation at the borders, especially when it comes to unaccompanied immigrant minors.
The dilemma and discussion about the current situation at the borders could delay Biden’s plans to restructure the immigration system and expand alternatives available to immigrant communities.
However, if you follow legal guidelines and avoid irregular immigration, you will be able to migrate safely, without going through precarious situations and always protecting your future.
