The Biden administration tries to control the border situation

When Democratic President Joe Biden took office in late January 2021, his administration had big plans and goals related to immigration. In fact, immigration has always been a pillar and priority of his political campaign, even long before the presidential elections, which took place in November 2020.

However, many of Biden’s immigration projects have been overshadowed, delayed or left behind due to a border situation that is putting his administration’s plans at risk. The US has faced, mainly during the first half of 2021, a rather alarming surge of illegal border crossings. Border apprehension rates have been the highest in 15 and 20 years in April and May respectively, which has naturally caught the attention of the American public.

Therefore, the Biden administration is facing an unprecedented crossroads because, on the one hand, it plans to promote the first comprehensive immigration reform in decades and expand most immigration processes, but, on the other hand, it has received countless criticisms due to the current border situation, especially by opposition groups and certain Republican members of Congress.

Currently, Biden and his team are trying to reduce the number of border arrests, streamline immigration processes in the US to reduce the backlog of pending cases, and stabilize the situation at the borders to move forward with their immigration plans.

Vice President Harris is in charge of the current border situation

When the surge of illegal crossings began to draw the attention of the national news media and the American population in general, President Biden ordered Vice President Kamala Harris to handle the border situation and address mass irregular migration directly from its root causes.

Vice President Harris faces a gigantic challenge that could possibly take years to resolve unless the Biden administration succeeds in getting bipartisan support in Congress to pass comprehensive immigration overhaul. This is because, apart from local policies, the root causes of irregular migration are intrinsically related to conditions inherent in certain countries and territories, which force thousands of people to seek new opportunities or international protection in North America, especially in the US.

VP Harris will travel to Central America to discuss mass irregular migration

Since she received the order from President Biden, Harris has already spoken with several leaders of Central American territory about mass irregular migration and how certain international cooperation strategies can help reduce border crossings.

Harris has also come under fire for not being present at the borders. However, for the first time since Biden took office, Vice President Harris plans to travel to Mexico and Guatemala next week (June 6-11) to discuss mass migration in the region and create alliances to address the situation effectively and at continental level. Adding to that, Harris will also discuss with local leaders about other important issues such as social insecurity, famine, corruption and weather conditions.
