In my opinion, mass immigration is a symptom. We’re not going to solve the problem by treating the symptoms. The better long-term plan would be to build a coalition among their home and neighboring countries to try and help them figure out how to address the stability issues at home. That’s way easier said than done, and it may not even be possible, but I just don’t see the current situation as being sustainable for decades on end.
That being said, for the interim, we desperately need some major reforms with how we handle asylum seekers and immigrants in general. I don’t have enough expertise on the matter to suggest how to go about that, I just know that the current system isn’t working well at all and is actively killing people.
Good point. Mexico has stepped-up in reducing crossings, according to AP, but there could definitely be better partnership from them. Although, keeping migrants from crossing is essentially the same as detainment, but in Mexico.
The president has been weighing additional executive action since the collapse of a bipartisan border bill earlier this year. The number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border has declined for months, partly because of a stepped-up effort by Mexico. Still, immigration remains a top concern heading into the U.S. presidential election in November and Republicans are eager to hammer Biden on the issue.
The move would allow Biden, whose administration has taken smaller steps in recent weeks to discourage migration and speed up asylum processing, to say he has done all he can do to control the border numbers without help from Congress.
