They can help solve the problem and come together to fix the broken system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House this week unveiled a raft of measures aimed at getting the number of migrants crossing into the U.S. under control, while also using Biden\u2019s upcoming travel to show they are taking the matter seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The administration said Thursday that individuals from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti would be blocked from <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lying for asylum if they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization. Officials also said they would propose a rule prohibiting migrants from applying for asylum in the U.S. if they did not first seek protection in a country they traveled through en route to the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>And border officials will continue to enforce Title 42, a Trump-era policy that has been used for nearly three years to quickly expel migrants under the guise of it being a public health measure. Immigration advocates have criticized Biden\u2019s continued use of the policy as inhumane, viewing it as a migration tool disguised as a public health measure. The Supreme Court is set to review its legality in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Biden himself will visit the border on Sunday during a trip to El Paso. He will meet with front-line officials to hear more about the migrant situation, as well as what more can be done to block the flow of fentanyl and other drugs across the border.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The president will travel from Texas to Mexico for a two-day summit with North American leaders, where migration concerns are among the main topics expected to be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been one of the biggest attacks from Republicans. \u2018You haven\u2019t even been to the border, you haven\u2019t seen what\u2019s happened,\u2019\u201d former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on MSNBC. \u201cHe\u2019s vocalized and said it\u2019s a problem, it\u2019s outdated, broken, we need to fix it. That\u2019s why he put forward a plan on his first day. This allows him to say, \u2018I have been to the border, I put forward a plan. What\u2019s in your cupboard, what are you putting forward?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have for months called on Biden to visit the border, amplifying images of groups of migrants crossing into the U.S. and highlighting border patrol data that showed nearly 234,000 migrants were apprehended along the southern border in November 2022, the highest number ever recorded for the month of November.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The GOP-controlled House is in a state of disarray as Republicans struggle to elect a Speaker, which has in turn delayed the swearing-in of members and formation of committees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But once the dust settles in the House, lawmakers have indicated immigration will be a key focus of their oversight powers. Some in the party have even floated the possibility of impeaching Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas over the surge in migrants, which has strained resources in communities at the border and around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Even some Democratic leaders, such as New York City Mayor Eric Adams, have complained at times about the flow of migrants into their cities and states, arguing they do not have the resources to care for the scores of individuals arriving there after crossing into the U.S.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The at-times bipartisan criticism of Biden\u2019s border policies underscores that it is a potential political vulnerability that the eventual 2024 Republican presidential nominee may seek to exploit. Some potential opponents of Biden\u2019s got a head start on the matter this week.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Trump, the only declared Republican in the 2024 field, released a video on Thursday outlining his plan to \u201cwage war\u201d on drug cartels in Mexico and crack down on the flow of drugs across the border. The plan includes proposals to send military assets to go after cartel leaders and ask Congress to pass legislation that would mandate the death penalty for drug smugglers and human traffickers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s open border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation,\u201d Trump said in the recorded statement. \u201cWhen I am president, it will be the policy of the United States to take down the cartels, just as we took down ISIS and the ISIS caliphate and just as, unlike the situation we\u2019re in today, we had a very strong border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who has emerged as the most formidable potential challenger to Trump for the party\u2019s presidential nomination, used his inauguration address this week to attack Biden without naming him over his immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government \u201chas recklessly facilitated open borders, making a mockery of the rule of law, allowing massive amounts of narcotics to infest our states, importing criminal aliens, and greenlighting the flow of millions of illegal aliens into our country, burdening communities and taxpayers throughout the land,\u201d DeSantis said in prepared remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor made headlines last year when he arranged to fly migrants who had crossed the southern border to Martha\u2019s Vineyard, a liberal sanctuary jurisdiction that has said it will not report those in the country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden\u2019s actions this week might insulate him from some criticism that he hasn\u2019t addressed the border, he has acknowledged it\u2019s an imperfect solution that won\u2019t satisfy everyone. Already, numerous humanitarian groups have criticized Biden\u2019s actions as making it more difficult for those fleeing violence to find safe harbor and accused him of doubling down on Trump-era policies.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n (D-N.M.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) issued a joint statement on Friday expressing their disappointment in the new Biden policies, arguing \u201cit will increase border crossings over time and further enrich human smuggling networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Immigration has been among the most vexing issues for Congress for the last several years, with Democrats and Republicans unable to come to an agreement on how to both fund border security and deal with the flow of migrants into the country.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Despite that, the White House has repeatedly deferred to Congress when confronted with the number of crossings at the southern border, arguing it falls to lawmakers to overhaul a broken system.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, speaking to reporters Thursday, reiterated that immigration policy will be a long-term issue, not a short-term fix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll sit down with anyone who, in good faith, wants to fix our broken immigration system. And it\u2019s hard. It\u2019s hard on the best of circumstances,\u201d Biden said. \u201cBut if the most extreme Republicans continue to demagogue this issue and reject solutions, I\u2019m left with only one choice: to act on my own, do as much as I can on my own to try to change the atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
