Biden is making efforts to p[rocess the 25,000 migrants that were forced to wait in Mexico under the Trump administration’s “Remain-in-Mexico” policy.
More from Fox News:
Biden has promised to accept more refugees into the country during his time in office and implement more “humane” policies, such as a proposal to pay for the transportation and health care costs of migrant families who were separated at the border under the Trump administration.
Congressional Democrats in February introduced Biden-backed immigration legislation that includes a path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants who are already residing in the U.S. illegally.
It also includes expanded distribution of automatic green cards to immigrants with Temporary Protected Status as well as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and a plan to give $4 billion to Central American countries in an effort to target the “root causes” for migration into the U.S.
