What’s the plan?

In addition to «cracking down» on human trafficking by those who «prey on desperate people,» the plan seeks to invest in possible solutions to the region’s problems, which would offer stability and better options for a “safe and orderly migration”.

During his presidential campaign, Biden promised immigrants a path that would allow them to remain in the United States legally but, more than a year after taking office in the White House, he has not achieved significant results. Instead, he has been met with fierce resistance from Republicans, who openly criticize the Democratic president’s policies.
