The president of United StatesJoe Biden works more actively in the negotiations taking place in the country's Congress to approve reforms to theimmigration policy.
Biden has shown a willingness to make “significant concessions on the [US-Mexico] border” because he hopes the changes, demanded by the Republican faction of the Senate, will be approved in favor ofmoney for Washington's allies who are in military conflict: UkraineIt isIsrael, according to an analysis ofAP.
“The White House is expected to become more involved in talks this week as the impasse over changes to border policy has deepened and remaining funding for Ukraine has declined,” the US agency said.
Biden's willingness to make concessions to obtain the funds he needs to support his allies in the war is equated with the Republicans' interest in stopping theentry of migrants to US soil.
“Republicans say the record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border pose a security threat becauseauthorities cannot adequately screen all immigrants and that those who enter the United States are depleting the country's resources", he pointedAP.
Meanwhile, he added that the representatives of this partisan faction explain their blockade because it is difficult to justify sending money to foreign countries when the home border is in crisis.
The evidence regarding this situation indicates that treatment at the border must be urgent. Only on December 5th did thehistorical record for a single day with more than 12,000 immigrants in 24 hours.
“This includes more than 10,200 apprehensions of illegal immigrants by the Border Patrol, among the highest daily totals ever recorded by BP [Border Patrol],” that federal agency explained to the journalist fromFox News Bill Melugin, who posted the information on hiscount of.
In October, the US reiterated that irregular immigrants will not be able to request asylum at the border with Mexico without having a prior appointment at theapplicationCBP One, designed for use on mobile phones.
Immigration advocates in the United States tried, with legal recourse, to prohibit officials from rejecting asylum seekers at border crossings with Mexico, but a federal judge denied the proposal.
The large volume of applications prevents the process in charge of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (USCIS) from being able to process them without delays, since about 1,200 cases are reviewed daily, while between 10,000 and 12,000 applications are submitted.
In the case of Cubans,more than 200,000 migrants from the island entered the US through its land borders in the concluded fiscal year 2023 (FY2023).
The Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detailed in its year-end report that from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023, 200,287 Cubans requested political refuge in United States territory.
Last October, the month in which fiscal year 2024 began,more than 18,000 Cubans entered that country for its land and sea borders, the highest figure since December 2022.
According tofigures revealed in mid-November by CBP, a total of 18,083 Cubans arrived by sea and land in the country, indicating that the migration crisis on the Caribbean island continues unstoppable.
Bysouthern border (Mexico) 12,495 entered and for thenorthern border (Canada), 28. The rest of the migrants, about 5,000, arrived by sea through theFlorida Straits by the Miami sector (4,408) and the Tampa sector (591).
