Joe Biden Toughens Stance on Immigration; Stop Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans From Coming Through Mexico

President Joe Biden has announced sweeping new rules to help alleviate the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. This may be his boldest move at the border yet, saying that the United States would immediately be turning away the waves of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua who arrive at the border.

The new rules reportedly expand on the current rules put in place to stop Venezuelan migrants from arriving at the border through Mexico. That effort saw a dramatic decrease in the number of Venezuelans trying to reach the U.S.-Mexico border. This means that even if the Supreme Court ended Title 42, a rule to keep migrants out will still be in place.

According to BBC, Biden says this new plan is orderly, safe, and humane. However, this new policy seems to have experts having mixed feelings as this has been described as a carrot and stick approach, though the emphasis has been on the stick. Other experts have also voiced their concerns that this will increase the number of migrants that may be sent to unsafe or inhumane conditions in Mexico.

Pres. Joe Biden Offers Legal Path to 30,000 Migrants

This new plan is the same as the plan used for Venezuelan migrants, which was inspired by the plan for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. It is described as an "expanded legal pathway to apply to enter the U.S., where they will be allowed to live and work for up to two years."

Migrants from Haiti, Honduras, and Nicaragua, like Venezuelans, will have to get financial sponsors already in the United States and pass security vetting. They would then need a CBP One application that would allow these asylum seekers to schedule their arrival at any port of entry into the United States.

The United States will be accepting 30,000 people from these four countries every month as long as they come legally and fulfill the requirements of the new rules. The Associated Press noted that Biden had been reluctant to take a hard-line measure on immigration as he was concerned it would resemble moves done by the Trump administration, which drew criticism from human rights groups and migrant groups.

This new law could mean that approximately 360,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua could lawfully enter the United States within a year. All four nations are currently hit with political crises, from gang violence in Haiti to political repression in Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba.

Pres. Joe Biden's Message to Immigrants

In his speech announcing the new plan, Biden told migrants to "Stay where you are and apply legally. If your application is approved...you have access."

He added, "but if your application is denied or you attempt to cross into the United States unlawfully, you will not be allowed to enter."

The president also stressed, "Do not, do not just show up at the border," acknowledging that immigrants face hardships in their home countries that led them to decide to make the dangerous journey to the United States.
