Ekaterina Blinova | President Joe Biden and his Mexican counterpart Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador pledged to use “innovative approaches” to tackle illegal immigration on January 9, according to the White House. Why did it take so long for Biden to start dealing with the US border crisis? 💬 “President Biden has had two years to try to solve this problem, and it has only gotten worse,” Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Washington DC-based Center for Immigration Studies, told Sputnik. “We can only conclude that he does not want to solve it; in fact, he does not consider it to be a serious problem at all. Allowing unprecedented numbers of illegal migrants into the United States to remain indefinitely apparently is his actual objective, no matter the consequences for the communities that are forced to accommodate the new arrivals, no matter the difficulty for those Americans and legal immigrants who must compete with the migrants for jobs and services, no matter the national security and public safety risks, and no matter the dangers to the safety of the migrants. All that matters is having more migration, legal or illegal."
