The Biden administration’s reaction to the current border situation

Currently, there is a gigantic controversy among the American population due to a substantial increase in illegal border crossings, mainly of unaccompanied immigrant minors. There are many reasons why there is a flood of immigrants arriving at the US borders.

Let’s see some of them:

• The Central American territory has felt the impact of several natural disasters in recent months, which affected thousands of families and increased migration to the US.
• Lack of employment and economic stability forces thousands of people to seek new opportunities in the US.
• The Biden administration has a welcoming view on immigration compared to the Trump administration. Therefore, thousands of immigrants, especially young people, see a door of hope to migrate to the US now.
• The global Coronavirus pandemic increased the unemployment rate in Central America, worsening a pre-existing economic crisis.

Now that President Joe Biden plans to reform the entire immigration system, his administration needs to demonstrate to the American public that its policies will not spark an immigration crisis both at the borders and within the country. Thus, the Biden administration is trying to resolve and handle the current border situation, house and protect unaccompanied minors, and implement strategies to curb irregular immigration from Central America.

To effectively address the surge of immigrant minors arriving at the US borders unaccompanied, the Biden administration ordered HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) to reopen its facilities to pre-pandemic levels to offer better conditions to immigrant children.

DHS sends FEMA to the borders to assist immigrant minors

On March 13, 2021, as another strategy to improve current conditions at the US borders, the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) announced that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) will be at the borders to assist unaccompanied immigrant minors who are transferred by border forces to HHS facilities, as specified by law.

FEMA usually provides its services in emergency situations such as natural disasters, and the fact that the Biden administration uses this agency to supervise the situation at the borders shows that it is aware of the repercussions it could generate if it is not controlled as soon as possible.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated, “Our goal is to ensure that unaccompanied children are transferred to HHS as quickly as possible, consistent with legal requirements and in the best interest of the children.” Therefore, FEMA’s work is extremely essential in reducing the impact of irregular immigration and ensuring that the border situation does not interfere with Biden’s immigration plans.
