The White House asked this Thursday the Congress of USA that “act” and approve the reform proposed by the president, Joe Bidenfor “modernize the system” migratory which he considers “dismantled” by his predecessor, donald trump.

This was expressed at a press conference by the White House spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierrewhile the Government prepares to lift Title 42, a policy used until now to expel migrants who cross the border irregularly and that a judge has ordered to annul.

We need Congress to act. It is important that they give us the resources we have requested for security and border managementsaid Jean-Pierre.

The Press Secretary recalled that from thethe “day one” Biden sent to Congress an immigration reform proposal to “to protect” to the so-called “dreamers”, undocumented migrants who came to the United States as children, and to “modernize the system” of asylum that was “dismantled” by the previous Administration.

Despite the fact that this reform was not approved, Jean-Pierre vindicated the government’s efforts to deal with the migration crisis and recalled that the country has the highest number of security agents on the border, approximately 23,000.

A federal judge ordered Title 42 to be lifted by December 21, established in 2020 by the Donald Trump Administration and also used by the Biden Government to expressly expel migrants under the pretext of the pandemic.

The Biden government has warned migrants not to try to cross the border with Mexico irregularly because they will be expelled anyway despite the lifting of Title 42.

Jean-Pierre said that next week the White House will share more details of action following that uprising.
