Deep dives
Biden recreates Trump's border policies
After two years in office and criticism from human rights groups, President Biden is implementing and even expanding Trump-era policies at the US-Mexico border. The Title 42 policy, which requires asylum-seekers to apply in Mexico, remains in place and has been expanded to include additional countries. Biden's visit to the border was seen as a response to criticism, but failed to address the humanitarian concerns raised by advocacy groups. The backlog in the immigration system remains a significant issue, and the lack of comprehensive immigration reform perpetuates the problem of illegal border crossings.
