USA: 

United States: The Biden administration has seen unprecedented migration flows at the US-Mexico border, triggering a crisis that has turned into a political obligation for the Democratic president. Republicans attribute the full border chaos to Biden's determination to "undo what former President Donald Trump did."

According to Reuters, which cited US and Mexican officials, Joe Biden's administration is pressuring Mexico behind its back to accept more immigrants of three specific nationalities.

Additionally, the White House is attempting to remove them under the COVID-19 Health Order, also known as Title 42, for migrants entering the US from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, according to sources. In the light of increasing numbers.

Title 42, which was first used by then-President Donald Trump and allows border officials to repatriate migrants to Mexico or their home countries because of the pandemic, has been publicly pushed to be repealed by the White House. has gone.

Democrats who believe "there is no public health benefit to harming asylum seekers" have backed Biden's plan to reverse the "inhumane Trump policy." Earlier this year the Biden administration was prevented from repealing the order by a federal judge in Louisiana.

Despite Biden's "open borders mentality," as Republicans characterized by his tenacity to reverse every decision made by former President Donald Trump, some Biden officials are reportedly singing a different tune behind closed doors. Huh. According to a US official, they continue to use extended evictions as a deterrent to unauthorized border crossings.

When US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Mexico City on September 12, he raised the issue of migrants from those three countries, but according to the report, Mexico did not make any concrete commitments.

One of the cited sources referred to the effort to persuade Mexico to bear the burden as "an uphill battle".

reinstatement of accountability

Currently, Mexico accepts US repatriation of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador; In this fiscal year, an estimated 299,000 migrants from those countries have already been deported at the border.

The number of migrants returning from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela was far less at around 9,000. Most immigrants from these three states entering the US are allowed to stay to submit asylum claims.

US border agents have already detained 1.8 million migrants at the southwest border, setting a record. About a quarter of those detained were from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. This is a significant increase, compared to the 8% recorded in 2021. Most of them were allowed to pursue immigration matters within the United States.

Citing Mexican officials, Mexico is hesitant to accept citizens of Cuba, Nicaraguan and Venezuela who have been expelled from the United States because those countries are also against receiving deportation flights from Mexico.

Washington is reportedly doing everything possible to shift a significant portion of the burden of returning these arrivals, taking into account the "cold" relations it has maintained with these three countries.

According to a source inside Mexico, the country has decided to increase internal migration from its northern border to its southern border rather than succumbing to pressure from the Biden team. The action is believed to be seen as a lightening of the load on the shared border.

Additionally, Mexico has expressed US willingness to ease its economic sanctions against Venezuela. Sources claim that this could prevent exodus from Venezuela and make it easier for immigrants to find legal employment in the United States.

According to the report, Biden officials are reportedly also considering how to transfer the burden of the migrant crisis to countries other than Mexico.
According to two US officials, Panama is being considered as a potential destination for deported Venezuelans who traveled to the US via that Central American country.

Neither Mexico's foreign ministry nor representatives of the government of Panama have made any public statements regarding the report.
A spokesman for the White House National Security Council declined to comment on "diplomatic talks", despite saying that countries in the region "have begun to take collective responsibility for managing migration flows, including repatriation". "

Biden's "open border policies"

The ongoing border crisis is one of the many difficulties a democratically elected president is grappling with ahead of the November midterm elections.
Several Republican lawmakers have accused Joe Biden of stifling the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by removing several restrictive measures imposed by the late President Donald Trump to curb illegal immigration.
