Biden on Immigration:
Biden notified Congress in February that he would increase the number of refugees allowed to enter the country from 15,000 to 62,500 in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, upping it to 125,000 for the following year. But he never signed the presidential determination that would actually raise the cap, effectively keeping the cap created by former President Donald Trump. Such paperwork is usually signed shortly after a policy announcement.
Biden's decision to not lift the cap highlights the pressure on his administration to address the surge of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children, arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking asylum. Republicans have criticized Biden for the situation, painting his administration as weak on border security.

With the VP being absent from her duties as "Immigration Czar" and this - Not really sure what's going on.
Before you pounce, Bill & I had a conversation during the Obama administration about illegal/immigration. Both being the descendants of grandparents who came through Ellis Island, we discussed the need for a similar type path/structure down there. Not sure why this is eluding everyone, but my personal view is it would be a good middle ground for both sides and beneficial to the country.
