Biden announces new immigration enforcement measures at southern border
President Biden announces new immigration enforcement measures at the southern border, including expanding Title 42 expulsions, increasing border security resources, and creating new pathways for legal migration. The administration also announces a parole program for citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, allowing up to 30,000 people per month from these countries to enter the U.S. legally if they have eligible sponsors. The actions come as record numbers of migrants arrive at the southern border and as Biden faces criticism from both parties over immigration policy.
