A task force to bring together immigrant families separated by the Trump administration on the border with Mexico: it is one of the objectives of the three executive orders that Joe Biden will sign today to scrape his predecessor's migration policies, which caused "chaos, cruelty and confusion. ".
The White House announces it.
The separation of hundreds of children from their immigrant parents had been one of the most controversial decisions of the Trump era, sparking a wave of international outrage.
Another decree instead points to a three-point plan for a "safe, legal and orderly immigration to the Central American region": addressing the causes of the phenomenon (instability, violence, economic insecurity), supporting the ability of other countries to provide protection and opportunities closer to home to refugees and asylum seekers, and guaranteeing the latter access to registered offices in the US by fully restoring the asylum system.
The third decree aims to promote the integration and inclusion of immigrants, including with a task force on 'new Americans' and facilitating the naturalization process, as well as revoking the Trump directive that obliges sponsor families to return the benefits to the government. public received from relatives.
The new measures follow those of Day One: reinforcement of the protection of dreamers, abolition of the ban against Muslim majority countries, an end to the wall with Mexico, a moratorium on expulsions for 100 days and the sending of a law to reform the immigration, which foresees a citizenship path in eight years.
