'He's going to help': Biden faces mounting pressure as asylum seekers eye immigration laws

With new Immigration Bill dispatched to Congress last month to reverse former President Trump’s harshest border policies, American President Joe Biden is w facing mounting pressure as those stranded South of border are eying his policies, hoping, he “wants to help migrants.” Waiting to claim asylum, hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants, thrown out by 45th President Donald Trump under his 'Remain in Mexico' policy, are waiting to enter United States as y look up to Biden’s “more humane” approach.

While his ‘asylum processing’ is under review following three immigration-related executive orders that he signed on Feb.2, re’s increased confusion at US-Mexico border with asylum seekers, believing, that re’s w an “opportunity” to come to US. This, according to several on-ground reporters, prompted US Customs and Border Protection to instruct a wave of migrants to contact immigration courts. 

“It is a moral failing and a national shame when a far and his baby daughter drown seeking our shores. When children are locked away in overcrowded detention centers and government seeks to keep m re indefinitely,” Joe Biden, n contender of Trump, told Americans during his election campaign.

Biden yet to give a 'clear instructions'

With a focus to undo Trump’s alleged ‘draconian’ immigration policies and controversial practice of child separation at border, Biden said: ‘It’s wrong, and it stops when I am elected president.’ Less than a month since he assumed Presidency, Biden reversed many of former President’s policies, including entering US back to UNHRC, WHO, and Paris Agreement, and removing ban on Muslim-majority countries, but his administration is yet to give clear instructions on entry of immigrants to provide m immediate relief. 

“Biden hasn’t said how or when it will act and is trying to discour people from coming in meantime,” Associated Press reported.

Earlier, at a presser, Biden’s White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that “vast majority” of migrants were turned away at US sourn border, adding that Joe Biden’s reversal of Donald Trump’s immigration policies would take time in full implementation. Her remarks came after Mexican President made remarks about US immigration policy to regularize situation of migrants, warning his own citizens t to try to cross border, and remain vigilant about traffickers.

“People think that w doors are open, that President Biden is going to immediately regularize all migrants, that is t true,” Mexican President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, told a press briefing hurling cautions. Some Homeland Security officials, familiar with Biden administration functioning told broadcasters that sitting US president will eventually snub former President’s disputed ‘zero tolerance’ policy. In meantime, Biden administration is yet to lift barriers to asylum-seekers and continues to discour migrants from coming to country.
