President JoeBiden’s new border strategy ‘significantly’ deterring illegal migration: DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told hundreds of mayors gathered in Washington for the U.S. Conference of Mayors Thursday that the Biden administration’s requirement that immigrants from top-sending countries seek appointments with border officials rather than entering illegally was bearing results.
Since Biden took office two years ago, 5 million noncitizens have been encountered at the nation’s borders attempting to enter the country without authorization, most of whom came over the land border without permission, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.More than 1.5 million noncitizens were released from federal custody and allowed to remain and live in the United States to await court hearings not for years down the road.
But the victory could be short-lived given the troubles the Biden immigration initiative has faced in its rollout, and it could further complicate things for Mayorkas, who is the target of House Republicans' ire after winning a majority last November.
