Joe Biden’s Immigration Policies Would Flood U.S. With Migrants

The Mexican foreign minister said if Joe Biden were to win the election, this would lead to an increase in illegal cross-border immigration.

On Tuesday, Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico does not support Biden’s open borders immigration policies, asserting they would not solve the problem and would actually encourage migrants to make the perilous journey through Mexico to the U.S. border.

In recent weeks, a caravan of migrants have begun the journey from Honduras. They are justifying their decision to come to the U.S. by citing pandemic economic effects combined with destruction from hurricanes, which battered South American countries last month.

Jose Gonzalez, a coordinator with a Guatemalan Christian organization that works with migrants, said he expects the number of these caravans would multiply if Biden were to win the presidency as changes in government in the U.S. encourage migrants to test the waters of possibly shifting immigration policies. He said he expects the current caravan to get larger as it travels through more countries.
