State of Emergency Declared at the US-Mexico Border

U.S. President Joe Biden announced a state of emergency at the border with Mexico and stated the intention to deport "millions" of illegal immigrants. In doing so, he did not specify timelines or other details of the new migration strategy.

This decision comes in the context of an increasing flow of migrants across the border from Central American countries. Biden emphasized that the new strategy is aimed at maintaining order and control at the border.

"We will enforce the laws of our country and protect our borders," the president said. These actions, according to him, are intended to ensure safety and order in the country.

However, the specific mechanisms for implementing the new policy remain unclear, and critics accuse the president's administration of a lack of clarity and consistency in immigration policy.
