Biden's Border Plan to Curb Migration Amid Lifting of Restrictions

The Biden administration has announced measures to prevent illegal migration across the US-Mexico border, including opening processing centers outside the US for people fleeing violence and poverty to apply to fly in legally and settle in the US, Spain, or Canada. The administration also plans to swiftly screen migrants seeking asylum at the border itself, quickly deport those deemed as not being qualified, and penalizing people who cross illegally into the US or illegally through another country on their way to the US border. However, it is unclear whether the measures will do much to slow the tide of migrants fleeing countries marred by political and economic strife.
