“I intend to do it,” US President Joe Biden told reporters on Wednesday, who asked him if he was considering going to the US border with Mexico, where many immigration candidates regularly arrive, AFP reported, according to Agerpres.

President Joe Biden said he will review the situation on the US-Mexico border on Thursday, adding that he wants to see “peace and security” there, Reuters reports.

Joe Biden did not give more details about the date of this visit, on Monday he is going to Mexico for a summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.

The topic of immigration is particularly sensitive for the White House, which is currently trying to implement a sustainable strategy to manage arrivals along the 3,000-kilometer border with Mexico.

The immigration policy of the Biden administration has so far largely depended on a measure introduced by former President Donald Trump that severely limits entry to the country due to health problems.

This legal device, known as Title 42, has been the subject of several legal battles. On December 27, the Supreme Court decided to leave it in force until the merits of the case are resolved in the spring.

The migration crisis on the southern border is one of the favorite topics of the Republican opposition, which accuses Joe Biden of showing blindness on the issue and regularly asks the President of the United States, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, to travel to the place.

As for them, human rights defenders criticize the current measure, which allows immediate eviction without judicial protection.

Many US states are warning against an influx of migrants due to the repeal of Title 42, in the context of which clandestine arrivals at the US-Mexico border are currently breaking historical records, with more than 200,000 people arrested in November alone.
