Biden denies plans for mass deportations to Mexico in an exclusive interview with Noticias Telemundo

President Joe Biden denied that he was considering mass deportations of non-Mexican citizens to Mexico in an exclusive interview with Telemundo News presenter Julio Vaqueiro this Thursday from Tampa, Florida. In a report published Wednesday, The Washington Post newspaper claimed that the Biden Administration is negotiating an agreement with Mexico that would allow US authorities to carry out large-scale deportations of citizens of other countries across the border for the first time, citing "officials familiar with the discussions." The president now rejects those claims. —Julio Vaqueiro: Let me ask you about the report in The Washington Post that your Administration has been negotiating to massively deport non-Mexican immigrants to Mexico. Now, the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has denied these claims. But have you been having this conversation, sir? Joe Biden: No. "So that report is completely wrong?" What you just said is completely wrong. Yeah. President Joe Biden in an exclusive interview with Julio Vaqueiro from Noticias Telemundo. Marta Planells - Noticias Telemundo —So what is the policy that your Administration is going to implement after Title 42 is lifted? —Well, the policy we had was, in fact… First, we activated that parole policy for those five: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba. And immigration – the number of people coming in – has been reduced by more than 90%, because there is a regular way to do it now. And what we're trying to do is make sure we ask Congress to give us more border security, number one. More agents, number two. Number three, more sophisticated machinery. For example, we have these X-ray machines that are basically mobile, that can X-ray anything. Well, we need about 54 of those. We have 15. We should pay for this to happen and for us to detect fentanyl coming into the country and human trafficking. So there's a lot we can do. —To be clear, you are not considering and would not consider mass deporting non-Mexican immigrants to Mexico. “I'm saying we haven't done that. —But would you consider it in the future once Title 42 is lifted? “I don't think we have to do that, we don't have to consider that. Vaqueiro and Biden talk after the interview this Thursday in Tampa, Florida.Marta Planells, Noticias Telemundo An uncertain future after Title 42 The United States has returned more than 1.4 million migrants to Mexico with the Title 42 policy, which allows them to be expelled before they arrive to request asylum with the argument of health protection in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the citizens of Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua had not been subject to Title 42 in part because both their home countries and Mexico refuse to take them back. [The end of the national emergency for COVID-19 may mean the abrupt termination of Title 42 at the border] For the president, this is a successful policy that has reduced the illegal crossings of citizens of those countries by exactly 97%, but defenders of immigrants and asylum seekers insist that this measure affects the most vulnerable who have no way to do the paperwork in their countries of origin and who are already defenseless at the border. Reports that the Biden Administration would be negotiating mass deportations of non-Mexicans to Mexico—which the president now denies—have raised concern and are unprecedented. The Government asks the Supreme Court to dismiss the Republican lawsuit in favor of Title 42 Feb 9, 202300:23 "You have to do more" In his recent State of the Union address, Biden referred to the immigration issue and the humanitarian crisis at the border for just a minute: he asked Congress to approve a plan that grants "a path to citizenship for dreamers and workers with temporary status." such as agricultural and other essential employees. For many, both Republicans and Democrats, this is not enough: "I think he lacked a lot. He has to do more," reacted the Democratic congresswoman for California, Norma Torres. "We need a status not only for dreamers, but for all people who work and pay their taxes, who can come out of the dark." [Biden spoke about immigration for only a minute: "He has to do more," Latinos demand] Those who also reproach Biden for his lack of action are the most affected. His optimistic tone in Tuesday's speech regarding the challenges at the border contrasts with the reality that thousands of migrants stranded in Mexico experience daily as a result of its immigration policies. "We were really waiting for him to say more in favor of us or to realize the obvious problem we have, and to give us hope about the problems presented by the application that is supposedly helping us through," he said in interview with Telemundo News a Venezuelan migrant who is waiting from Mexico for his asylum process in the United States.
