MIAMI, United States.- The president of the United States, Joe Biden, said Tuesday that “it is not rational” to deport migrants arriving from those countries to Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, and assured that he is working with Mexico to stop the flow of these arrivals.
According to a note from the news agency EFEBiden said in statements to the press at the White House that the situation on the border is “totally different” from what it was in the previous Administration of Donald Trump (2017-2021), since “fewer migrants arrive from Central America and Mexico ”.
“Now I am attentive to Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. The possibility of send them back to those countries is not rational,” said Biden, who added: “We are working with Mexico and other countries to see if we can stop the (migratory) flow.”
Faced with rumors that Republican governors could send undocumented migrants to the state of Delaware, where Biden resides, the president limited himself to responding with a mocking tone: “Visit Delaware, it’s a beautiful state.”
Immigration has become one of the big campaign issues in November’s mid-term elections, following the decision by some Republican governors to send groups of undocumented migrants to states governed by Democrats to protest the immigration policy of Joe Biden.
Since April, the governor of Texas, Republican Greg Abbott, has regularly sent buses with migrants, most of them Venezuelan, to Washington, New York and Chicago, in response to Biden’s attempt to rescind Title 42, a health policy that allowed express deportations. of migrants at the border.
For his part, last week, the also Republican Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, joined the strategy and sent two planes with migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, an exclusive island in the state of Massachusetts, where they have houses, among others, former President Barack Obama.
