WASHINGTON - The United States plans to reverse the Trump administration’s “draconian” immigration approach while working on policies addressing the causes of migration, President Joe Biden told his Mexican counterpart, the White House said on Saturday.

Priorities include “reversing the previous administration’s draconian immigration policies,” the White House said. Mexico has a major role to play in Biden’s plans for immigration reform. Earlier this month, Mexico helped coordinate efforts in Central America to contain a large caravan of migrants heading for the United States.

Nevertheless, Biden’s inauguration comes at a time of simmering tension over a now-dropped U.S. investigation into former Mexican defense minister Salvador Cienfuegos.

Honestly if you think the immigration policy under Trump was “draconian” you should see the policies in Iran, North Korea and China👀🤷‍♂️🙄

Well the causes of migration are usually lack of jobs/lack of pay, housing, persecution, etc. So we’re going to invest our money in other countries? Or are we going to make ours so bad they don’t even want to come?🤔🤷‍♂️🙄

That certainly wasn't an intelligent decision

So, how about those kids in cages?

The cause of migration? Please be honest and call out why they would all come here tomorrow if allowed to

America is done. Adios.

He has already violated his oath of office.

Robinette cares NOTHING for any American Citizen .. not even those that voted for him

DRUGS EASY MONEY. BAIDEN DON’T CAER ABOUT AMERICAN CHILDREN CRIME FIRST!

Why would Mexico want easier means for its own citizens to leave?

Don´t make it easy for a corrupt government.

POTUS Loving thy neighbor

🌎is changing & US has to change with it to continue 2 be a dominant force 4 good in it. Trump/GOP approach was to go back in time to solve today’s problems. It never works. Y US has remained great; it’s forward looking & able 2 successfully take on the issues of 2day & tomorrow

Since when is having a well protected border, and a far more lax immigration system than the entire rest of the world 'Darconian'...? Even Mexico's immigration laws are very strict.

Everything to the origin

Joe loves illegal immigrants....which get more attention and money than any USA citizen

This will be an unpopular take, but I think I’d rather these people come to Texas than the west coast people. At least they work. And contrary to popular belief, they don’t collect handouts. They actually work hard.

Whats happens

SS200 please Mr President me and my children are struggling on my ssa and ssi check and we 3 never received our 600STIMULUS WHY HAVENT WE RECEIVED OUR STIMULUS MONEY OWED TO US AND WE ARE BARELY GETTING BY PLEASE HELP US MINE WAS DIRECT DEPOSIT AND NEVER RECEIVED IT

'causes of migration'? Other than USA has been and is the best country for opportunity for citizens and immigrants alike.

I suspect the majority of the illegal aliens are streaming from Guatemala and its refugees via Mexico. I actually have friends that are legal citizens from Mexico and they would rather go back due to the cost of living and political climate.

The cause is that Mexico is a failed state.

Biden should listen to Cesar Chavez instead of his garbage values.

Seeking sane solutions -- that is so radical!

Hey JoeBiden: Causes of migration = people don't want to live in shithole countries so they seek the american dream. Trump's approach was about protecting USA and their citizens. Yours obviously not.

The cause? Economics. So lots more US taxpayer money to Central America, I guess?

Wow... it is amazing. All of you on here can’t possibly be this brainwashed.

Just open lah..

Tear down the wall. 4 years later, build the wall. So on and so forth.

How about this - keep building the wall. It's been keeping out the immigrants from the southern border. It's a no brainer, so you don't have to put a thought into it, Joe

So basically.... anyone is allowed into the USA, no questions asked... until Joe Biden solves ALL of the world's problems, including 'grass is always greener' syndrome?

Maybe he’ll give them $3000 per kid so they can stay in their country?

El desempleo 😞

Guy thinks like a real leader of a super power nation.

Clown show

Look on the bright side. There's more Christians coming to Texas from Mexico than California. Just need to ensure quality education centre's are available, and the flow is not exponential.

Fantastic.😊

If white supremacists had brains this would give them brain aneurysms.

Well the groupies and teenyboppers are back in the WHITEHOUSE Joe invited all the Hollywood cool kids to his party. Obama 2.0. Hope you're all happy.

Oh, The irony...

Offering illegal immigrants free health care IS a cause of migration.

Finally they pretend to wake up to the reality that the causes of attempts at misguided geographical solutions to problems are there, not here.

Can we work on the draconian concentration camps in china?

So he's going to make USA worse so immigrants don't want to come here? Seems to be the plan.

Idiot

Biden to meet with Mexican president amid migration issuesPres. Biden is planning a virtual meeting with Mexican Pres. Andrés Manuel López Obrador — a chance for the pair to talk more fully about migration, confronting the coronavirus and cooperating on economic and national security issues. It isn’t migration it is the entrance of people into a country illegally. Mexico jails border jumpers like all nations should! Don't give him any vaccine if he can't support all the people at the border. Mr JoeBiden, your colleague lopezobrador_ will ask you for vaccines for our country. Please don't give him anything. Send them to Mexico through foundations and private companies because Lopez is a very bad person who acts like Nicolas Maduro, he uses vaccines politically.

Biden tells Mexican president he will end Trump's 'draconian' immigration policiesPresident Biden on Friday told Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador that he will reverse the Trump administration’s “draconian” immigration policies -- in a week in which the new U.S. president has signed a flurry of immigration orders. Democrats live in a fantasy land when it comes to immigration. Oh well, more votes for them so I guess it’s worth it to them. Uh... you mean like every other country in the world has Disaster. Trump was right about the issue of porous borders. Every country should be able to identify who enters their country. It assists in making sure Americans find jobs, social security goes to the right people and the funding taxes are paid. Also helps reduce crime.

Mexico's president has said he intends during the meeting to propose to Biden a new Bracero-style immigrant labor program that could bring 600,000 to 800,000 Mexican and Central American immigrants a year to work legally in the United States. A senior Biden administration official declined to say whether the U.S. president would back or oppose the proposal, saying only that both countries agree on the need to expand legal pathways for migration. Please don't say Mexico will pay for the wall.
