President Joe Biden of the United States has expressed disagreement with the idea of sending illegal migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua back home from the U.S. southern border, saying it is not rational.
President Joe Biden in his briefing at the ongoing UNGA in New York, clarified U.S., Mexico relations, saying: “There are three countries.
“There are fewer and fewer immigrants coming from Central America than from Mexico. It’s a totally different circumstance.”
He made reference to the administration of former President Donald Trump.
Biden maintained: “What’s on my watch now is Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, and the ability to send them back to those states is not rational.”
He said that he is “working with Mexico and other countries” to stop the flow of immigrants from those nations.
National Daily gathered that U.S. Customs and Border Protection between January and September 2022, registered over 2 million illegal immigrants at the southern border, unlike the 1.7 million in the entire 2021, and below half a million the previous year.
National Daily also gathered that of the about 158,000 illegal immigrants that crossed at least once in August, over 55,000 were from Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, and about 57,000 were from Mexico or the Northern Triangle countries.
It was gathered that about 6.8 million Venezuelans out of the 28 million population have fled their country since an economic crisis started in 2014, to adjacent nations in Latin America and the Caribbean, including more than 2.4 million who are in neighboring Colombia.
