El Departamento de Estado y el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional anuncian amplias medidas adicionales para gestionar humanamente la frontera por medio de la disuasión, la aplicación de la ley y la diplomacia

El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y el Departamento de Estado se centran en soluciones y tienen un plan sólido para gestionar humanamente la frontera a través de la disuasión, la aplicación de la ley y la diplomacia. Con el apoyo del Departamento de Defensa y de múltiples países del Hemisferio Occidental, el DHS y el Departamento de Estado están implementando dicho plan dentro de las limitaciones de un sistema de inmigración descompuesto que el Congreso ha fracasado repetidamente en arreglar, incluso al no actuar sobre la propuesta de reforma migratoria integral del presidente Biden, la legislación bipartidista para proteger a los soñadores (Dreamers) y a los trabajadores agrícolas, o las repetidas solicitudes de recursos adicionales.
