Anita Dunn, one of President Biden's highest-ranking White House aides, said on Thursday that congressional critics of the administration's strategy to deal with the high levels of unauthorized arrivals along the U.S.-Mexico border should focus on reforming the outdated U.S. immigration system.
Dunn noted the administration was acting unilaterally to"manage the border problems," citing the deployment ofto the U.S.-Mexico border to provide operational support to Border Patrol agents, the establishment of migrant processing centers in Colombia and Guatemala and efforts to increase the number of beds at migrant detention centers.
The Biden administration has said that recently announced measures, including an increase in deportation flights, a restriction on asylum eligibility and expanded legal migration programs, will help the U.S. manage migrant arrivals post-Title 42 and discourage migrants from crossing into the U.S. without authorization.
On Thursday, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he planned to team up with independent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to introducethat, if enacted, would allow border agents to continue expelling migrants without the public health order underpinning the Title 42 expulsions. Without sufficient Democratic support, however, the measure would face steep odds in the Democratic-led Senate.
