“I’ve acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom and know more than the vast majority of people,” President Biden said. “I’m more experienced than anybody who has ever run for the office. And I think I’ve proven myself to be honorable as well as effective.”
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden defended his decision to send 1,500 troops to the southern U.S. border ahead of what is expected to be a historic migrant surge as Title 42 Covid restrictions expire on May 11.
The newly dispatched troops are “there to free up the border agents that need to be on the border,” Biden said. “And we’re having another thousand people coming in; they are asylum judges, to make judgments to move things along.” The deployments come as the number of attempted crossings is set to swell when the use of Title 42 comes to an end next week. The pandemic-era policy has allowed the Biden administration to expel people from the country rapidly under a health rule that was implemented by Donald Trump during the coronavirus emergency.
The president also called for a path to citizenship for young immigrants who came to the country illegally as children under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and who could one-day face deportation. U.S. companies have argued that ending DACA would hurt the economy.
