A surge of illegal crossings at the southern border and the rapid rise of the Delta variant have complicated President Biden’s plans as he looks to overhaul immigration policy and muster support in Congress
rapid rise of the Delta variant
have complicated President Biden’s plans as he looks to overhaul immigration policy and muster support in Congress. The administration delayed winding down public-health restrictions at the border as Covid-19 cases rose. Mr. Biden signaled support for a plan from Democrats in Congress to attach to theira path to citizenship for Dreamers—people who came to the U.S. as children and have lived in the country illegally—and millions of other immigrants in a politically tricky maneuver.
“At this point, anything the Biden administration wants to do on immigration is going to have to address the border in some way, shape or form,” said Cris Ramón, an independent immigration consultant who works for groups including the George W. Bush Institute. “Given where things are at the border, I don’t think he has much wiggle room to address other issues in the same way he had planned.”
Mr. Biden has attempted to walk a middle path, at once portraying himself as the opposite of Donald Trump on immigration policy while at least temporarily embracing some of his predecessor’s policies at the southern border. That approach has angered progressives in Mr. Biden’s own party, who say he hasn’t enacted the more-humane immigration system he has promised, as well as Republicans, who say his softer rhetoric on immigration has prompted the surge at the border.
