Biden tries to chart a new path at the U.S.-Mexico border
January 25, 2022
Discussion on vaccinating migrants is back on the table as the Biden administration tries to change the way the U.S. is handling migration at the southern border. Migrants being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and minors in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services were already offered vaccinations. The current proposal would apply to migrants encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border and those released in the U.S. as they await court hearings. This plan was originally proposed during the summer but is now before the White House again, yet no decision has been made according to a senior administration official. Biden administration officials are aiming to resurface plans to adjust how the U.S. handles immigration at the southern border.
