Biden and the lack of transparency on Border policy
The criteria to be allowed into the U.S. are a closely held secret. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has referred only to “acute vulnerabilities” that qualify families for release in the United States to pursue asylum instead of immediate expulsion.

Officials barred nonprofit lawyers who conduct oversight from entering a Border Patrol tent where thousands of children and teenagers are detained. And federal agencies have refused or ignored dozens of requests from the media for access to detention sites. Such access was granted several times by the administration of President Donald Trump, whose restrictive immigration approach Biden vowed to reverse.

My personal take on it
Is Biden’s migrant policy so different from Trumps?
It seems from what is being said that Biden remains attached to the belief that the solution is better management methods to slow down and reverse the flow of peoples wishing to make the USA their new home.
He is not treating it as a genuine humanitarian crisis where the purpose of a border policy would facilitate and expedite the many aspiring newcomers in a national coordinate manner.
The EU for all its flaws and faults tries to initiate a quota system for every nation to end the bottle-necks at the receiving countries such as Greece and Italy and disperse the numbers through out the EU. Many xenophobic governments did sabotage that attempt. However Biden has federal powers and federal funds to ensure a more equitable distribution of migrants.
America has dealt with mass migrations in the past such as the Dustbowl era and the Black exodus from the Southern states, not to mention the influx of European migrants arriving at Ellis Island. They are far better placed to systematic allocate resources. However that is no way part of the policy which is one of deterrence through the “soft” approach rather than Trumps draconian one. But the object remains the same. The US doesn’t regard the migration of people as legitimate
Biden has so far deported more Haitians in a few weeks than the Trump administration did in a whole year, with the use of Title 42, part of the 1944 Public Health Service Act invoked a year ago by the Trump administration as grounds for summary expulsion of migrants because of the supposed health risk they posed during the Covid pandemic.
Biden wants to keep sales of armed drones to countries whose human rights records are under scrutiny in the United States and elsewhere, sources familiar with the discussion have told the Reuters.
Keeping the policy holds the door open for hundreds of millions and eventually billions of dollars in US sales to governments in Taiwan, India, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates that in the past have been prohibited from buying them.
Meanwhile
Biden administration is looking to keep US troops in Afghanistan past a May 1 deadline while exploring a deal in which the Taliban would allow a US counterterrorism force to remain as they confront their common ISIL foes

Venezuela – no change
The United States blocked Venezuela from proceeding with its dispute over Washington’s sanctions at the World Trade Organization, seizing on the issue to underscore its rejection of Nicolas Maduro as the country’s legitimate president. The U.S. action was intended to make clear that President Joe Biden and his administration would continue its hard-line stance against Maduro
