Decision looms on re-opening of U.S.-Mexico border to non-essential traffic
WASHINGTON, DC The Biden administration faces the possibility of another immigration headache, as it weighs whether to more widely reopen U.S. borders in the near future, just days from the current travel restrictions expiring.

An increase in migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border became a political liability for Biden earlier this year, overwhelming border facilities and making headlines for poor conditions. Now White House working groups are evaluating whether to extend the 30-day restrictions on nonessential travel, which have been in place since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The latest restrictions, announced in June, remain in effect until July 21.

Recipients of DACA, a program created by President Barack Obama in 2012 to shield from deportation undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children, have lived in uncertainty for years as the battle over their status played out in the courts and lawmakers in Washington failed to deliver on their promise of a permanent solution.
