In her first trip to the US-Mexico border as Vice President, Kamala Harris says the Biden administration has made progress tackling a spike in migration.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection say a surge in migration from Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua saw more than 227,000 migrants stopped at the border with Mexico last month.
Vice President Kamala Harris is emphasizing the need to restore hope for residents of struggling Central American nations to help address the increase in migration to the US.
It could have something to do with migration after the Black Death in the mid 14th century, which some estimates suggest killed 30 to 40% of the English population.
The European Union has outlined a ten-point plan to tackle the migration crisis in the Mediterranean in response to the latest tragedy at sea that has seen hundreds of people die.
But unfortunately, there are those who find it more advantageous to demonize migrants and politicize refugee crises than to make serious plans to address global migration in a safe, orderly and dignified way.
