Visa Backlog at State Department Hinders Biden’s Immigration Goals
According to this article on Bloomberg Law, by Marcela Bermudez and Patricia L. Gannon, Greenspoon Marder LLP
“Despite Biden’s initiatives to undo Trump administration immigration restrictions, the State Department has a backlog of over 2.6 million cases. Marcela Bermudez and Patricia L. Gannon, attorneys with Greenspoon Marder LLP, say many of these applicants are documentarily qualified but can’t seem to get through the system. Until the State Department makes changes, businesses have their hands tied for recruiting and hiring foreign talent, they say.
The Biden administration continues to balance the U.S. labor market with the growing concerns of businesses who require foreign nationals in the U.S. to work, and foreign nationals abroad to enter the U.S. with work visas. Between fixing, adjusting, and changing prior policies, however, the backlog in immigration case processing continues to grow and the visa issues at the U.S. Consulate are almost at a standstill.”

” Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Monday it rejects any effort to reimplement the controversial Trump-era policy known as “remain in Mexico” for asylum-seekers.
The policy, officially named the “Migrant Protection Protocols” (MPP), requires some asylum-seekers to be sent back to Mexico during immigration proceedings.
In December, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk halted the Biden administration’s latest attempt to end the program while a legal challenge, launched by Texas and Missouri aimed at forcing its reinstatement, is considered in court.”

“The State of the Union represents a chance for the president to address the nation on where he thinks the country stands, where it is headed and what his priorities are ahead of an expected announcement that he will officially run for reelection.
But President Biden, who turned 80 this past November, has quite the task ahead of him. Despite an unemployment rate that is the lowest since 1969, Americans continue to be in a sour mood about the direction of the country. Two-thirds say it is headed in the wrong direction, and a majority disapproves of the job Biden is doing as president.
That’s true not just on the economy and inflation, but on issues ranging from crime and guns to immigration and the war in Ukraine.”

In divided nation, Americans do agree on this: Biden should talk about economy — CBS News poll

“The state of our union is … ?
We asked people to describe it, and received some dour assessments: they picked “divided” most of all, followed by “declining” and “weak.” Few picked adjectives “strong,” or — amid tough economic ratings — “prospering.”
These aren’t just one-sided partisan points. Partisans share the sense of division and decline more than prosperity. It is in part a function of such dire views of the economy and inflation right now.
In all, it’s a tough environment for a president addressing Congress and the nation.”
