Editorial: Le Monde

  • US President Joe Biden has toughened his stance on immigration and given up asking for regularizations.
  • The draft compromise legislation includes a significant increase in border agents, an expansion in detention center capacities, and an acceleration of asylum application processes.
  • In return for these reforms, Republicans are expected to agree to a new tranche of military aid for Ukraine.
  • Biden's efforts may be thwarted by Donald Trump, who seems to prefer damaging his likely opponent rather than implementing measures that would reduce illegal immigration.
  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott has disregarded a Supreme Court ruling and continues to block access to border police, putting Texas sovereignty above federal state sovereignty.

Conclusion: Recent decisions regarding immigration reveal internal political tensions, with an increasingly severe approach and measures that do not always align the nation's interests with those of the political party.
