[Breitbart] The Department of Homeland Security disseminated a recently drafted mass migration plan which includes a focus on a “Whole of Western Hemisphere” approach as a solution to the worsening border crisis. Part of the plan includes efforts to improve living conditions outside the United States as the country contends with the hottest inflation since 1982.The agency’s outreach plan includes a focus on working with countries throughout the hemisphere on issues such as job creation, credit access, improved law enforcement cooperation, and stimulating industry. The document shifts blame for the immigration crisis away from pull factors within the United States.
The draft goals include:
- Promote appropriate policies on migration, promote savings and investment opportunities to create jobs, and develop sustainable means of livelihood for the poorest and most vulnerable sectors.
- Recognize remittances as an important source of capital in many countries of the hemisphere.
- Strengthen social inclusion of migrants.
- Increasing access to credit and micro-credit
- Improving security, among other factors, so that the impulse to migrate is reduced.
- Stimulating industrial and technology sectors.
- Ensure appropriate legal protections, defense of human rights, and safe and healthy labor conditions for migrants.
- Reduce their vulnerable conditions at work.
The document, provided by a senior level Department of Homeland Security source, lists several factors abroad which are reportedly contributing to the increase in irregular migration to the United States. Among them, COVID-19, extreme weather, earthquakes, and severe economic decline. All, according to the document, have been worsened by climate change.
The document offers little hope of increased enforcement along the southwest border. The CDC Title 42 emergency authority that allows for swift expulsion of some migrants from the United States is predicted to cause an additional surge of migrants in short order. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the program will soon end. On Friday, the CDC announced the end of the program effective May 23 and will no longer be used as a removal mechanism for migrants who enter the United States illegally.
