What a craven fucking coward. The effort is to shift responsibility so he won’t take hits from the right in an election year.

“The #Biden administration is planning to refer some migrants in Latin America for resettlement in #Greece and #Italy as part of another effort to discourage people in the region from traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border, two people familiar with the government's plans told CBS #News.”

U.S. planning to refer some migrants for resettlement in Greece and Italy under Biden initiative

The initiative would involve Greece and Italy welcoming migrants processed at immigration offices the U.S. set up last year in four Latin American countries.

Every time I hear someone go on about "border security" I'm going to post this video of me pushing open a "gate" cut by cartels in the border fence; a fence that cost billions of dollars and is easily defeated by cheap cordless cutting tools.

There are two ways to have a secure border: place groups of soldiers in fortified bunkers every 100' along the *entire length of the fence* 24/7 (no, don't do this), or by helping to stabilize the economic and security situations in the countries people are arriving from while also having a humane and easy to navigate immigration policy.

Many of the people coming here in hopes of asylum are arriving from countries with a history of U.S. support for dictators (e.g. Honduras, Nicaragua) or as direct or indirect climate refugees. Given that the U.S. is the second largest greenhouse gas emitter (and, I believe, the largest per capita), we legitimately owe these people safe harbor.
