Biden Says He Has Plans to Visit the US-Mexico Border
Hundreds of teenage asylum seekers have arrived at Dallas' convention center, with more expected.
Mar. 22 - As more migrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border, President Joe Biden says he plans to visit the border to assess the situation.
Hundreds of teenage asylum seekers were brought to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas under an agreement between the federal government and the city -- and more are expected to arrive.
Now, people are working around the clock to help them figure out what happens next.
The White House occasionally struggled with how to explain its plan on how asylum seekers should be handled in general but made it clear that young, vulnerable children would not be expelled.
Biden said he planned to go to the border at some point. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last week the U.S. is expected to see the highest numbers of southwest border crossings in 20 years.
The Dallas Convention Center is just one of a couple of planned decompression centers in Texas funded by the Department of Health and Human Services to care for children. Another will be set up in Midland. source

Nearly 1,000 unaccompanied children have been held at the border for more than 10 days - after Biden REFUSES to turn away kids who arrive like Trump did
Mar. 22 - Nearly 1,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been held by border patrol agents for more than 10 days as the Biden administration scrambles to manage the growing humanitarian and political crisis at the US-Mexico border.
A total of 823 unaccompanied children were held at US-Mexico border facilities for more than 10 days, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document leaked to Axios.
Children are not supposed to be held in border patrol custody for more than three days. As of Saturday 2,226 children had been held in custody for more than five days and 823 for more than 10 days.
The number of unaccompanied migrant kids in US custody surpassed 15,000 as of Saturday as the Biden administration announced that they 'would not expel young, vulnerable children.' This is a reverse of Trump administration policy, which was to generally expel all people who tried to illegally cross the border, regardless of age. continue to read

Mar. 22 - Washington, Mar 22 (Prensa Latina) More than 21,000 US citizens have signed the support for Bridges of Love project to request President Joe Biden to lift sanctions on Cuba and put an end to the US blockade.
Cuban-American professor Carlos Lazo, one of the promoters, highlighted the scope that the request alone has, exceeding 21,000 signatures and 'we are going for more,' he said.
Anyone interested in joining this initiative to demand the end of sanctions and blockades against Cuba can do so at www.puentesdeamor.com, he called.
We have reached that number of signatures 'with great efforts', with no propaganda or support from big media, it is as if they wanted to bury the fact that people from all over the world support the construction of Bridges of Love, he said in a video on Facebook.
In addition to calling for the end of the US blockade and sanctions on Cuba, the requests in the open letter to Biden include the reopening of the United States embassy in Havana and the restoration of family reunification program, suspended by former President Donald Trump in 2017.
Carlos Lazo also spoke out for establishing 'compassionate and humane policies towards' Cuba, allowing US airlines to once again fly to the country´s provinces, thus authorizing unlimited family remittances and encouraging financial and commercial relations.
The signatories also requested US citizens´ freedom of traveling freely to Cuba and that economic investments and scientific and cultural exchanges between both nations be encouraged. source from
