President Biden recently reiterated his commitment to America's history of immigration at a campaign event, while also criticizing Japan and India for being xenophobic and not welcoming immigrants. This stance could strain relations with these countries, which the administration has been working to strengthen. The President's comments highlight his attempt to strike a balance on immigration, as he faces pressure from both political parties regarding the surge of migrants at the southern border. Despite proposing immigration reforms, his policies have become more stringent, prompting concerns from immigration advocates. The administration, however, maintains that the President values immigration's economic contributions to the U.S. and believes in its importance to the nation as a whole.
