SAN DIEGO (AP) – President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day announcements on immigration are far-reaching. A raft of executive orders undoes many of his predecessor’s hallmark initiatives, such as halting work on a border wall with Mexico and lifting a travel ban from several predominantly Muslim countries. Proposed legislation would give a path to citizenship to anyone in the United States before Jan. 1, 2021 – an estimated 11 million people. The bill faces an enormous test in Congress. The Homeland Security Department announced a 100-day deportation moratorium and halt to returning asylum-seekers to Mexico to wait for hearings in U.S. immigration court.
