White House outlines 'hard-nosed approach' to tackling root causes of migration
CNN
The Biden administration is outlining its "hard-nosed approach" for tackling root causes of migration in Central America, but nearly two months after Vice President Kamala Harris made a trip to the region, its plan is short on new details.
Senior administration officials on Wednesday broadly outlined the pillars of the Biden administration's plan, including addressing economic insecurity and inequality, combating corruption, promoting respect for human rights, countering and preventing violence, and tackling sexual, gender-based and domestic violence. "For this strategy to be successful, we will have to undertake sustained effort, which is both hard work over time, but also a very hard-nosed approach to having an impact on the ground for the people of the region who are suffering so badly," an official said, conceding that it will be a long-term effort.More Related News
