As I listened to each of your +remarks, I reflected on how much we have accomplished since your leaders +joined President Biden on the podium in Los Angeles a little more than +two years ago.  + +We have taken key actions to disrupt the smuggling networks that exploit +vulnerable migrants through **coordinated enforcement efforts**. + +We have **expanded** lawful pathways as an alternative to the risks +inherent in irregular migration. + +And collectively, we have fostered the long-term **stabilization and +integration** of migrants. + +I will provide some details to illustrate more vividly what we have done +on each of these three pillars of the Los Angeles Declaration. + +**Enforcement** + +Together, we are using our immigration and law enforcement tools to +deter irregular migration and disrupt transnational criminal +organizations that put migrants’ lives at risk for profit. + +We are encouraged by how many countries have taken concrete actions to +increase enforcement, including by putting in place strong visa +requirements and increasing information sharing. We know this is a +challenge that can only be met if we work together. + +And we have: + +- Adopted new rules and processes to strengthen the consequences in + place at our border, including refined procedures announced by + President Biden on June 4. + + + +- Increased biometric information sharing across the region to + identify bad actors before they enter any of our borders; +- Imposed visa restrictions and financial sanctions, and prosecuted + human smugglers; + +So many of these efforts have been done in close coordination with all +of you.  + +**Lawful Pathways** + +The Biden-Harris Administration has also expanded lawful pathways to +encourage migrants to apply to come to the United States from their home +countries rather than making the dangerous journey to our border. + +That is why we launched the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, Venezuelan +parole process – with notable results. + +We are also on track to welcome the largest number of refugees in three +decades. This would not have been possible without the Safe Mobility +Initiative and our partnership with Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and +Ecuador. + +As part of today’s funding announcement, we are providing an additional +$83 million to help resettle more refugees and refer migrants to +additional pathways as well, including temporary labor opportunities in +the United States and other countries. + +**Stabilization and Integration** + +And finally, I want to join Secretary Blinken in applauding the +pioneering and generous policies that are enabling the **stabilization +and integration of** migrants. + +This is a story that I think will be told for years to come: how Latin +America rallied together in the face of the historic displacement of 8 +million people from Venezuela and rose up to become a model for the +world of how to respond to this kind of mass migration with pragmatism +and humanity. + +We applaud so many of the countries represented here for opening your +doors to displaced migrants and giving them hope for their future, +enabling them to obtain formal employment, access basic social services, +and put their kids in school. + +With today’s announcements, over half of the Los Angeles Declaration +countries have implemented migrant regularization policies, collectively +providing legal status to 4.4 million mostly Venezuelan migrants. + +The United States is proud to support these efforts. As part of today’s +$686 million funding announcement by Secretary of State Blinken, the +United States will assist partner countries as you implement +regularization programs and successfully integrate newcomers. In +addition, we will continue to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance +to help the most vulnerable Venezuelans, both inside Venezuela and +throughout the region. + +**Closing** + +For President Biden, the Los Angeles Declaration was never just a piece +of paper that each country signed; it was a call to action. + +And I am confident that with our continued commitment to the +Declaration, including the establishment of an enduring Secretariat with +Colombia as our first Country Chair, we will continue showing the world +that regional collaboration can effectively and humanely address the +migratory challenges that we face in our Hemisphere.     + +Thank you. diff --git a/statements-releases/2024-09/2024-09-25-statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-passage-of-the-continuing-resolution.md b/statements-releases/2024-09/2024-09-25-statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-passage-of-the-continuing-resolution.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..87befdbd9 --- /dev/null +++ b/statements-releases/2024-09/2024-09-25-statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-passage-of-the-continuing-resolution.md @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +--- +date: '2024-09-25' +published_time: 2024-09-25 19:37:17-04:00 +source_url: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/09/25/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-passage-of-the-continuing-resolution/ +tags: statements-releases +title: "Statement from President Joe\_Biden on Passage of the Continuing\_Resolution" +--- + +Tonight, bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress passed a +continuing resolution to keep the government open through mid-December. +I want to thank both houses of Congress—especially Senators Murray and +Collins and Representatives Cole and DeLauro—for this bipartisan +agreement and for avoiding a costly government shutdown.
