Biden's Homeland Security Nominee Vows to Follow US Immigration Law

Aline Barros

   The incoming Biden administration will work "to cease funding for
   further construction" of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border,
   according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary nominee
   Alejandro Mayorkas, who told senators Tuesday that U.S. law will
   dictate whether individuals in migrant caravans are allowed to remain
   in the United States.
   Mayorkas appeared for his [1]Senate confirmation hearing one day after
   reports surfaced that Biden intends to propose an eight-year path to
   citizenship for undocumented immigrants shortly after taking office
   Wednesday, signaling an immediate focus on a topic that has both
   consumed and paralyzed Congress for decades.
