Shortly after his arrival in Mexico, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, sent a message on social networks: “Our problems at the border did not arise overnight. And they won’t be resolved overnight. But we can come together to fix this broken system. We can secure the border and fix the immigration process so that it is orderly, fair, safe, and humane,” he wrote.
