	Antony Blinken on Immigration

Work to create a humane and effective immigration system

We will work to create a humane and effective immigration system. We need a diplomatic, and just plain decent, solution to the fact that people from other countries risk everything to try to make it here. We need to address the root causes that drive so many people to flee their homes. We'll work closely with other countries to help them deliver better physical security and economic opportunity so people don't feel like migrating is the only way out and up.

Terminated Trump-era Central American asylum agreement

The United States has suspended and initiated the process to terminate the Asylum Cooperative Agreements with the Governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To be clear, these actions do not mean that the U.S. border is open. While we are committed to expanding legal pathways for protection and opportunity here and in the region, the United States is a country with borders and laws that must be enforced.
