BBC: Juscelino Colares, the Schott-van den Eynden Professor of Law, discussed the milestone of 2 million migrants detained at the US-Mexico border over the past year, a record figure that could create political difficulties for the Biden administration. "(People) have seen the demands that uncontrolled immigration has brought to their localities,” he said. “And they, and those migrants who have become legal, tend to hold the view that immigration should be taken seriously.”
