a year nonsense being made in the letter from the white house to the department of state saying that the cap is now live 226-2500 now in the letter to president states that the original figure 15000 that he intended to stick to that set by donald trump that was a interim measure and he says he was waiting for further consultation with the relevant departments now that cap is raised to $62.00 and a half 1000 but another is added to that the president says it's very unlikely that this cap will be reached in the last few months of this fiscal year which ends in october he says there are massive star shortages within the department of homeland security in particular which would make it very difficult to process that amount of refugees in that time still a lot of that being said the president in the next fiscal year 2122 he intends to raise that cap to more than 120000 so clearly president biden having

made this u. turn is now doubling down in the face of massive protests from members of his party he's now doubling down in terms of raising those numbers even further to more than 120000 in 2122 mike and there's been some good news for some of the family separated at the us mexico border on the presidency can you talk us through that. indeed yes well the department of homeland security has announced that it will be reuniting for families who are separated out of the trumpet ministration back in 2017 the homeland secretary. is saying that he doesn't want to release many details because of privacy concerns but one of the mothers is from honduras 'd the other is from mexico they will be

you reunited within the next 2 days now this is wonderful news for the individuals concerned it's part of a project by a department within homeland security a family reunification department now they've been looking at how to reunite these families not only to identify those who've been separated but also to work out ways in which they can be reunited in the most efficient and most humane way bearing in current the trauma that they suffered during that separation but all of that being said this is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem that same office in the homeland security estimates that there are some 1000 families that are still separated that is another 1000 families that need to be identified properly and reunited effectively so although the news about these 4 families is very good indeed for the individuals concerned there still vast numbers to be dealt with
