VOA常速英语2021--拜登"推倒"特朗普边境墙（在线收听）

This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Marissa Melton. U.S. President Joe Biden signed executive orders Tuesday to continue dismantling former President Donald Trump's restrictive immigration policies. During the signing, Biden said "I'm not making new law. I'm eliminating bad policy." Biden's immigration plans include an attempt to reunite families that were separated at the U.S.-Mexican border. In the first hours of his presidency two weeks ago, Biden acted to halt construction of Trump's $16 billion wall along the border with Mexican and sent a far-reaching immigration bill to Congress. U.S. lawmakers have been stalemated between liberals looking to ease the path to U.S. citizenship and conservatives seeking to stem unauthorized immigration. Biden's immediate focus is on the 3,100-kilometer southern border with Mexico, where Mr. Trump tried to keep thousands of migrants from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala from entering the United States. Trump led repair and expansion of a border wall and imposed tough detention and deportation policies for those who made it across the desolate border terrain and into the United States.
