布林肯前往墨西哥,参议院恢复边界谈判

2023-12-28 10:08 -ABC  -  351048

知情人士证实,周三,参议员之间就潜在的边境安全一揽子计划重新开始两党谈判。

ABC新闻被告知,由于参议院假期休会,对话将远程举行,预计要到1月8日才能回来。

在上周离开之前,参议院的主要谈判代表表示,他们正在就一项潜在的协议取得“进展”,并将在休会期间继续讨论。

领导谈判的民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲(Chris Murphy)、共和党参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德(James Lankford)和亚利桑那州独立参议员克里斯滕·西内马(Kyrsten Sinema)几周来一直在聚集,试图找到一种改变移民和边境安全的方法。

关于潜在边境安全一揽子计划的细节仍然很少,但讨论的主要领域包括:加强对抵达美墨边境的移民的庇护协议,以更多的人员和高科技系统加强边境执法,并首先阻止移民前往美国。

参议员们表示,他们正在努力确保有可信的庇护申请的移民可以安全地申请,但官员们也可以很快拒绝那些不符合条件的人。参议员们说,目标是建立一个更加有序、高效的庇护系统,减少边境混乱。

共和党人坚持认为,两党在移民和边境安全政策上的妥协对于推进对乌克兰、以色列和台湾的额外资助是必要的。

美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯(Antony Johnson)和国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约尔卡斯(Alejandro Mayorkas)周三前往墨西哥城,与该国总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔(andrés Manuel lópez obra dor)——更为人熟知的名字是AMLO——和墨西哥总统进行了闭门会晤,目前两国都在努力解决非正常移民激增带来的紧迫问题。这两名美国内阁成员定于周三晚些时候返回华盛顿。

一位熟悉美国此次访问目标的消息人士早些时候说,官员们希望找到办法说服墨西哥采取更多措施加强其南部边境的移民执法,投入更多资源运营其合法过境点(特别是最近几周暂时关闭的过境点),重新启动本月早些时候暂停的国内驱逐和转移,并讨论旨在鼓励移民留在墨西哥而不是进入美国的激励措施。

AMLO公开表示,他希望美国向墨西哥和包括委内瑞拉和古巴在内的更广泛地区提供更多援助。

美国总统乔·拜登此前表示,他愿意在移民政策上做出“重大妥协”,以确保乌克兰在与俄罗斯的战争中获得援助。

紧急会议召开之际,一支估计有6000名移民的车队正在前往美国边境。

Senate talks on border resume as Blinken heads to Mexico

Bipartisan negotiations resume Wednesday between senators on a potential border security package, a source familiar confirms.

ABC News is told the conversations will be held remotely as the Senate is out on recess for the holiday and is not expected to return until Jan. 8.

Before leaving town last week, principal Senate negotiators signaled they were making "progress" on a potential deal and that they would continue discussing it during the recess.

Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy, GOP Sen. James Lankford and Arizona independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema -- the trio leading the talks -- had been huddling for weeks to try to find a way forward on changes to immigration and border security.

Details on what could be in a potential border security package are still slim, but the main areas of discussion include: toughening asylum protocols for migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, bolstering border enforcement with more personnel and high-tech systems and deterring migrants from making the journey to the US in the first place.

The senators say they are trying to ensure that migrants who have a credible claim to asylum can safely apply, but that officials can also quickly turn away those who don’t qualify. The goal, senators have said, is to create a more orderly, efficient asylum system that reduces chaos at the border.

Republicans have insisted that a bipartisan compromise on immigration and border security policy is necessary to advance additional funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas traveled to Mexico City on Wednesday to meet with the country’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador -- better known as AMLO -- and their Mexican counterparts behind closed doors, as both countries struggle to address urgent issues posed by surging irregular migration. The two U.S. Cabinet members are scheduled to return to Washington later on Wednesday.

A source familiar with U.S.’ goals for the visit said earlier that the officials were hoping to find ways to convince Mexico to do more to ramp up immigration enforcement at its own southern border, commit more resources to operating its side of legal crossings (especially those that have been temporarily closed in recent weeks), restart deportations and transfers within the country that were suspended earlier in the month, and discuss incentives aimed at encouraging migrants to stay in Mexico rather than cross into the U.S.

AMLO has publicly said he wants more U.S. aid flow to Mexico and the broader region, including to Venezuela and Cuba.

President Joe Biden has previously said he is willing to make “significant compromises” on immigration policy to secure an aid deal for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

The urgent meeting comes as a caravan of an estimated 6,000 migrants makes its way to the U.S. border.
