The top White House adviser on U.S.-Mexico border policy, Roberta Jacobson, said Wednesday the Biden administration is reinstating the Central American Minors program, which allows some children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to reunite with a parent or parents living in the U.S. But Jacobson declared repeatedly — in both English and Spanish — that “the border is not open.”

Roberta Jacobson: “I want to be clear: Neither in this — neither this announcement nor any of the other measures suggest that anyone, especially children and families with young children, should make the dangerous trip to try and enter the U.S. in an irregular fashion. The border is not open.”
