The Biden administration plans to create a new legal Immigration pathway for Ecuadorians in an effort to discourage them from trekking to the U.S.-Mexico border. The program, set to be announced on Wednesday, will allow eligible Ecuadorians to fly to the U.S. and apply for temporary work permits if their U.S.-based relatives have sponsored them for an immigrant visa. This is part of the administration's strategy to reduce illegal border crossings by offering expedited pathways for legal entry. Ecuadorians have been crossing the border in record numbers, with nearly 99,000 apprehended in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2023.
