President Joe Biden's new advisor for migration is a foreign-born advocate of open borders, a classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse.
The National Pulse named this new advisor as Marcela Escobari, currently assistant administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The international development specialist born in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia is unlikely to advance or support any measures to seriously stem the flow of migrants into the U.S., according to the outlet.
Escobari's stint at USAID was her second, as she had previously served in the same capacity under former President Barack Obama from May 2016 to January 2017. Biden then nominated her in 2021 for the same posting, with the Senate confirming her appointment in December of that year. Escobari assumed the position in January 2022, and has been there since.
But two insider sources familiar with the matter told Axios that Biden brought in Escobari to be part of the National Security Council (NSC). According to the outlet, the USAID official will serve as the NSC's coordinator for the Los Angeles Declaration, a 2022 pledge among 21 governments in the Americas to work together on migration
