With immigration already a big problem at the border, some are worried that the Biden Administration's new plan, which sends migrants further into the country while they await official immigration proceedings, could be problematic.
"It's something that the U.S. has been doing for decades and it comes down to the details. The devil is in the details," said Niels Frenzen, with the University of Southern California's Gould Immigration Clinic.
The new proposal is expected to begin in the next several weeks in Los Angeles.
"Los Angeles need not panic," said Andrew Selee, who is with the Migration Policy Institute. "These are the same numbers of people that were headed to Los Angeles and other communities anyway."
