Biden, Latin American leaders reach migration pact

President Joe Biden and other Western Hemisphere leaders on Friday announced what is being billed as a roadmap for countries to host large numbers of migrants and refugees.

A set of principles announced on the summit's final day includes legal pathways to enter countries; aid to communities most affected by migration, humane border management and coordinated emergency responses.

The United States has been the most popular destination for asylum-seekers since 2017, posing a challenge that has stumped Biden and his immediate predecessors, Donald Trump and Barack Obama.
