President Joe Biden and his administration made wide-ranging promises to the American people during the campaign, and his first few weeks in office have seen movements on immigration, environmental, and world health.

Immigration

On his first day in office, Biden promised he would produce comprehensive immigration legislation that creates a pathway to citizenship for 11 million migrants living in the U.S. illegally.

Yet, Melissa Lopez, executive director of nonprofit Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services, sees another side where hundreds have already been deported under this new administration.

“It’s important that President Biden and Vice President Harris realize that despite their very clear desires about how immigrants are treated, we continue to see on a local level immigrants being mistreated and disregarded,” Lopez explained to the Associated Press.

Fracking

Biden recently ordered a moratorium on stopping new oil and gas leases on federal land and water areas and halted construction on the Keystone Pipeline.

Biden’s campaign message about environmental protections, including fracking, was inconsistent. “I am not banning fracking…,” Biden declared, while campaigning in Pittsburgh in front of union workers, yet in the March Democratic primary debate between Sen. Bernie Sanders and Biden, Sanders emphasized he was committed to ending fracking as soon as possible. Biden agreed saying, “So am I.”

While he later retracted that statement, the campaign did put out a Buy America plan that included environment commitments.

Throughout the campaign, Biden emphasized his working class roots, but some see this as in direct opposition to his move on the Keystone pipeline. John Kerry, the newly appointed special presidential envoy for climate speaks about how President Biden wants to make sure people have better choices, better alternatives, that the Keystone workers and other fracking careers can be the people who go to work to make the solar panels. But one Nebraska truck driver, Chris Olson talks to Fox News that they don’t have the right skill set.

“How’s that guy that has 30, 40 years of welding experience putting in pipelines in, how does he transfer that to solar. You are going to reeducate everyone that was on the pipeline. That’s not going to happen.”

The cancellation may ultimately damage the economy in nearby Nebraska and the surrounding areas extensively.  Many professionals predict the cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline will drastically rise the price of gas in all states around the country.

“Small communities are already seeing ‘less money coming in’, with crews out of work,” Fox news reported.

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts argues the best environmental move is to keep building.

“There’s 20,000 miles of pipeline already in Nebraska. It’s the safest way to move oil…. And if you truly are worried about the environment, you want to see oil move this way versus another way.”

Re-joining WHO

After President Trump withdrew, now President Biden promised to re-partner with the World Health Organization.

“On my first day as President, I will rejoin the WHO and restore our leadership on the world stage,” Biden promised audiences during his campaigning

Many in the medical field are excited by his actions here.

“The scientific community applauded President Joe Biden’s decision to rejoin the WHO and other global efforts to stop and prevent COVID-19,” USA Today reported.

With Biden’s upcoming congressional battle over the new COVID-19 relief bill, many believe he will follow through.

In President Biden’s final debate against former President Trump, he talked about how he would try to bring the country together.

“I represent all of you, whether you voted for me or against me. And I’m going to make sure you’re represented.”
