CRISTINA LONDOÑO: Immigration is President Biden's Achilles heel; he has only 30% approval on this issue and the harshest criticism we've heard is from people who just a few months ago were believing in him and supporting him.

Biden's worst performance, both activists and detractors claim, has been at the border, where they equate the situation with that of the Trump administration.

FERNANDO GARCIA: All we have at the border are still cages, prisons, and detention centers. And on the other hand, the fact that we already have cases where refugees have been deported - well they have been expelled - without any legal rights.

LONDOÑO: The White House spokeswoman told us that the migration issue is included in Biden's speech and that the president has not forgotten his promises.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: I sent a comprehensive immigration bill to the United States Congress.  If you believe we need to secure the border, pass it.  If you believe in a pathway to citizenship, pass it so over 11 million undocumented folks — the vast majority are here overstaying visas.  Pass it.
