This change is all in an attempt to make a more humane and safe immigration system. While this change will permit those at the border to be permitted at a much faster rate, this does not mean that the border will just permit people in a random manner. Homeland Security stated that the change, "should not be interpreted as an opening for people to migrate irregularly to the United States." Even though this change is a step up from the policy under the Trump admin, it is unlikely that it will be as successful as hoped. The Trump admin practically dismantled the immigration system and it may take some time to put back together and provide migrants a safe and orderly process.

I think this is a great start in rebuilding our immigration system. During the four years of Trump's presidency, he had the Mexico border built, reduced the number of asylum seekers, and stopped immigrants from receiving benefits. On top of all these, in 2019, Trump made the standards higher for legal immigration for both the applicants for non-immigrant visas and green cards. Although it may seem to take a long time to reverse the immigration system. Freeing 25,000 immigrants from their current condition is the first step to restoring the humane processing of immigrants.
Immigration in the U.S. is definitely a difficult topic to address, with all the social, humanitarian, economic, and security implications associated with forming a mutually beneficial immigration policy. With tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, it is a positive step that the President Biden administration is making to reform the system. Biden has been working quickly to undo many destructive actions implemented under former President Trump, such as accelerated deportations, the removal of DACA, and Muslim travel bad. However, his ambitious agenda is not met without setbacks. Federal courts have been calling for a more transparent and clear plan to be presented and ultimately prevented Biden from halting more deportations.
The issue of long-term immigration policy is even more challenging, with some arguing that Biden's current proposal giving undocumented immigrants in the U.S. an eight-year integration period is not doing enough to enforce legal immigration. Some ask for employers to vouch on behalf of the 11 million+ immigrants in the U.S. without proper documentation to help ensure their information is verified and they can continue with applying for U.S. citizenship.
