The United States has reinstated a controversial Trump era migration policy on the orders of the Supreme Court after President Biden tried to scrap it.

美国根据最高法院的命令恢复了备受争议的特朗普时代的移民政策，此前拜登总统曾试图废除该政策。

The program orders asylum seekers to stay on Mexican territory while they wait for their applications to be processed.

该政策要求寻求庇护者在等待他们的申请被处理期间留在墨西哥领土上。

It had led to thousands of migrant families being forced to stay in dangerous conditions on the Mexican border.

这导致成千上万的移民家庭被迫留在墨西哥边境的危险环境中。

The remaining Mexico policy was sharply criticized by Mr Biden as inhumane while he was still a candidate, and he quickly rescinded it once he took office.

在拜登还是总统候选人的时候，他就尖锐地批评了上届遗留的墨西哥政策，称其是不人道的，他一上任就迅速废除了这一政策。

Now, the administration is in a complicated position of supposedly opposing a law it is implementing and which many commentators say it actually welcomes as a tool with which to keep down the number of migrants reaching its southern border each month.

现在，拜登政府处于一个复杂的境地，因为它将反对一项它主张实施的法律，而许多评论人士表示，拜登政府实际上欢迎这项法律，因为它可以用来控制每月到达南部边境的移民人数。

President Biden has announced a multi-pronged plan to fight the coronavirus as US officials confirmed cases of the new Omicron variant in several states.

The plan includes an expansion of home diagnostic tests, stricter rules for international travelers, and new efforts to encourage vaccines and boosters.

该计划包括扩大国内诊断检测、对国际旅行者实行更严格的规定，以及采取新的措施鼓励接种疫苗和加强针。

All international passengers will have to be tested for the virus in the 24 hours before they leave for the US regardless of their vaccination status.

所有国际旅客在前往美国之前的24小时内都必须接受病毒检测，无论他们是否接种了疫苗。

Mr Biden said there was cause for concern but not panic.

We knew there would be cases of this Omicron here in the United States and it's here.

我们知道美国会出现奥密克戎毒株，现在也已经发现了。

But we have the best tools, the best vaccines in the world, and the best medicine, and the best scientists in the world.

但我们有最好的工具、世界上最好的疫苗、最好的药物，以及世界上最好的科学家。

We're gonna fight this variance with science and speed, not chaos and confusion, just like we beat back Covid-19 in the spring and more powerful variant -- Delta variant -- in the summer and fall.

我们将以科学和速度抗击这种毒株，而不是混乱和困惑，就像我们在春天抗击新冠病毒，以及在夏秋抗击更危险的德尔塔毒株一样。
