During his campaign, President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. promised to swiftly reverse those and other Trump administration border policies. But on Tuesday, Mr. Biden and his top advisers seemed to walk back those pledges.

Changing Mr. Trump’s policies immediately, he warned, would be “the last thing we need” because it might lead to having “two million people on our border.”
“It will get done and it will get done quickly but it’s not going to be able to be done on Day 1,” Mr. Biden added.
