    The executive action is likely to allow US officials to shut off asylum requests once a daily threshold is met, allowing border officials to limit the amount of migrant arrivals, according to media.

    I know what’ll curb illegal border crossings when there’s illegal border crossings due to our massive backlog…

    We’ll just let less people thru legally!

    /s

    Where’s are the people saying Biden can’t do anything we want via executive order because he’s not a dictator?

    For some reason, that only seems to be an issue when it’s something we want…

      mulling use of a 1952 law that allows access to the American asylum system to be restricted.

      Someday givessomefucks will learn the difference between a law and executive order. Today is not this day though.

          The same regulation was used by the Trump administration to ban immigration and travel from several predominantly Muslim countries and to bar migrants from asylum if they were apprehended crossing into the US illegally, provoking accusations of racism.

          He’s doing exactly what Trump did for the Muslim ban but it’s okay now?

          Who is Biden doing this for? Not his base and not for republicans

      He did that. For three years of his term. Sanctuary cities are at capacity, and Congress won’t pass immigration policy that would mandate red state participation, so there’s no Federal support.

      Executive Orders can address border security, but not immigration policy.

      What do you want him to do with the people? Detain them or refuse them entry?

      Also where are the ones saying the Republican bill he was pushing was just a way to make them look bad.
