The actions bar asylum-seekers from entering the country if the average number of daily migrant encounters tops 2,500 between ports of entry.
President Joe Biden hopes to curtail the use of asylum at the southern border through new executive actions he announced Tuesday that would temporarily close the U.S.-Mexico border once a threshold of daily migrant encounters has been met.
"Four months ago, after weeks of intense negotiations between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, we came to a clear, clear, bipartisan deal," President Biden said in announcing the new immigration rules."It was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress — not all — walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to."
According to administration officials, President Biden's proclamation will be accompanied by an interim final rule from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security that suspends entry for asylum-seekers who cross the southwest land or coastal borders unlawfully, making it easier for immigration officials to conduct deportations and reducing the burden on border patrol agents.
Progressive Democrats in Congress similarly blasted President Biden’s move, and many Democrats facing tough reelection races are reportedly expected to skip the announcement Tuesday.
