Biden Expected to Sign Executive Order Restricting Asylum

McBell

President Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday allowing him to temporarily seal the U.S. border with Mexico to migrants when crossings surge, a move that would suspend longtime protections for asylum seekers in the United States.​
Mr. Biden’s senior aides have briefed members of Congress in recent days on the forthcoming action and told them to expect the president to sign the order alongside mayors from South Texas, according to several people familiar with the plans.​
...​
The order would represent the single most restrictive border policy instituted by Mr. Biden, or any modern Democrat, and echoes a 2018 effort by President Donald J. Trump to block migration that was assailed by Democrats and blocked by federal courts.​
Although the executive action is almost certain to face legal challenges, Mr. Biden is under intense political pressure to address illegal migration, a top concern of voters ahead of the presidential election this year.​
Wonder what the legal challenges will be.
More interesting will be from whom said challenges will come.

I think it's a good idea to limit the number coming in. The government should set up a court that can quickly review cases and give a thumbs up or down to asylum. And start a program for temp workers. The courts are so overwhelmed that there's no chance of catching up any time soon.

It takes money to set up such courts and the Republicans are cutting off their noses to spite their face so that they can openly lie about how Biden has not done anything about the border. As legal challenges this will violate both US and international law that we agreed to. I am certain that those supporting asylees and some actual asylees will start the suits.

And when independent voters find out about the interferance of republicans? At some point they will tire of republicans complaining over and over, yet doing nothing except interfere with solutions.

They had the opportunity, but wannabee dictator told his MAGA mental midgets to not vote of it as Biden would get the credit.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
My sister-in-law is from the Philippines.
She too was married BEFORE filing the paperwork to my brother.
It also took her nearly ten years to become a US citizen.

And I hate to think of the cost. Not to mention the freaking trouble.

I don't mind people coming here. But use the front door and do it legally instead of sneaking in through the back yard.

Not all migrants can get to a checkpoint. There are hundreds st a time crossing the river and surrendering to border patrol and asking for asylum.

There ya go! If there are so many crossing that seeking asylum can't even be done right at a checkpoint, we have a border crisis.

If they can travel through multiple countries, they certainly can find a proper checkpoint.

Let’s see who cheers about this.

Who is being appeased, here?
