Biden announces immediate restrictions at US - Mexico Border
To neutralize immigration as a political risk before the november elections, President Joe Biden announced intentions on tuesday to implement immediate, severe limits on migrants seeking refuge at the US-Mexico data-border.
The much-awaited presidential decree would prevent asylum from being awarded to migrants when U.S. authorities determine that the southern data-border is overrun. Following the failure of a bipartisan data-border security agreement in Congress, which was rejected by the majority of Republican legislators at the urging of former President donald trump, the presumed GOP presidential contender, the Democratic president had been considering taking unilateral action for months.

Biden stated that although he desired more comprehensive legislative action, "Republicans have left me no choice." Instead, he insisted that "I believe immigration has always been the lifeblood of America" and stated that he was acting independently to "gain control of the data-border."
Biden stated, "Trump told the Republicans he wanted to use the problem to attack me, not to fix it." "It was a political ploy that was cynical, incredibly cynical, and a total disservice to the American people who want us to fix the data-border rather than weaponize it." In contrast, trump attacked Biden on social media once more on immigration, claiming that the Democrat had "totally surrendered our Southern Border" and that his order was "all for show" in advance of their presidential debate on june 27.

Biden's new data-border policy, by when it will go into effect?
According to top administration officials, the directive would take effect when there are 2,500 data-border interactions between ports of entry per day. Given that the daily averages have increased, Biden's directive ought to take effect right now. Less than 2,500 people were arrested on average per day for entering the country illegally from mexico in january 2021, the month Biden entered office. At the height of the COVID-19 epidemic in July 2020, data-border interactions last decreased to 1,500 per day.
