Facing mounting political pressure over the migrant influx at the U.S. southern border, President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed an executive order that will temporarily shut down asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry, according to a senior administration official.
The shutdown would go into effect immediately since that threshold has already been met, a senior administration official said. The border would reopen only once that number falls to 1,500.
The presidents order would come under the Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the southern border into the United States unlawfully.
Senior administration officials said Tuesday in a call with reporters that individuals who cross the southern border unlawfully or without authorization will generally be ineligible for asylum, absent exceptionally compelling circumstances, unless they are accepted by the proclamation.
In 2018, the Trump administration tried to enact similar border restrictions but courts blocked them. The Biden administration now expects to defend the executive order against legal challenges.
Well that's a bit absurd, so even if you have your passport and are a US citizen you can get delayed to staying in Mexico if the 2500 limit is reached for that day?

Inb4 conservatives are still mad about this.
In a written statement, Donald Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavett claimed that exception would give a green light to child traffickers and sex traffickers while reiterating the former presidents rallying cry that the border invasion and migrant crime will not stop until Crooked Joe Biden is deported from the White House.
Republican lawmakers are slamming the move as too little, too late.
(Biden) created a crisis at the border intentionally, said Sen. Kevin Cramer . R-ND. (The executive action) has more political risk than political benefit, particularly because his own base is going to reject it.

How many come over on an average day now? I have no concept of how this goes normally. This could be awful and lead to border shanty towns or this could mean absolutely nothing1 billion people according to Newsmax
So this is positive?
Too lateYep. Knew that was coming, since it's not 0 people allowed. I hate the right's insistence on blaming a bunch of shit on immigrants and calling it an invasion.

Courting voters who wont believe this anywayYep

uhhh whatIt's a violation of UN treaties the US has signed, arbitrary in ways that will delight a future Republican administration, and harmful to people with no clear political benefit.
isn't this terrible? why aren't people mad?
uhhh whatLike it or not, immigration policies are a huge deciding factor for voters. Just take a peek over towards Europe. If Democrats want to keep winning and actually convert Republicans and fence sitters then the unfortunate reality is they need to keep a firm, conservative grip on immigration.
