BREAKING: Biden To Limit Asylum On Southern Border To 2500/Day

[RAMROD 117,017]

The White House is telling lawmakers that President Joe Biden is preparing to sign off on an executive order that would shut down asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500, according to several people familiar with the discussions. 

The impact of the 2,500 figure means that the executive order could go into immediate effect because daily figures are higher than that now.

The Democratic president is expected to unveil the actions — his most aggressive unilateral move yet to control the numbers at the border — at the White House on Tuesday at an event to which border mayors have been invited.

Five people familiar with the discussions on Monday confirmed the 2,500 figure, while two of the people confirmed the 1,500 number. The figures are daily averages over the course of a week. All the people insisted on anonymity to discuss an executive order that is not yet public.

While other border activity, such as trade, is expected to continue, the 1,500 threshold at which the border would reopen for asylum seekers could be hard to reach. The last time the daily average dipped to 1,500 encounters was in July 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Senior White House officials, including chief of staff Jeff Zients and legislative affairs director Shuwanza Goff, have been informing lawmakers on Capitol Hill of details of the planned order ahead of the formal rollout Tuesday. But several questions remain about how the executive order would work, particularly how much cooperation the U.S. would need from Mexican officials to carry out the executive order.

The executive order will allow Biden to declare that he has pushed the boundaries of his own power after lawmakers, specifically congressional Republicans, killed off what would have been the toughest border and asylum restrictions in some time. Biden’s order is aimed at trying to head off any potential spike in border encounters that could happen later this year, closer to the November elections.

He’s gonna get heavy criticism from many on the left but they seriously need to do something at the border.

Then they get so angry at being called blue maga lmao

I am not mad about this. Anyone who really wanted to seek asylum should be here in the US already. Plus, there are no open jobs for undocumented workers because there are so many of them.

Before you go back under your bridge, can you elaborate on this?

I am pro-immigration. My parents are immigrants. But tightening controls at the border isn’t a new concept and was eventually going to happen. These asylum seekers have had years to make their way here.

As an asylee myself and doing the work that I do… this is quite disappointing. I understand the heavy flow of people we’ve had recently but these people are running away from their countries for obvious dangerous, life-risk reasons.

People who are already here and haven’t been detained at the border can apply for affirmative asylum, however when you’ve had a removal order or were detained by the BP it becomes harder and you have to go through defensive asylum, which is harder to get help for.

And as such maybe you also understand that not everyone has the money/resources/age at the time to make their way to the US years ago, right? Or maybe they were ok until recently when they started fearing for their lives?

If you are pro-immigration, you have a cruel way of expressing it.

(I support responsible restrictions at the border, but I'm still not sure why you said this).

I hope your parents didn't need to encounter too many people with your black & white mindset.

This is crazy 

Nothing about the conditions that make people asylum seekers has changed much down south

Conditions you clearly know very little about based on this elaboration ☠️

This is a lie

There's something like 8 million open job positions in the US and not nearly enough people to fill them even when including immigrants.

And this sounds like something Joe Germanotta would say.

Your parents are immigrants so you must know how gross this sounds.

This is kinda gross…

It sounds like you’re not pro-immigration, you’re just pro-my-own-parents’-immigration…

You understand that humans give birth and new generations and circumstances happen right? Not everyone will want to seek asylum in the same time as your parents did.

Im mostly against mass immigration but I do understand the need to seek asylum

This is the comment. The number one characteristic of people who've 'made it' is they don't trust people who haven't yet made it themselves, for whatever reason. It's stupid.

If u do the calculation this still allows up to over 900,000 a year. That is not a small number. So definitely not like thats being stingy with refugee admissions and realistically u cant accept an unlimited number

 

Still tho, this is sad for those who get turned away

 

I think the US can still accept a number above the 1M mark with proper planning
