Biden's New Border Policies and Asylum Restrictions
President Joe Biden's recent executive measures at the US-Mexico border aim to curb illegal immigration, accelerate deportations, and dismantle human smuggling networks. The executive order restricts asylum requests and allows for the closure of the US-Mexico border when there is a surge in illegal crossings.
This move is intended to quickly deport immigrants who enter irregularly and tighten the granting of asylum in the United States. Specific groups, such as unaccompanied children and trafficking victims, are exempt from the asylum ban.
Public concern over migrants entering the country has led to pressure from both Republicans and some Democrats to reduce the number of arrivals. Critics argue that the strict regulations may lead to increased suffering and challenges for asylum-seekers, potentially causing chaos and hardship.
Despite aiming to address border security concerns, Biden's decision has faced backlash and calls for a reevaluation from international organizations like the United Nations and UNHCR. The executive order aligns Biden closer to Trump's border policies and is seen as one of the toughest ever by a Democratic president.
