Abstract

President Joe Biden will sign an executive order to halt certain asylum claims at the US-Mexico border until crossings decrease significantly. The order aims to reduce the flow of migrants and address a major concern before the upcoming election. New asylum claims will be prevented until border crossings decrease by about two-thirds, and the policy will be implemented once levels reach approximately 2,500 crossings per day. The move is politically risky and may face criticism from Biden's left flank, but it highlights the administration's efforts to address the border crisis and the failure of a bipartisan bill.
