Biden Shuts Down Southern Border for Asylum Seekers
-
The Biden-Harris Administration’s executive actions will:
Bar Migrants Who Cross the Southern Border Unlawfully From Receiving Asylum
President Biden issued a proclamation under Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the Southern border into the United States unlawfully. This proclamation is accompanied by an interim final rule from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security that restricts asylum for those noncitizens.
.
These actions will be in effect when the Southern border is overwhelmed, and they will make it easier for immigration officers to quickly remove individuals who do not have a legal basis to remain in the United States.
.
These actions are not permanent. They will be discontinued when the number of migrants who cross the border between ports of entry is low enough for America’s system to safely and effectively manage border operations. These actions also include similar humanitarian exceptions to those included in the bipartisan border agreement announced in the Senate, including those for unaccompanied children and victims of trafficking. -
"President Biden is in trouble politically — he's polling right up there with fungal infections," Sen. Kennedy quipped in a Senate press conference. "Part of the reason for that is that he gave in to the loon-wing of his party and he dissolved the southern border."
"Now, five months before an election, he has to appear to be willing to do something about it," the Louisiana Republican continued. "Hence this executive order. He expects you to report this epiphany that he has had, take what the White House is telling you, balance on your noses like trained seals, and report it uncritically," Sen. Kennedy said, speaking to reporters gathered for his remarks.
"For three years, we have watched President Biden push on a door that has been clearly marked pull," Sen. Kennedy assessed. "He's mismanaged Congress, COVID, the national debt, the economy, inflation, crime, Afghanistan, Iran, the war in Gaza, the war in Ukraine, and now of course the border."
"You can't make this cat walk backward," Sen. Kennedy continued. "The president's border policies have allowed 8 million people to come into our country illegally. If you try to come into our country today legally, you are a sucker — all that you have to do is present yourself at the southern border," he added of Biden's use of catch-and-release, abuse of parole, and lack of interest in immediately removing ineligible-for-asylum illegal aliens.
I remember a thread in TOCR called "Jollyisms."
Yeah, that.

@Jolly said in Biden Shuts Down Southern Border for Asylum Seekers:
There's an election coming...He was against it until he was for it
Of course. (See President Trump (TIk Tok, pro choice before he was pro life, national health care, etc.)
But it is interesting that now that President Biden has done what the Republicans wanted, now they are against it.

Not quite. Biden has not ended illegal immigration. The EO still allows 1.8 million illegal crossings annually, provides exemptions to illegal immigrants crossing at ports of entry using the CBP One app, and does not apply to parolees or unaccompanied minors.

It also doesn't end the flights into the US from foreign countries. I believe 300,000 have been flown in so far.

They keep saying "asylum ban." And yet 4500 a day, 1.65 million a year are allowed.
That's not a ban.
So far about 2.5% of the people in this country are "asylum seekers."

That's not counting children or unaccompanied minors, nor CBP-1 ap numbers.

The actual statement is even better...Kennedy says he spent 25 years in major league politics before being sent to the minors in Washington...
