WASHINGTON — 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 president’s 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.

Way too little, way too late, Joe. It's all on you.
Your actions at this late date only prove that you've known all along that your 3-1/2 years of complete inaction, even complicity, on border security/illegal immigration/amnesty/etc years is pure treason.

This is a nothing burger. It doesn't do a thing to really secure the border. All it is is a PR stunt so the media sycophants can claim that Biden is doing something to secure the border when he isn't.

That works out to 912,500 annually. Add in an equal number of 'gotaways' and that is approx. 2,000,000 annually. A 4 year term would allow 8,000.000 Illegals in to the USA.
Wake up people. He is determined to destroy America as we know it.

Now, I'm just a country bumpkin, but something tells me this has more to do with the upcoming election than it does with any Biden concern about the country. I'm probably the only one that suspects that, right?

"Biden signs executive order dramatically tightening border" not true. More BS from the demented FJB. He is still allowing a million illegals into America. This is unexceptable. Besides, didn't FJB tell us over and over there wasn't a damn thing he could do on his own? That Trump and MAGA supporters were blocking border reform. Another lie. You bet. Seems strange to me that we will spend $ millions upon millions making sure Ukraine has protected borders but nothing for America. We have got to stop this insanity. We are circling the toilet bowl and FJB and the dems are ready to flush everything we know and love down the drain.

As usual lies, lies, lies and still more lies from the Communist Death Democrat Propaganda media sewer outlets like NBC. This "crackdown" still allows almost 3 million a year illegal aliens into the country. All of the treasonous traitors in the propaganda media deserver either life long prison sentences or the death sentence for Treason.
Lies, lies, endless lies.

Why 2500 "get in free" passes for illegals each day? Why not 0? If Biden were serious about addressing the current border issues, he would simply order ICE and Border patrol to fully enforce all current immigration laws to their fullest extent. No more free passes, no "parole", no nothing! Simply follow current laws! That will unbreak the broken system. Also, start finishing the wall. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, an big tall wall!

Whenever I try to imagine a suitable punishment for someone who would allow their own country to be invaded, I can't imagine a worse one than this.
You are old. You are senile, yet still lucid enough to know it's happening. You have a Harpy wife that won't/can't let you retire. You soil yourself on international television. Your dementia also plays out on every news station. THAT and the destruction of this country is your legacy.
And who knows, perhaps a warmer fate awaits in the afterlife.

Which reporter will ask the question, "Mr. President, when did you finally realize that the border was not secure? Was it perhaps after you saw the results of the "sham" trial? " Maybe the brilliant KJP can shed some light on this for us clowns.

Too little too late, Joe. We need to stop all immigration from the illegals invading our country and start deportations immediately. It is cheaper to do that then the cost of feeding and housing them much less their criminals killing and stealing from us.

Joe "Pinocchio's" nose should be 100 miles long at this point. His lies roll off his tongue so easily he doesn't notice. His dementia isn't an excuse either. He wouldn't notice even if he was in his right mind. He'll say anything that he thinks will serve his purpose at the time.

America has a system for orderly and legal immigration and there is no excuse for not insisting that ALL prospective immigrants follow it. Biden is attempting to sanitize and codify his lawlessness.

Opinion poll after opinion poll of the Illegals over the years has shown that IF they could vote, about 80% of them would vote Democ'RAT. THAT is what drives the whole operation. Political Power..... and the Hades with the Law, and the Hades with the ill effects this is having on America.... in fact, the more it damages America, the better.
You can all bet your Bottom Dollar that if the opinion polls showed that the Illegals would vote 80% Republican, the 'Rats would do every thing in their power to keep the Illegals OUT.

Apparently, the solution to the border problem is to have an election. Maybe we should do that monthly.

Just like lowering the price of gas two cents a gallon, nobody will notice and nobody will care. Where did Joe suddenly get this authority? Did he run it by Mayorkas first? What does Kammy the Border Czar have to say about it?

This is more "Leftist Political Theater." Biden doesn't need an "EO" to enforce the Laws on the books. This "EO" is being used to rewrite existing Law without going through the Legislature. Alas, when you think Biden is acting correctly, you discover he's violating his Oath of Office, yet again.

Biden’s so-called “catch and release” scheme remains in effect, so when Third World origin illegal aliens cross the border into the USA, while they will not be supposedly be allowed to apply for asylum immediately after entering the USA unlawfully, they for the most part will still be waved into the USA and if they wish can apply for asylum later on in some leftist and progressive Democrat so-called “sanctuary city” or just stay in the USA without apply for any sort of legal status. Biden and the leftist and progressive Democrats know that the vast majority of asylum claims filed by illegal aliens have been denied, about 90%, after the claimants were found to have entered the USA to take a US job or to commit criminal activity, factors that do not give aliens eligibility for asylum in the USA. That alone shows that Biden’s policy statement that all aliens from all over the world who “might” be eligible for asylum in the USA must be allowed to gain entry to the USA to pursue asylum claims in the US immigration court system “because that’s who we are” is ridiculous!
Clearly the partisan political object of Biden’s overall “open borders” scheme is to flood the USA with as many Third World origin illegal aliens as possible who once inside the USA are classified as being members of minority groups, who Biden and the leftist and progressive Democrats plan to legalize by way of a series of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties with the partisan political objective to transform as many millions of those legalized aliens as possible into future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters, by granting them all sorts of social welfare benefits and the big “hook” that the leftist and progressive Democrats will allow them to bring their extended foreign relatives into the USA, if that happens it would “jack up” the population numbers of those former illegal alien anchor relatives by a factor of at least six or higher once their foreign relatives are counted, all deemed to be future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters. The ultimate objective of the Biden “open borders” and “catch and release” schemes that violate the intent of the immigration laws that were constitutionally passed by Congress is to eventually allow enough Third World origin illegal aliens to unlawfully gain entry to the USA to permanently change enough of the USA population demographics to the point where minority group population coalitions in the USA make up the majority population of the country, supporting the leftist and progressive Democrat political agenda, thus keeping the leftist and progressive Democrats in permanent political power controlling both the Congress and the White House on into the future. Common sense will tell you that will eventually happen if Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” remain in any sort of effect, as the poor and uneducated populations of the Third World exceed the current US population by the billions.
Common sense will also tell you that Mexico would not be allowing unlimited numbers of Third World origin people to transit Mexico to unlawfully gain entry to the USA if Biden had not reached some sort of confidential agreement with the socialist Mexican President to the affect that if Mexico allows and facilitates the flood of Third World illegal aliens to pass through Mexico, that Biden will not deport any of the many millions of Mexican illegal aliens now in the USA along with all that unlawfully enter the USA in the future. Beyond that I agree with poster #4.

Dramatically close the border is bull dust. There will be about 1 million entering the country per year. Countries will dump their undesirables and send them toward America just a Castro sent all that were in asylums in Cuba were sent to America. It would make no difference with congress or the senate sending a bill that would close the border and clean up the current immigration laws Biden would not sign the bill.

Had to a trip to pick up parts that help the Navy make the world safe for democracy. In doing so I had the chance to listen to the noon Clay and Buck show aka the two guys barely doing what one guy in Rush Limbaugh did flawlessly show. They played a clip of that little lying corrupt gargoyle explaining this latest border EO by his boss the Cadaver-in-Thief. It's all pure theater and dog squeeze at this point. This will be the anchor wrapped around this illegal regime's scrawny neck until November.

Dramatically tightening the border.... to a mere million adult 'sneaker accrossers' per year. (Unlimited 'unaccompanied children though' ) ....
And unlimited foreign people directly imported by the government through other means.
It's just another Kabuki performance because it is getting close to election time.
