Biden's Border Order Faces Scrutiny as Illegal Crossings Persist

New executive measures aim to curb migration but early data shows limited impact, raising questions about long-term effectiveness.

  • Biden's order pauses new asylum requests if daily border encounters exceed 2,500 for a week, resuming when they drop below 1,500.
  • Initial reports indicate no significant reduction in illegal crossings since the order's implementation.
  • Analysts argue the measures may only provide a short-term deterrent, with numbers likely to rebound.
  • Critics highlight the humanitarian risks and legal limbo faced by migrants stuck at the border.
  • Administration emphasizes cooperation with Mexico and promoting lawful entry pathways as key strategies.
