Biden's Border Order Faces Scrutiny as Illegal Crossings Persist

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.
