Biden's Dual Immigration Moves Stir Debate on Border Policy

New measures aim to balance stricter asylum rules with pathways to citizenship for long-term residents.

Biden's recent actions include tougher asylum restrictions and potential citizenship for undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens.
The White House maintains these policies are not meant to counterbalance each other but address different aspects of immigration.
Critics argue Biden's approach is politically motivated, trying to appease both strict border enforcement advocates and immigration supporters.
Republicans claim Biden's policies are insufficient to address the ongoing border crisis, while some Democrats defend his efforts as necessary steps.
Polls indicate Biden's handling of immigration remains unpopular, with many Americans blaming him for the current border situation.
