President Joe Biden is back where he was with President Obama in 2013…..
Moving to crack down migrants to America….
Republicans are again whipsawing an American Democratic President into action….
Biden’s action’s to reverse the Trump hardline policies have caused Biden political pain and the Texas Governor’s exporting of legal migrants has brought the issue North to Blue ‘Sancuary’ cities and states with overflows of people unable to legally work….
Heeding Donald Trump’s call…
House Republicans have NOT helped the situation either….
The Biden administration is considering taking unilateral action without Congress to make it harder for migrants to pass the initial screening for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border and quickly deport recently arrived migrants who don’t meet the criteria, say three U.S. officials with knowledge of the deliberations.
The actions, which are still weeks away from finalization, are an effort to lower the number of migrants crossing the southern border illegally as immigration remains a top issue for voters heading into the 2024 presidential election.
Under the new policies, asylum officers would be instructed to raise the standards they use in their “credible fear interviews,” the first screening given to asylum-seekers who are trying to avoid deportation for crossing the border illegally. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be told to prioritize recently arrived migrants for deportation, in a “last in, first out” policy, the officials said.
A congressional aide with knowledge of the deliberations said the Biden administration has yet to make a decision, but raising the bar on asylum and deporting more newly arrived migrants are considered “low hanging fruit” and actions that can be taken quickly.
The three U.S. officials said it is unclear whether the policies would be achieved through executive order or a new federal regulation, which could take months to implement.
Making it harder to claim asylum and fast-tracking migrants for deportation are not new ideas, but they are being considered more seriously as the Biden administration looks for ways to tamp down chaos at the border after Republicans blocked border security provisions in the National Security Supplemental bill earlier this month…..
Note….
Recent migrant border crossing have dropped significantly, but are expected to climb with the warmer Spring weather….
