Executive Order on US-Mexico Border Shutdown

SOURCE nypost.com
President Biden is planning to issue an executive order to shut down the US-Mexico border once migrant crossings reach 4,000 per day. This action aligns with a failed bipartisan border bill from February. Border Patrol sectors are already exceeding their holding capacities, prompting the need for immediate action.

  • Legislative proposals for border control have faced challenges in Congress

Pros

  • Addresses the increasing number of migrant crossings at the US-Mexico border
  • Provides a mechanism for swift action in response to border security challenges

Cons

  • May face opposition and criticism from political opponents
  • Could lead to legal challenges and debates over executive authority
