The order aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pete-buttigieg-rubs-it-in-kamala-harriss-thankless-portfolio-means-she-never-gets-credit-for-anything\/\" title=\"Pete Buttigieg Rubs It in: Kamala Harris\u2019s Thankless Portfolio Means She Never Gets Credit for Anything\">halt illegal immigration<\/a> from Mexico and is expected to\u200b set specific triggers for border shutdowns. This move contrasts with Biden&#8217;s past assertions\u200d that \u2064only Congress can resolve the immigration problem. President Joe Biden is poised to \u2063issue a comprehensive executive order to tackle the crisis \u200dat the southern border, marking \u200ba departure from his earlier\u2062 position\u2063 on taking unilateral action. The order is\u200b designed to curb illegal\u2062 immigration from Mexico and will likely establish precise conditions\u200d for border closures. This shift contradicts Biden&#8217;s earlier belief that Congressional intervention was essential to address immigration issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\">Joe Biden<\/a> is slated to take broad executive action to end the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/border-crisis\" title>crisis<\/a> that has rocked the southern border since he took office in 2021, a move that goes against his recent claims that he may lack the authority act unilaterally. <\/p>\n<p>The White House is expected to announce an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/executive-action\" title>executive order<\/a> Tuesday that effectively shuts down the U.S.-Mexico border to illegal immigration. Under the Biden administration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3007611\/border-officials-encounter-10-million-migrants-under-biden-september-green\/\" title>nearly 10 million<\/a> non-U.S. citizens have been encountered attempting to enter the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has not yet publicly disclosed details of the order, but it is expected to resemble a Senate proposal that House Republicans came out against earlier this year that sets specific levels of immigrant crossings that would trigger a border shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have blamed Biden for the historically high levels of illegal immigration for rolling back Trump-era immigration policies after taking office. They\u2019ve insisted Biden has the power to end the border crisis without Congress, while the Biden administration has insisted a legislative solution is needed. <\/p>\n<p>Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-04-10\/biden-says-he-may-have-authority-to-close-border-on-his-own\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"said in April\">said in April<\/a> there\u2019s no guarantee he has the legal authority to shut down the border and therefore Congress should act. <\/p>\n<p>Now Biden\u2019s proposal would entail shutting down asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 at ports of entry, meaning it could take effect immediately. The border could reopen if the daily average over the course of a week declines to 1,500, according the <em>Associated Press. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The order would affect adult immigrants who cross the border and seek asylum. The changes are expected to be in line with limitations that were floated earlier this year in a Senate package that ultimately failed to gain Republican support. In that proposal, senators had floated barring immigrants from seeking asylum at the border (not just ports of entry) if more than 8,500 people were arrested in a single day or an average of 5,000 per apprehended in a week.<\/p>\n<p>Children are expected to be exempt from the restrictions, which could cause Mexican smuggling organizations to increasingly traffic them to the border, knowing that they will not be turned away.<\/p>\n<p>Any executive action could face lawsuits from groups that perceive it as an overreach of authority since Congress has the ability to determine immigration levels.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s action stands at odds with statements that he and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have made for the past three years. Both have maintained that \u201conly Congress can fix our broken immigration system,\u201d as Mayorkas stated on May 23.<\/p>\n<p>Biden visited Brownsville, Texas, in February to tour the border, the second time in his five decades as an elected official.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the February visit, the White House said that \u201cCongress must act\u201d to address the border, distancing itself from any possibility of executive action.<\/p>\n<p>After the Senate failed again to pass a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-accuse-biden-of-playing-political-game-over-border-crisis\/\" title=\"House Republicans Accuse Biden of Playing \u2018Political Game\u2019 Over Border Crisis\">border security measure<\/a> last month, the White House is now going it alone to address what has become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/2889607\/biden-trump-border-immigration-number-one-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>No. 1 issue<\/a> among U.S. voters nationwide: immigration.<\/p>\n<p>At no time in history during any White House administration has that many immigrants come to the border, even in two terms.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have accused the Biden administration numerous times in congressional hearings of failing to respond adequately to the unprecedented surge of immigrants over the past 40 months.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the White House shot back at Republicans as being opposed to the Senate plan and executive action for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongressional Republicans do not care about securing the border or fixing America\u2019s broken immigration system.
