Biden to Sign Order Limiting Migrant Entry During Surges

President Biden is expected to announce new asylum restrictions that would deny access to the U.S. asylum system when illegal border crossings exceed a daily threshold of 2,500 to 3,000. Migrants would be returned to their home countries or Mexico once the limit is surpassed. This move follows the failure of bipartisan border legislation and aims to address the surge in illegal crossings, which have recently averaged more than 3,500 daily. The order is likely to face legal challenges similar to those encountered by former President Trump's immigration policies.
