This is expected to hurt him with his base while Republicans call the measure fake news to cover up the 10,000 trans mules Biden ordered from Bolivia to sway the election that they heard from newsOAANmax.
The one remaining independent voter decided on Thursday to sit this one out since: "Man. I don't know what the heck is going on and everytime I pick a side, half the country yells at me."
The executive action is likely to allow US officials to shut off asylum requests once a daily threshold is met, allowing border officials to limit the amount of migrant arrivals, according to media.
I know what'll curb illegal border crossings when there's illegal border crossings due to our massive backlog...
We'll just let less people thru legally!

Where's are the people saying Biden can't do anything we want via executive order because he's not a dictator?
For some reason, that only seems to be an issue when it's something we want...
Someday we won't have to see his "I totes don't want Trump to be re-elected wink wink I'm just trying my hardest to depress Democratic voter turnout!" but I guess it's not this day either.
He did that. For three years of his term. Sanctuary cities are at capacity, and Congress won’t pass immigration policy that would mandate red state participation, so there’s no Federal support.
Executive Orders can address border security, but not immigration policy.
What do you want him to do with the people? Detain them or refuse them entry?
Immigration is more of a cultural, identity issue than just an economic issue.
Immigration has been a chronic issue in the USA going back centuries eg discrimination against Chinese railroad workers, Irish and Italian immigrants, restrictions on immigration in the mid-1920s, forced deportation of U.S. citizens of Mexican origin in the 1930s, antisemitism and discrimination against Jewish immigrants.
Whites are projected to be less than 50% of the population in a generation and that will make immigration issue even more challenging to solve.
We are currently working under 50 year old laws which are not up to the current high migration task. Obviously, Republicans don't want to solve this issue, they want to use it as a wedge. So, let's see what Joe's got. But, it's an executive order and only a bandaid.
I remember folks were arguing dems were only playing along with the anti-immigration parts of that bill as a bargaining chip to send aid to ukraine. Then that version of the bill died off.
So they just implement the anti-immigration parts on their own i guess.
Obama deported more illegal immigrants than George W Bush and Donald Trump combined. Biden deported more illegals in his first 18 months than Trump did during his entire term.
Democrats being “weak on immigration” is nothing more than a racist dog whistle to stir up GOP voters.
Nobody wants illegal immigrants pouring over the border. That being said, some of us are a lot more understanding about it than others, because there would be a lot fewer people trying to cross if the CIA didn’t spend the last 60 years deliberately destabilizing South American governments. Fortunately, that’s not how most illegals get here. Most of them just overstay their visa after it expires. Which means that most of the time, deporting illegals involved lots of boring paperwork and happens one person at a time. There’s no drama in it, so it doesn’t really make the news like immigrants at the border do.
Democrats understand that simple fact. Republicans don’t.
The reason people cross illegally is we don't let refugees in legally.
The mass of innocent people, provides cover for the less than innocent. And they turn people into mules when they do cross, after charging them for it.
That's not even getting into the rampant organ harvesting that's happening to the people waiting to cross.
And like you said, Dems haven't been doing the right thing for decades now.
How are we better than Republicans if we let this horrible shit happen just because the other team is worse?
Why not just run someone with some fucking empathy?
