Biden to Sign Executive Order Imposing Strict Border Controls

President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order that would limit asylum-seeker crossings at the US-Mexico border once a daily threshold of 2,500 illegal crossings is exceeded. The order, using authority previously employed by the Trump administration, aims to address border security and is likely to face opposition from progressives and immigration advocates. Unaccompanied children are exempt from the order, which allows authorities to turn away migrants to Mexico or their origin country. The policy shift comes ahead of the first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump.
