President Joe Biden is issuing an executive order on Tuesday that permits about 2,500 migrant encounters at the United States-Mexico border before the Department of Homeland Security can control the border — only between Ports of Entry.Senate immigration deal that similarly permitted thousands of daily migrant encounters at the nation’s southern border before the DHS could control portions between Ports of Entry.
Most significantly, the order mandates that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can only restrict such portions of the border after 2,500 migrants have been encountered over seven days. This is the equivalent of about 17,500 migrants arriving at the border each week — about a million migrants a year.Border restrictions due to migrant encounters exceeding 2,500 for seven days on average means migrants crossing between Ports of Entry are ineligible to claim asylum.
In practice, Mayorkas can allow asylum claims for migrants crossing between Ports of Entry about 14 days after restrictions are imposed. Slipped into the order are a slew of exemptions for whom the order does not apply.
Likewise, the order keeps in place the unaccompanied alien children pipeline, in which the federal government resettles UACs who have arrived at the border across the U.S. with adult sponsors — the majority of whom are not their biological parents.
