President Joe Biden walks with U.S. Border Patrol agents along a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, on Jan. 8. | Andrew Harnik/APPresident Joe Biden issued long-expected executive actions on Tuesday to clamp down on migrants seeking asylum, and in doing so set the stage for the U.S. border with Mexico to be shut down between ports of entry at midnight.
The announcement represents an aggressive attempt by Biden to bolster his standing on the border in advance of the November election. Biden is expected to use a speech on Tuesday to highlight his unilateral efforts to resolve the crisis, while congressional Republicans — at the behest of Donald Trump — killed efforts to pass bipartisan border legislation earlier this year.
“The goal here is to secure our border while preserving legal immigration consistent with our values as a nation,” said a senior administration official, previewing the announcement for reporters. “There are several differences between the actions that we are taking today and Trump-era policies.
When crossings exceed a daily average of 2,500 over the course of a week, the president will have the authority to shut down the border in between ports of entry. Once the shutdown is in effect, DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can reopen the border once average crossings have fallen below 1,500 for seven consecutive days. That determination allows the border to reopen 14 days later.
