Critics argue that the order is an election-year ruse, while others express concerns about asylum rights.
President Biden issued an executive order restricting asylum to reduce illegal crossings at the US Southern border.
In recent developments, the Biden administration has taken action to address the increasing number of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border. President Biden issued an executive order restricting asylum, aiming to reduce the influx of migrants crossing the border illegally. Analysts and immigration experts are discussing the potential impact of this move on reducing illegal crossings at the US Southern border. Jasmine Garsd, a journalist covering immigration trends and potential impacts on both sides of the political spectrum, is among those analyzing this new approach to border control.
Critics of President Biden's plan include former President Donald Trump and some Republican lawmakers who argue that the order is an election-year ruse and call for tougher action on immigration. On the other hand, left-wing Democrats, activists, and the UN have expressed concerns about the order, with some arguing that it violates asylum rights. Despite these criticisms, Biden's opponents within his own party warn that he cannot live in fear of either wing of his party if he hopes to secure re-election.
In addition to addressing immigration policy, the Biden administration is also working on a bipartisan border security deal in an effort to address the root causes of migration and improve conditions for migrants. This comprehensive approach aims to tackle both the supply and demand factors driving migration, while ensuring that those in need of protection are able to access safe and legal pathways.
In summary, President Biden's new executive order restricting asylum is a significant step in his administration's efforts to address the record number of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border. However, this move has sparked debate among politicians, activists, and experts about its potential impact on both immigration policy and the upcoming midterm elections. As discussions continue, it remains to be seen how this order will shape future immigration policy in the United States.

The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author uses phrases like 'Republican rivals have criticised' and 'But Mr Biden says' which are editorializing. The author also only reports details that support the author's position, such as the concerns of left-wing Democrats and UN, while ignoring the fact that some Democrats have also voiced support for Biden's executive order. This is selective reporting.

The author makes several appeals to authority when reporting on the criticisms of Biden's executive order by former President Trump and Republican Senator Ted Cruz. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the actions of these individuals as an 'extremely cynical political move' and a 'direct assault on the fundamental human right to seek asylum'. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the situation at the border, with the author describing it as being 'overwhelmed' when certain numbers are reached and then reopening to asylum seekers when those numbers decrease.
Mr Trump wrote on social media that Mr Biden had ‘surrendered our southern border’ and was now ‘pretending to finally do something’ about it.
