Biden to Issue Executive Order Limiting Asylum Processing at US-Mexico Border When Daily Apprehensions Exceed 2,500

President Biden is expected to issue an executive order restricting asylum processing along the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday. The order will allow US immigration officials to quickly deport migrants who enter the US illegally without processing their asylum claims when daily apprehensions exceed 2,500. Migrant apprehensions along the southern border have reached record levels over the past three years, creating a humanitarian crisis and political headache for the Biden administration. The executive order will rely on a presidential authority known as 212(f), which was used by the Trump administration to enact several immigration restrictions, including the so-called travel ban. Asylum processing at border ports of entry will continue under the order. Right now, the Biden administration is processing roughly 1,500 migrants at these official crossings each day, mostly under a system powered by a smartphone app that distributes appointments to those waiting in Mexico. Unaccompanied children are also expected to be exempt from the order. On Sunday, some Democratic lawmakers were briefed on Mr. Biden's plans. Mayors of border communities have also been invited to attend Tuesday's expected announcement. Mr. Biden's planned executive action is likely to be challenged in court, as have virtually all of his major immigration policies faced lawsuits by advocates for migrants or Republican-led states.}

Biden expected to announce new asylum restrictions at border

The Fixing Site: A Summary of the Article. Nick Miroff, Monday, 03 June 2024 19:18
  • Unique Points
    • President Biden is expected to announce new asylum restrictions at the border on Tuesday.
    • The daily threshold for illegal border crossings, above which access to the US asylum system will be shut off, is expected to be set at a daily average of 2,500.
    • Migrants who state a fear of persecution if returned to Mexico or their home countries will remain eligible for asylum under certain protections.
    • Biden’s order is expected to be challenged in federal court on similar grounds as Trump’s previous attempts.
  • Accuracy
    • Illegal border crossings have averaged more than 3,500 in recent weeks.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the authors' position of Biden's plan to restrict asylum access when illegal border crossings exceed a daily threshold. The article does not report any counterarguments or alternative perspectives. Additionally, there is emotional manipulation through the use of phrases like 'big question,' 'political bind,' and 'largest political liabilities.'
    • Illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have averaged more than 3,500 in recent weeks, according to the latest government data.
    • The administration has been considering the move since the failure of bipartisan border legislation this year that would have enacted a similar trigger to shut off asylum access at times when U.S. authorities become overwhelmed.
    • Migrants who state a fear of persecution if returned to Mexico will remain eligible under the Convention Against Torture and other protections afforded by U.S. law.
    • During the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. authorities used a public health emergency to rapidly ‘expel’ migrants and turn away asylum seekers who arrived illegally.
    • People with knowledge of the plans said they expected the cap to be set at a daily average of 2,500 illegal crossings.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The article contains several informal fallacies and a dichotomous depiction. The authors use inflammatory rhetoric by describing the situation at the border as 'overwhelmed' and 'record levels', implying that it is out of control. They also use loaded language when referring to migrants as 'illegal crossings' and 'migrants who state a fear of persecution'. This creates a negative connotation towards migrants, making it seem like they are doing something wrong by seeking asylum. Additionally, the authors dichotomously depict the situation by presenting only two options: either Biden implements new restrictions or he does nothing. They fail to acknowledge that there may be other solutions or alternatives to this issue. No formal fallacies were found.
    • The administration has been considering the move since the failure of bipartisan border legislation this year that would have enacted a similar trigger to shut off asylum access at times when U.S. authorities become overwhelmed.
    • Migrants who state a fear of persecution if returned to Mexico will remain eligible under the Convention Against Torture and other protections afforded by U.S. law.
    • Biden's order would render them ineligible for asylum protections if crossings exceed the daily threshold.
    • The decision by this administration to criminalize migrants – many of whom are fleeing harm – is deeply disturbing and misguided.
  • Bias (80%)
    The authors use language that depicts the situation at the border as a political liability for President Biden and portrays migrants as a burden. They also mention Trump's criticism of Biden's border policies and his promises to enact a crackdown if he wins the presidency.
    • President Biden has been in a political bind over the border, as the issue has become increasingly important for voters.
      • Several liberal lawmakers have criticized Biden for his increasingly tough stance on the border, and pro-immigration activists have accused him of betraying core American ideals and not adopting more humane immigration policies after Trump’s turbulent term.
        • Trump has continuously attacked him for what he has described as 'open border' policies and 'Biden migrant crime', pledging to enact a sweeping crackdown if he wins the presidency.
