The administration aims to keep the border closed to most people seeking asylum in a 'border-in and border-out' approach.
In a significant move, President Biden announced a new executive action allowing certain undocumented spouses and children of US citizens to apply for lawful permanent residency without leaving the country. This sweeping election-year action is expected to provide legal status and protections for approximately 500,000 American families and roughly 50,000 noncitizen children of immigrants under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a US citizen. The administration has expanded legal protections for undocumented spouses of American citizens as part of its approach to the contentious issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. While President Biden aims to help immigrants already in the US, he also plans to keep the border closed to most people seeking asylum. This “border-in and border-out” approach is a reflection of the political complexity of immigration and aims to address voters' concerns about the issue. While some Democrats support Biden's actions, there is a split over his asylum order, with many feeling it goes against the party's aspirations for expanding pathways to citizenship and work visas for undocumented people living in the US. The new executive action has been met with praise from immigration advocates and progressives, who note that it offers deportation protections to hundreds of thousands of people.

The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author quotes Vanessa Cárdenas, the executive director of America's Voice, stating that Biden's policy 'violates fundamental American values' and 'puts people in danger.' However, the author does not provide any context or counterargument to these statements. This creates an emotionally charged environment without presenting a balanced perspective. Additionally, the article selectively reports on certain aspects of the situation, such as quoting critics of Biden's policy but omitting voices that support it.

Fallacies
(80%)
The author does not make any explicit fallacious arguments in the article. However, there are some implicit fallacies that can be identified. The author uses a dichotomous depiction by presenting the situation as if there are only two options: either Biden takes action to secure the border or he ignores it, with no consideration given to other possible solutions or nuances. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority in the form of quotes from various individuals expressing their opinions on Biden's policy. However, these quotes do not necessarily reflect fallacious arguments made by the author.
