President Joe Biden of the United States has recently signed an executive order aimed at tightening regulations for asylum seekers within the country. Under these new guidelines, individuals who unlawfully cross the US border will no longer have the option to seek asylum and will face immediate deportation. Moreover, they will be prohibited from re-entering the US for a period of five years.
These updated regulations will come into effect promptly, with exceptions made for unaccompanied minors, undocumented immigrants in imminent danger to their well-being, and victims of human trafficking. The restrictions are intended to be temporary, triggered by a threshold of 2,500 daily arrests of illegal migrants at the border for a week, and will be lifted once that number decreases to 1,500 per day. The logistics of enforcing the rapid deportation mandate remain unclear.
These measures bear a resemblance to the policies of former President Donald Trump, who is also vying for the presidency once again this year, like Biden. However, upon assuming office in 2021, Biden promptly rescinded the national emergency declaration at the Mexico border, put in place by Trump in 2019, deeming it unnecessary, and halted the construction of the border wall.
