Democrats fume as Joe Biden plans to sign executive order which will uproot the asylum system and shut the border

Congress Democrats are triggered by Joe Biden‘s planned executive order to change asylum claims for migrants entering the U.S. illegally, with some saying it won’t work.

President Joe Biden is expected to announce a new executive action on Tuesday to limit the number of illegal migrants who can seek asylum once a threshold of unlawful crossings is reached.

The White House and some lawmakers have said it would help him “close the border,” but that’s far from true critics.

The order will allow the president to revoke the ability of illegal immigrants to seek asylum, which is typically the start of a years-long legal process.

Even now Democrats admit that the expected plan to tackle illegal immigration, months before the elections, has major shortcomings.

“So it’s not very likely that everything Biden is talking about can work without additional resources,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., one of the architects of this year’s failed bipartisan border bill.

A group of about 100 migrants trying to enter the US along the Rio Grande in Mexico are led away from the border by Mexican military personnel on May 30.

“Republicans are unwilling to provide the resources to solve the problem because they don’t want to solve the problem,” he added, shifting the blame to the Republican Party.

“I think what we built would have worked in part to bring order along the border, because it involved some pretty significant reforms to the sound system and a huge increase in resources.”

Murphy claims that because Biden’s plan does not include additional resources for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), implementation of such action would be hampered.

Aside from the question of how this order will be enforced, the Democrat said he does not expect Biden’s plan to be legal.

“I doubt this will pass judicial scrutiny,” Murphy said. “It’s a pretty extraordinary exercise of executive power.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., lamented that Congress failed the president, forcing him to take action.

“Joe Biden has made it clear that his first choice is for Congress to act,” she told DailyMail.com. “Congress’ failures forced Joe Biden to take this step.”

‘He needs better tools. “Congress has failed to do what it needs to do, both to provide us with border security and to create a path to citizenship for the people who are here.”

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said in a statement: “By reviving Trump’s asylum ban, President Biden has undermined American values ​​and abdicated our nation’s obligations to protect those who face persecution, violence and authoritarianism.” to offer refugees the opportunity to seek refuge in the US’

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., architect of the Senate’s twice-failed bipartisan border and immigration deal, said Biden’s planned executive action won’t work and likely won’t “pass legal scrutiny.”

Reports on the plan indicate that Biden would reject asylum claims once a threshold of migrants seeking asylum within a week is reached. Migrants who enter illegally after that threshold is reached would not face the stricter DHS patrols, but would not be able to claim they are asylum seekers, who are entitled to a lengthy legal process to determine the validity of their claims

Previously, Joe Biden and the White House have said they want Congress to create new laws for him to enforce at the border. Now the White House is expected to go it alone and unilaterally order immigration reform, something Republican lawmakers have said he could have done all along.

Democrats in the House of Representatives also opposed Biden’s plan.

“I’m afraid this is just the enforcement-only side of the strategy,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-California, told DailyMail.com.

“The bottom line is that House Democrats believe we can and should secure our border while opening more legal avenues.”

The Californian said Biden should seek to strengthen temporary protected immigration statuses for those entering the US illegally.

“Those are things that we can do and that the Biden administration should look at,” Aguilar continued.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., wrote in a statement: “It is extremely disappointing to see the Biden administration severely restricting access to asylum.”

“This effort to close the border to asylum seekers uses the same part of U.S. immigration law that convicted felon Donald Trump used to implement the Muslim ban and in efforts to close off all access to asylum.”

“While there are some differences from Trump’s actions, the reality is that it uses the same failed enforcement-only approach, punishes asylum seekers, and promotes a false narrative that these actions will ‘fix’ the border,” Jayapal continued .

Republicans have also rejected the plan, calling it an election maneuver to give Biden the facade of being tough on immigration.

‘Our borders have become vulnerable and the safety of our citizens has been compromised. And here we are just five months away from this crucial election, with Joe Biden and the Democrats grasping for a political lifeline,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said Tuesday during a Republican Senate press event to celebrate the Biden plan to bash.

“Their recent announcement is nothing more than a desperate ploy to distract from their failures,” he added.

Sen. Blackburn, R-Tenn., expressed similar sentiments at the event.

“Human trafficking, sex trafficking, the numbers are going up and there you go with an election year political ploy to try to push this issue aside so that [Biden] can go to a debate and say, ‘Well, I did something.’

An energetic Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said at the news conference that Biden and Democratic lawmakers have presided over “a criminal invasion of the United States” by allowing more than 10 million migrants into the U.S. since the president took office.

He claimed that Biden “intentionally broke the system” and now, in an election year, the president is trying to fix it.

‘On the first day of his presidency, Joe Biden rolled into the White House. He stepped into the Oval and dismantled everything President Trump had put in place to monitor these illegal border crossings,” said Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.

“So now here we are years later, and it took 10 million illegal border crossings for President Biden to step up and acknowledge that there is a crisis at the border, and you know what, folks? It is of his own making.”

After the event ended, Ernst was heard whispering into a live microphone.

“In short, never trust a man whose uncle was eaten by cannibals,” is an apparent joke Biden for claiming that his uncle who died in World War II was eaten by people in Papa New Guinea.
