This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to unveil a sweeping new executive order aimed at curbing migrant arrivals at the US-Mexico border.
More than 6.4 million migrants have been stopped crossing into the US illegally during Joe Biden’s administration - a record high that has left him politically vulnerable as he campaigns for re-election.
CBS - the BBC’s US partner - and other US news outlets reported that Mr Biden has been mulling use of a 1952 law that allows access to the American asylum system to be restricted.
The same regulation was used by the Trump administration to ban immigration and travel from several predominantly Muslim countries and to bar migrants from asylum if they were apprehended crossing into the US illegally, provoking accusations of racism.
“As we have said before, the administration continues to explore a series of policy options and we remain committed to taking action to address our broken immigration system,” the spokesperson added.Republicans criticised the Biden border plan as an election-year ruse and argued that US laws already exist to prevent illegal immigration, but they were not being duly enforced by the Democratic president.News of the potential executive order comes as numbers of migrant detentions at the US-Mexico border fall.
Recently released statistics from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that about 179,000 migrant “encounters” were recorded in April.

Wait so Biden revives a Trump policy……and now Republicans have a problem with it, but don’t give specifics as to why they suddenly have a problem with it?
Is there anything he can do right in their eyes???

Die, probably. But then that would result in President Kamala Harris and I think they’d hate that even more.

Its not that. Its the timing. Hes changing policies in the short term, and as soon as hes elected hell go right back to letting everyone in.
TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 5 months ago
But he isn’t letting everyone in. Very important point.

Oh so your problem with it is what you think he’s going to do in the future after he’s re-elected, rather than the thing he actually did?

I know some ppl trying to take a three week vacation to the US. They applied for a visa. They need to do an interview to get the visa. The interview is scheduled a year and a half from the day they applied and is on a random weekday in a city 8 hours from where they live.
They applied in 2023. Biden is doing the opposite of letting everyone in. They make it such a pain for just tourists, let alone residency visas.
