Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can't just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn't restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he's trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it's okay to leave.

Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we've signed and ratified.

Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump's muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump's Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.

He did all of this in plain view and you can't be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.
