President Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday allowing him to temporarily seal the U.S. border with Mexico to migrants when crossings surge, a move that would suspend longtime protections for asylum seekers in the United States.

. . .

The order would represent the single most restrictive border policy instituted by Mr. Biden, or any modern Democrat, and echoes a 2018 effort by President Donald J. Trump to block migration that was assailed by Democrats and blocked by federal courts.

No Senate Presbyterian to stop it?

No existing court ruling that can peripherally be interpreted to be against it?

No articles in MSM about how this is such a terrible idea? Or handwringing from rich pricks about how they're 'unsure'?

only good things can be stopped

Or not even attempted for just lip service

You don't need Republicans when you have Democrats. They always end up normalizing policies from the last Republican president, which they previously pretended to oppose. clown

I haven't seen a lot of libs talk about this. They're still enjoying the high they received from the Trump conviction stuff. Perfect timing for the Biden regime to do some ratfuckery.

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 47 points 1 month ago

Not to mention preemptively giving the next Republican president more power.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

What, like a 'Muslim ban' or something crazy? Naaaahhhh, who'd do that

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 67 points 1 month ago

Not putting “in violation of international law” in the headline is journalistic malpractice to the point you should be barred from ever working in the industry again

[-] Des@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

nah we scrapped that entire concept for israel recently remember. not even pretending anymore.

[twirling mustache devilishly] time to make the left useless and impotent while amping up the right wing into violent psychotic heights!!!! boy it sure is a great day here in My, Satan's, America!!

International law shminternational law.

He's the lesser evil because he's not being original, he's just cribbing the other guy's notes.

Migrant crossings are still at a historic low, right?

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 45 points 1 month ago

The choice Americans must make this November is stark: Donald Trump's third term, or the continuation of his second term?

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

The low was at the beginning of the pandemic. Arrests hit an all-time high in December 2023, despite the silence of everyone with a "In this house, we believe that no human is illegal" sign: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/02/15/migrant-encounters-at-the-us-mexico-border-hit-a-record-high-at-the-end-of-2023/

Gotcha. thank you for the update.

Expulsions: Migrants are immediately expelled to their home country or last country of transit without being held in U.S. custody. Expulsions are carried out under Title 42 of the U.S. code, a previously rarely used section of the law that the Trump administration invoked during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The law empowers federal health authorities to stop migrants from entering the country if it is determined that barring them could prevent the spread of contagious diseases.

Lolololol invoking the old "unclean vermin" dealio when the official US policy is "if you see someone coughing ask, them to spit directly in your mouth". Oh wait my bad, the Feds stopped using that excuse in '23. Whoopsie, reaeding comprehension fail moment on my part.

Poor Obummer never got credit for the most vicious suppression of migrant workers in recent history.

Don't blame me, I voted for Bernie.

Finally, we pushed him left! The only thing that team Biden will do differently than Trump is surround the executive order with a bunch of liberal platitudes, allowing the judges to rule that the order is constitutional.

The "readers' picks" comments on the article are unhinged. frothingfash "I'm as left as they come, but . . ."

It's about time. My god, what took him so long?

You don't have to be a xenophobic racist to believe that the United States should control its borders.

I'm a lifetime liberal Democrat and I do.

Steve New York2h ago

The President completely missed the target on this one. He could have done this 2 years ago and eliminated a potent election issue . . .

Alex Florida2h ago

I am the son of immigrants. These issues always hit close to home for me.

It is about time these changes are putting in place. I want my country to be a place of asylum, and find myself inspired by our history of a golden shore, but we're seeing surges of economic immigrants never seen before who are taking advantage of our asylum laws and systems to do so.

The older I get, the more I realize how many liberals are just conservatives who don't want to be shamed

genuinely important that he loses the election

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

He's sure trying his hardest to lose

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 1 month ago

He ain't my president.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

you are more likely to be deported by biden than you were by trump

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

it is dark. you are likely to be deported by a grue

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure what Biden is doing. Most likely he has no idea either because he thinks it's 1985 and he's in the senate still. But whatever whoever is doing, doubling solar panel costs the other day, not pushing for student debt relief ("pushing" he can just do it. Congress already empowered him. There's nothing to discuss), totally buying into one of the most obvious lies from the right wing, and of course endlessly fueling a genocide... all of this in the last ~year heading into an election

Like is Trump literally the president like his weirdest followers have been saying? Because this has been Trump's second term. I guess we really are gonna get that third term the stupid MAGA dumbasses kept "joking" about circa 2015/16

[-] windowlicker@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

“This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country,” Mr. Biden said at the time. “That’s never happened before.”

“You come to the United States and you make your case,” he added. “That’s how you seek asylum, based on the following premise, why I deserve it under American law.”

hey...uh... what does this mean???

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Means he's violating US and International law, I'm pretty sure.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

It means that Joe's brain has completed its transformation to warm pudding

but i was assured the democrats were only pursuing this to put egg on the Republican's faces when they refused to play ball! football-lucy

The key to reducing harm is making sure the harm happens on the Mexican side of the border, I guess
