Patrol officials now have the authority to close ports of entry after 2,500 migrants cross over. Once they hit this number, agents will cease all admissions for two weeks until entries are at or below 1,500 per day for seven days. For that duration, those seeking asylum and refuge will be turned away.
Biden’s proclamation on June 4 is a stark pivot from the original plan of action, and now deters those who are most vulnerable from seeking safety in America. “We have executed the largest surge of removals and disruptive activities against human smuggling networks in the past decade,” said Troy A. Miller, senior official performing the duties of the commissioner. “As a result of this increased enforcement, southwest border encounters have not increased, bucking previous trends. We will remain vigilant to continually shifting migration patterns.
“We need solutions to address the challenges at the border, but the administration’s planned executive actions will put thousands of lives at risk,” said Deirdre Schifeling, chief political and advocacy officer at the ACLU. “They will not meet the needs at the border, nor will they fix our broken immigration system.”
Suozzi and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick wrote a letter to Biden urging him to “restrict the entry of any “aliens” who would be “detrimental to the interests of the United States,” citing drug cartels as “guides” for migrants. In commenting to the, Suozzi said the current caps in place for legal immigrants are adequate and can uphold families’ dreams of being reunited.
