President Joe Biden is considering an executive action that could have a significant impact on asylum requests at the United States border, according to sources close to the matter on Wednesday. This measure could block the possibility of seeking asylum for those who illegally cross into the country, thus revoking a right that has long been a guarantee for those who set foot on American soil in search of refuge. This potential executive order would reflect a key policy of a bipartisan bill that was thwarted by Republicans earlier this month. The bill included some of the strictest border security restrictions in years, with the condition of closing the border to newcomers if a certain number of illegal crossings occurred in a short period of time. The measure currently being evaluated by the White House would have a similar impact to the failed bill, blocking access to asylum for those attempting to enter the country irregularly, according to sources who have chosen to remain anonymous to discuss internal deliberations. If implemented, this proposal would harken back to former President Donald Trump's 2018 attempt to curb migration, which was heavily criticized by Democrats and blocked by federal courts. Biden's consideration of this action reflects a significant shift in his approach to migration since taking office, having promised a more humanitarian system in contrast to his predecessor's management. Although a measure of this kind would face legal challenges, the mere contemplation of this action by the president indicates a more restrictive stance on immigration than initially anticipated in his administration. The potential implementation of this measure will undoubtedly spark debates and controversies about the limits of immigration policy in the United States and the balance between border security and humanitarian rights.
